Re: NBA Live 15 Fans Getting the Short End of the Stick

So WTF, have you played NBA Live 15?

I find it funny everyone keeps asking him has he played Live 15. Of course he has played it. He may not have played the latest build but of course he played a build of the game. He can't talk about the game details until EA gives him green light to do so. Just like other Youtubers get access say to Madden way before release date he has played the game. What would be the purpose of a Gamechanger if you couldn't see the community issues/wishlists in the actual game before it releases? It wouldn't even make sense lol.

Now back to this story. EA is doing exactly what I expect, they are waiting to the last minute to give actual videos. O'Brien spoke too soon about the actual release of all information like he had control over marketing. EA would rather not say anything than say something. Not sure what marketing is thinking there but those far away pictures didn't do much for me. However I would not be surprised if the budget for marketing was not as high. The truth is most of the improvements of the game will show in actual gameplay which are the last thing that gets released in basketball games. There are really no new modes some tweaking of existing modes but I expect all the improvements to the game will be noticed in art/player models and gameplay.

Seems like no one can just play both games, enjoy some aspects of both, but maybe prefer Live..

there's always a need to throw a "I hated/didn't like/couldn't play" the other game etc." in there...like there needs to be a justification...

Just an observation...don't know why the community is so game war oriented.

Because people only buy one basketball game

I bought two last year and did so for the majority of the last two console generations.

Re: NBA Live 15 Fans Getting the Short End of the Stick

Why are people gathering that I'm only relying on WTF's critique of the game and no one else's??

I thought I made it abundantly clear that I trust a majority of the OS Community first and foremost.

There's nothing better for us than competition. I welcome that 10 times out of 10.

Re: NBA Live 15 Fans Getting the Short End of the Stick

Honestly. I don't see the point of the hostility anymore. They said they release a demo before the release of the game, download the demo, try it out, if you like, buy it, you don't....then don't.

No pics, or sizzle trailer will sell this game to me now. It's been a loooooooong time between me and the live franchise. Give me the demo and I'll take it for a spin and if I like it, I'll buy it.

If I was to predict what will happen, I'll like the demo better than live 14's demo but will probably still pass on buying the game.

Either way, I don't need pics, sizzle trailer, gameplay blog etc. just give a demo....that's my game seller.

The way O'Brien has been talking the last day on twitter he's making it seem this is the greatest bball ever..At least he sounds confident in his work...

Sorry I don't waste money on a product I don't intend to play just to say I own both game, I always felt that statement to be a bit silly, but people can do what they want with their money.

Because most companies now offer insentives to pre-order, if EA continues to wait until the last minute to release info they have already lost, if you are only getting one basketball game this year and with the trust factor lost by most of the community its hard to justify waiting to play the demo to decide, most casual fans just need that wow trailer to decide.

This post is wasted on me my man. I didn't buy the game just to say I own both. I didn't even buy it for full price or in a store. But I do like to see for myself just how good or bad something is.

Like I said you can waste your money however you like, I buy the best product available don't have time or money to waste on a bad product (no matter how big a basketball fan I am)just to find out how bad it is, we have a demo, reviews, OS, and streaming to find out how good something is without putting down hard cash.

I often wonder what drives this hostility towards live. I find it hard to believe people here are that upset because they bought a live game for $60 once and were disappointed to the point where there is a constant need to point out negatives here and make demands like they are owed something.

I didn't agree with the OP because it seemed to cater to the lowest denominator here of where is the trailer and live sucks type responses.

Hopefully with the trailer and demo coming out soon we can get some good dialog going and constructive feedback for wtf to bring to the devs.

The hell does this even mean man? As a consumer you are owed a quality product. Particularly if you're told you're going to get one thing and end up with something else.
