If NBA Live 13 Doesn't Hit an Oct. 2 Release Date, It's as Good as Failing to Launch

nba live 10 improved soooo much and then they messed up smh honestly, ea just needs to hand nba live to a competent developer that knows basketball. making a basketball game can't be this difficult for professionals. ea's biggest mistake was not taking 2 years to develop nba live 13. on the bright side, new engine, so one can only hope....

I started thinking more and more about NBA Live 13's silence and maybe they're just working hard at the game right now and don't need to slow progress on unnecessary advertising or whatever. If the game is coming out, they will release info eventually but maybe they need this focus and silence to put as good a game as they can out there. I've been with 2k since 2k5 on ps2 and I've hated the little competition basketball games have had. (And I could go on and on about how much I hate EA for forcing 2k to stop making football games). We need to have patience. Live has a new engine and new talent so I hope their game is competitive. NBA Live 10 was competitive and a HUGE improvement so they should focus on improving from that game and get rid of whatever they had with Elite.

EA, why have a game made by developers who don't know basketball? screw it, EA only cares about Madden and FIFA and don't need NBA Live since they're making alot of money already. Same way how 2k doesn't care about MLB 2k. In addition, EA doesn't even deserve to have the football market all to itself smh. No one deserves to have a market without competition.

History has shown when EA is tight-lipped about there B-ball games before release, in past years it turned out to be a mess. Gotta believe this is the case again

Can't remember what year but I think it was 07 and EA would not release any vids of there game and when it came out we were shocked. Anyone remember the "Rainbow" jump shots??? Not one vid that year and we couldn't figure out why.

At this point I truly believe this game is gonna be a mess. Just my take

I thought 09 had the rainbow jump shot where as soon as it was released you knew it was money in the bank...

07 had those Street Fighter combos to pull moves off.

This is very similar to the NBA Live 07 release.

The only "gameplay" they would show was TMac shooting around in the gym by himself. I really was surprised to see that people still went out and bought that game only to be disappointed.

They marketing footplanting and released screenshots that were graphically incredible looking. But the actual on-court gameplay was utter trash.

I didn't put together that if EA made this digital only, they'd still have to charge $60.

That would be another grave mistake.

At this point I'd be very surprised to see a game this year. Right now I'm expecting a PR announcement of, "We are dedicated to putting out the best NBA basketball game to our fans, and while we want to do that as soon as possible, doing it in 2014 would ensure our fans get the best we can give them."
