Yeah I don't think there is a limit on the size for GoD.

If anyone doesn't think it can happen, they released Resident Evil 4 and Crysis on GoD and nowhere else for next-gen, so using the GoD model for this game certainly is possible.

Money didn't seem to be an issue...

Here's the thing though that I'm confused about regarding the whole thing. Those games weren't brand new titles being exclusively released On Demand. They were already on the market and eventually released as a GoD. I can't even remember any game in the GoD space on either system that was released brand new straight to the On Demand platform. It's always been disc releases that eventually came out GoD and typically a few weeks or at least a month after the retail disc release.

Can EA bypass that? Is that a rule that has to be followed or what? Maybe EA will finally open their mouthes and give some confirmation on SOMETHING tomorrow.

Yeah, until we hear something, anything, from EA - it's all just speculation and guessing.

With a month before release, EA doesn't even have community reps on this forum. You think they'll ever confirm or deny this before launch?

These are tell-tale signs of a company abandoning a franchise.

There are reps here so you are wrong.

As has been mentioned quite a while ago, until EA can officially say something you shouldn't be expecting them to post. And your type of posts "calling them out" do absolutely nothing but harm the already minimal relationship we have.

So please do us all a favor and focus on the game for now.

Though ive formed an opinion of my own on this whole thing. Things WERE looking promising with how community events were being run early enough to get the game up to speed but somehow through the rigamarole and the Jay Z partnership LOL things just got well? stale.

EA did very well with Nba jam. and those looking for a quick "listen i dont wanna go to a store right now" fix might actually be interested in it.

I think EAsports is targeting a COMPLETELY diff market with the release of this as a digital download. MANY will blindly buy the way we blindly buy arcade game cuz well? "we're bored that night" LOL....

So again this games for an entirely different demographic and audience

OS makes up probably 25% of the user base of NBA Live anyway

So Live guy can STFU.....
