Outlets won't be getting reviewable copies of NBA Live 15 until release day

[jyoung]

Some bad news for consumers wanting to read detailed NBA Live 15 reviews on or before its release day:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>EA has just informed me there will be no review copies of NBA Live 15 until launch. Expect our impressions on launch day, review to follow.</p>&mdash; Dan Stapleton (@DanStapleton) <a href="https://twitter.com/DanStapleton/status/524720468423483392">October 22, 2014</a></blockquote>

Dan Stapleton is IGN's reviews manager.

This was also retweeted by Kevin VanOrd, who is GameSpot's reviews manager.

I know, I know. This isn't a big deal at all, we shouldn't be concerned about this in any way shape or form. This is completely acceptable behavior. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

maybe its because of the day one patch.

The delay delayed everything so this is expected. Wonder if they had an opportunity when other outlets did to play the game though. Either way we get to play it and write our own reviews! Too bad for the people that need to hear what ign/gamespot need to say. Bummer...

Huh....can't form an opinion from a demo ?
The herd needs to be spoon fed I guess.

Expect excuses to appear directly following your post in some fashion..

Either this is going to be one bad *** game (in a good way), or just plain garbage. It doesn't matter though, I not buying this game. I just can't support a company that pulls this kinds of foolishness. They even want people to pre order a game, that we haven't seen in motion. No early copies for reporters to review. I just don't get it.

Usually early copies of sport games are handed out here and there (given to celebs, athletes...lucky dudes etc.). But when it comes to Live 15, does it mean that no one in the world will have a physical copy before release? If so, that's pretty amazing.

This all becomes moot on Thursday.

Much ado about nothing.

Wow, the NSA has a lot to learn from EA.

Not sure if I'm more excited about the release or how this game will be received come Thursday.
