NBA Live 10 vs. Gamestop

[bigsmallwood]

So I just bought NBA Live 10 from a local Gamestop....Now mind you, I pre-ordered NBA 2K10 form the exact same store with NO problem...I went and picked it up with NO problem.....

Fast Forward to this evening, I go in and pick up NBA Live 10 and the guy behind the counter asks me am I sure I want to get NBA Live....and I definitely say YES! He hassled me for about 10 minutes, nearly refusing to sale me the game...I am tired of this practice!

Number 1, he knew nothing about NBA Live 10 and has practically NO sports game knowledge... Number 2, if a customer asks for a game, they should not be objecting so STRONGLY to their choice....SMFH.

I just wanted to put this out there...maybe EA Sports or EA needs to approach Gamestop about this practice....I live in multiple states, and have bought NBA Live in different Gamestops...but each one they all do the same thing.

Not Cool.

I see that same thing happen all the time at my gamestop. What EA can do about it is continue to improve their product. This year was a good start in the right direction, but they have much work to do.

I'm happy with my Live purchase because of the gameplay, but that alone isn't going to get their rep back. 2k basically crushes Live in every aspect outside of gameplay. And even with gameplay 2k has way more animations even though it has a poor gameplay foundation.

If EA didn't trash the reputation of their own game by releasing garbage year after year it wouldn't happen. I like when they do that at gamespot. It makes me go do my homework on the game then make a decision.

Just give them the ice grill next time and say, "B*tch, give me Live."

Tell him you're going to Best Buy and then walk out.

And then call the manager later.

Its like people should be ashamed of buying of live, Its like know matter what they do Live will always have that arcade stereotype stuck on it.

I love the thread title


on topic, this used to be the case, in reverse, a few years ago.
I experienced it.

'Why you want to buy 2k? Live is better. You sure, man?

Pretty much the answer right there, I almost gave up on live after live 08.

Yea I've always been a 2K fan, but Live crushes NBA 2K where it matters this year and thats on the court.

But yeah, EA's game is MORE than worth your time to check out...
