OS Roundtable: NBA Live's Digital Release a Good Idea?

12:01 PM - September 4, 2012 by RaychelSnr

Well here we are. We've gotten some news on NBA Live 13's fate, but not sure whether we should believe it despite every sign really pointing that direction. Is NBA Live 13 destined to be a $20 DLC title? If so, what does that mean for the franchises future?

OS Staff writers discuss this very thing after the jump!

Totally agree with you guys I dont mind the 20$ price at all and who wouldnt lol as long as its a decent game then I'll buy it but if its exactly what we saw in the leaked footage then I'll pass on the game. If the game isnt as good I think EA should stop making NBA games or at least let a different game company develop NBA Live because EA is ruining it.

$20 for a basketball game is great! EA did the right thing with not putting this game out for a full $60. They want to get feedback from the gamers to see what they can do to make a better game. They will not ever reach the level of 2K, but $20 for a game for the people who do not like 2K is good.

I've stated before, I've got MS points to burn and if I can't find anything else to spend them on, I will give Live 13 a try. But on the other hand, they're doing this for feedback, we've been giving them feed back for years. It doesn't seem like they're listening to it at all.

"I'm not making a decision based off a video from a pre-alpha build." -Bishop Tart

I agree completely, and this is all I have been trying to say this whole time. Until I get some solid official info I'm not making any decisions. If the game is solid, I'll buy it, if the game is bad, I won't buy it. But I'm not gonna base my decision off of a leaked pre-alpha video.

It seems like just because the game is releasing for $20.00 people assume its terrible and not a full effort from the development teams. I don't believe that, I feel that this game could be a solid basketball game for a third of the price we pay for our other new games. I will continue to hold that opinion until something official from the NBA Live team shows me otherwise.

this will fail worse than the EURO 2012 DLC for Fifa12....

# 6 juicey79 @ 09/04/12 12:44 PM

They want feedback for $20 bucks feedback should be free.
If they truly want feedback make the dlc free...just use the old bulls vs lakers format.
Only make last years team available. That way we can give feedback at no cost to anyone.
But I know EA isn't just concerned with Feedback, more like $$$ is the priority.

Its time to stop beating that drum man

	My thought now is NBA LIVE 10 should've been pollished, fine tuned, tweaked, adjusted, and damn sure re-advancing the engine that can go NextGen instead of what I've been seeing. Next event... Who knows? I'm only saying this as a poster. Hopefully I won't get shut down from my statement.. Because I am sharing this with you guys.

This is from a guy seeing the game as it is

You still want to continue to act like there should be some love thrown around for a less than standard of a game?

I have yet to see ONE person who has seen this game in any stage say anything positive about it.... NOTHING at all.

for $20 after the video i saw..and the failed years of nba elite...why not

# 9 Jadakiss88 @ 09/04/12 01:11 PM

IMHO it's better than nothing. If EA didn't release a basketball game they would have suffered the same fate as 2K Football games albeit for a different reason. EA is now run by corporations and investors long gone are the days where they looked to put out a quality game now it's only about the bottom line. IGN wrote a good piece on how Corporations are ruining video games. It's fairly obvious that EA is trying to reinvent the wheel with their Games starting with Madden. If they didn't release anything this year for basketball that would have been all she wrote for NBA Live.

They have are feedback already and know what is needed there doing this so they don't have to cancel the release again

# 11 ccoaxum @ 09/04/12 01:24 PM

you know i'm just shocked that we havent heard anything from anybody that was at the gamestop expo because it was stated that the game showcase their...so dang where are the comments from there or the videos?

# 12 TheLetterZ @ 09/04/12 01:24 PM

Is releasing a lousy game for $20 digitally a good idea? Hell no.

Is it a better idea than releasing the same lousy game for $60 on a disc? Probably.

23 just quoted someone from the AC. Does that comment count?

# 14 ccoaxum @ 09/04/12 01:31 PM

i didn't really pay any attention to the fact that person was at the gamestop expo because it really say that in the quote and to answer your question no not really because he is just one person and everybody has their own opinion about things. So in other words i rather see screenshots or videos myself, so i can be my own judge..not a huge fan trying to go off of other ppl opinion about things.

No sign is better than a bad sign

and the 30 people ready to sign up to pay for what we've been doing for years for free already leads me to one of two things

They're just telling you that just to get you to DL and wont really care about your feedback regardless

Two they'll use that to suck you in the next go round

Anyway, I dont see why some guys passed up on NBA 09 but are willing to throw this game a bone.

Dude this isnt someone from some gamestop expo, this is one of their community guys who visits that place more than anyone you've heard from to this point

# 17 ccoaxum @ 09/04/12 01:36 PM

well dude like i said that comment was not clear on who the person was or where the heck he saw the game at. An again i rather see the game myself to judge...period don't care who the person is...am i wrong for wanting to see the game myself?

# 18 keator @ 09/04/12 01:36 PM

A lot of fifa head were excited too, when we first heard Euro2012 was going to be a DLC this year, than the game dropped......

Well im clearing it up for you so that you wont be confused because you referenced a place that I did NOT.

I understand you're hopeful and all of that, but I just decided to post in reagards to the person still beating the same pre alpha drum

You can see and judge for yourself all you want. When I posted E LIte footage some people still wanted to see it even though Boozer and Bynum were jumping from the FT line

I feel you and all of that, im not telling you to buy or not, I just know what I will or will not do.

# 20 ccoaxum @ 09/04/12 01:54 PM

i know you didn't mention man...it wasnt you cause this it was boilerbuzz.. i was responding to what he said to me and he refer to one of your quotes so all i am doing is explaining where i was coming from. Thanks for letting me know more about that quote that you did put tho. By the way i never said rather or not i was hopeful about anything ..i just said i wanted to see it myself, far as the elite thing go hey you did i was on here when you but again everybody got the right to want play the game themeselves so all well just how life is ya know..sometimes you right and then sometimes you wrong.. you win some u lose some...lol hey in EA case they better hope they dont lose anymore smh. N thanks for not telling what to do with my money
