NBA Live 13 Being Shown to Select Outlets Thursday

[BlakkMajik3000]

Some of you really need to get off it.

How dare OS members be so mean to EA?!?! It's hurts EA's "feelings" (since, you know, corporations are people now). That's why they aren't invited to the "super secret NBA Live 13 pajama jam tea and crumpets bash"!

True enough, there are some people that literally live to just hate on whatever EA does. They're called trolls, and every forum in existence has them. However, most criticism lobbed at EA is legit, and it's not the fault of OS or it's members that EA can't handle it.

I realize that EA wants to keep playing "chicken" with 2K to see who will reveal first, but that's a game that will end very badly for EA.

2K has the reputation of the best basketball game ever. They could probably still sell at least a million copies of 2K13 even if they didn't show a single gameplay video prior to release. Their reputation affords them the luxury of waiting for EA to show it's hand first.

EA, on the other hand, is the one that has to convince people they are capable of making a legitimate contender to 2K. They do not have the luxury to just keep everything secret until 2K shows something.

Bottom line, EA needs to put up or shut up. All these games they are playing are making them look WORSE every day.

SMDH at this nonsense. If you actually ventured over into the 2K BASKETBALL forums you would see this is not the case. Not everyone likes the game and more and more people are getting fed up with the marketing.

Other than that why bring up football in a basketball forum?

And for those saying OS has bashed EA the last 3 years, read this thread, it'll show you that real is recognized here.

OS was excluded but IGN and HipHopGamer wasn't?

Since we're bringing up football here, think it's safe to assume that Stern doesn't get an invite either since he wouldn't sign an exclusive deal for EA so they could keep their spot on top of basketball like they did football.

Have you looked at the 2k basketball section at all? It's basically constant negativity 24/7. I'm not sure where this "OS hates EA and loves everything VC puts out" stuff is coming from.

With all the "SMH" on the this forum, we could power a wind turbine.

So far neither side has shown anything. I don't think EA and live are going to show us the most incredible basketball game of all time...but 2k isn't perfect either. I don't want either company to fail because they both have influenced video game basketball in a huge way. I'm grateful for that.

It's the same waiting game year after year.

Ah just my 2 cents I guess, seems like what I see on here but I'll take your word on the 2K forums.
