Interview with NBA Live 13 Developer Scott O'Gallagher

[RUFFNREADY]

I hope he isnt the only guy with actual bball game experience? EA needs to bring something good to the table or the "Community" will start eating their own! Watch OG!

cheers

Mike Wang did too but I guess they didnt want that

Gameplay vids.

I'm looking forward to NBA Live 13, but these developers need to stop talking up a storm and show me something. At least get me excited and announce a "Be a Pro" mode and EASBL. Tell me something that matters or better yet, show me something that matters. You got less than 3 months left to convince the Basketball Sim fans..so far nothing.

its 3 months left ea shown us nothing but snippet clip of live 13 with lebronattacking the hoop during montage of other EA Games during E3. I need see in depth gameplay defense, playing calling, new passing system and Online Features.

Lol. I wonder what really happened between MW and EA....

As for this post, I started to comment yesterday that once again, just another hype interview and STILL no actual gameplay footage for we da public. I'm not digging this unless the Live team is so hunkered down in devving the game that they're gunna pull a rabbit out of the hat and at least present a game that's more respectable than what I'm hearing was shown at E3.

What up OG, it's your boy Sim. I see ya Fam!

EA is great for hyping their fans up! EA love using the most well respected members, by using things like the community events. They gather who the community respects and force their ideas on them. I went to EA before with a 268 pages well written document of ideas and wishes from both the fans and me, an athlete who had experience. Guess how much made it into the game 10%!

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping Scott actually make a difference but he better be ready to hear it from the people in the community when EA force feed him their perspective of what will work and what's in the best interest of EA. EA thinks a hybrid(sim/arcade) will not get noticed by the true sim fans....wrong!

I have been there, done that. Scott has a more hands on approach, so maybe, just maybe we will get better results. Scott doesn't want to be a sim nation outcast

Not to be the bearer of bad news.... but...

NBA Live is terrible. It has been terrible for as long as anyone can remember. Can anyone recall when NBA Live was even remotely realistic as a basketball game? Unless you owned a SNES or PSOne, YOU CAN'T.

The reality of the situation is really quite simple. No one at EA Sports is a competent basketball game developer... Period. So much so that EA gave the franchise to a HOCKEY GUY.. I repeat, A HOCKEY GUY! I still have the NBA Elite 11 DEMO on my 360... and it STILL makes me laugh uncontrollably! No ability to control your player's speed, graphics from 2 generations ago, no player-skill differentiation, and a shooting mechanic that can only be described as... INDESCRIBABLE. This is a company that is so disingenuous that they were literally SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS about how REVOLUTIONARY NBA Elite 11 was. This is the same as calling every single one of us an idiot... TO OUR FACES.

Please, EA NBA LIve Franchise, just go away. I don't think anyone is interested in hitting 30 step-back 3's while falling out of bounds with Chauncey Billups and JR Smith.... and that was on the best iteration of NBA Live... EVER. (Even Mike Wang couldn't save it... but I give him the utmost credit for actually trying).

The idea that competition breeds better quality games is true... but not applicable here. Live and 2K don't compete... in the same fashion that MW3 and Avatar Deathmatch don't compete.

So... who's really excited to play a game that's 2 years in the making BUT developed on an 8-month cycle with animations and A.I. mined from even OLDER versions of the same failed franchise?

Yeah... doesn't sound so appetizing when you hear it described without the hype, does it?

For the record... NO DISRESPECT TO SCOTT O'G.... he's just EA's latest designated fall-guy so no one points at the top brass.

ps... how 'bout some gameplay vids... so we can see Carlos Boozer taking off from the foul line... AGAIN.

SMH.
