OS Poll: Predict NBA Live's Fate

[Marvc]

If they release this game it needs to be 19.99 to have any chance.

I didn't read much into NBA Live not being in yesterday's summer showcase after watching it. They only showed 2 sports games, both Wii U related. They didn't even show Madden Vita and it supposedly launches right along side the console versions and I don't think its even been shown publicly yet.

This showcase seemed to be more for the benefit of their Mobile side (non Vita/DS) of gaming than anything.

It could be yesterday's event wasn't the best place to debut to the public NBA Live 13.

I don't thing going digital-download only on the consoles is the right route. There is to much noise on the home screens and market places of the 360/PS3. I think NBA Live would get lost there. And a lot of people would balk at wanting to wait on an 8 gig download.

Whatever is going on with it. Not showing anything to the public a couple of months before the game supposedly was supposed to launch is a horrible sign. If a publisher or developer is afraid to show the game to the public so close to launch date then there is only one reason.

They have to have at least one trick up their sleeve. Waiting for this hands-on later in the summer.

I have a strong feeling that it won't even happen. If so, I don't think anyone will care about it anyways. I wanted to give it a chance, but now lost all faith.

Maybe a january release!!!. I dont see them canceling an NBA release again. A December/JAnuary release may eb beneficial to EA. By then soem folks will have had their 2k fix filled and will be willing to try something new.
I believe they did this with tehir college game back in 04. They released in January

There is about as much of a chance as 2K Sports releasing MLB 2K13 as there is of EA releasing a new NBA Live. If EA can't monopolize an exclusive license to a sport, they don't produce the game. The quality of EA titles just isn't there to compete with other developers making games for the same sport. EA exists to take your money, not to produce amazing video games. Accept it.

This is a load of crap. EA has only monopolized NFL games and that's because the NFL left them with no choice. The NHL series was simply a better product and had better support than 2K's. Not to mention the market for NHL video games is quite small. 2K tried to turn the tables on EA with the MLB 3rd party license and only ended cutting their own throats budget wise. Plus MLB 2K just couldn't compete with The Show. As for the NBA series, it might have been a different story had they not taken a left turn after NBA Live 10. In any case whether it's an NBA or MLB game or both that EA comes out with, they are gonna have to bring their A game to compete with The Show and NBA 2K. All businesses are here to take your money, that's kind of the point of being in a business.

I still think the game will be out on store shelves by october.
