NBA Live 15 Shown Last Night at GameSpot Expo, Not Shown Today at All

Re: NBA Live 15 Pulled From the Show Floor at the GameStop Expo

I feel like NBA Live/Elite has generated enough stumbles, blunders, oversights, miscommunications and outright disasters to fill college business, PR and marketing textbooks with case studies to learn from for the next 20 years.

What in the hell is going on over there?

The odd thing is, the game actually looks pretty good in the extremely brief moments (screenshots, 5 second clips, etc.) we get to see it.

NBA Live Team still can't face the reality! They can't accept the fact that they will be burned by gamers again! SMH!

2k is playable.... has been since gamescom. I thought you did your research before coming to a blog.. Geez, the links you guys go through just to justify or defend is getting crazy!

The footage we got is garbage. We got nothing that we can actually properly look at, same as Live. Not defending Live. It was clear it was being shown for a day.

Do I agree with showing it for a day? No, they should let people try it out but lets not act like the plan for EA to let people play for multiple days and all of sudden decided not to.

I understand why Live and EA are bashed so much and that's fine but whats with the double standard? 2K is being released in less then a month and we have no official footage. EA at least put out some official footage.

I dont expect Live 15 to be this amazing game. I just dont get how some of you can look at Live's state and be like its hopeless and not say that about 2K.

I also wanna add another thing. I've been reading this forum for years and every year its the same thing. Excited for Live and EA to make a game, get let down, 2K comes out, gets great reviews, a month later 2K doesn't even work properly and people on this site are ready to boycott it.

Neither company seems competent enough to actually make a proper game that's fresh every year. It's the only reason why im being patient with Live 15, it's because I have no choice. I'll probably get burned again but basketball games desperately need competition.

EA can't be serious. They're really going to go down this road again. They're really going to alienate what little fans they have left. Damn shame really. We all want live to succeed but they sure know how to make it hard.

Give up and merge the NHL and NBA teams and maybe between both of them they can finish a game...

[JKSportsGamer1984]

NBA Live has become the biggest joke in sports gaming history. Just give it up already EA. It's getting embarrassing at this point. Even if the game turns out to be decent, they've already alienated so many on the fence potential customers just by the way they choose to go about marketing the game smh. They're shooting themselves in the foot.

[rbfn04]

Really makes me question the "positive feedback" this games been receiving if it's coming from mangers that will sell the game. Makes you wonder if they have some incentive to praise it

Ya think!?

[jpollack34]

I don't know if the game is good or bad, and make no judgement in that regard. But one thing is for certain... what a marketing and PR disaster... EA handled this series so poorly. Absolute disaster.

I wasnt going to sign up. The other day I saw gameplay videos posted by EA and no one on here realized it so I just signed up to post the videos. You won't see me post much lol.

Didn't realize so many posters here live in Cali right by that GameStop and hoped to play it today. You should be pissed! As for the others...nothing has changed. Demo and game will come out.

Super damn duper sad!! How can anybody defend a company that deceives them every year like this. They lied, the game is not that great..The End. It's sort of like McDonalds offering free breakfast to kids in order to promote healthy eating. You'll always have people stand up and say.."hey it's not so bad and that was really nice they let little Timmy eat for free" Without realizing if lil Timmy eats this garbage every day, lil Timmy will die. If the team was proud of this product, they would stand behind and show it. This is nothing more then a desperate attempt to sale as many copies of poor product as possible. Hide it before they realize what it is. Hurry up man sale it..Their catching on.

It actually makes sense. It also makes sense if you have something to hide. If you dont, it makes sense because you wouldnt want parts of a game shown that will be (might be) cleaned up before release. When you're in the position of having more to lose than the competitor, that's the game. We have the get use to it and get over it.

If they have something to hide then... well we'll find out either through a demo (which I dont think will be happening) or when the game ships.

That's exactly what I'm saying. They would like you to buy it first and then realize how flawed it is. I'm not a supporter of EA on any level ( not since 05) and I have a solid bull**** detector. This is a disgraceful way to treat a consumer. Whatever negative feedback they get, it's absolutely deserved. The lemon law should also apply to software.
