The two components that actually deem a game as being playable or not. Great.

Yet they admitted to investing thousands of man hours on faces.

But animations and contextual "stuff" gets rushed at the backend.

I got it figured out. T.I. is going to drop some more smash singles like "Whateva U Like", "Live Your Life", and "Dead and Gone" right before Sept 4th to save his album, Trouble Man.. Then EA is going to show the game and it will be the greatest game you ever saw, and the marketing scheme will be "You Thought We Were In Trouble". That's it Live executive produced by TIP.

They should just release '05 with better textures and graphics. For the box art, photoshop a Knicks jersey on Melo. Put the files on a Blu-Ray disc, better yet... Strictly PSN store. Xbox marketplace $9.99 or free with the purchase of a Hornets Road game

Looks like NBA Live 13 is going to be a digital release:

EA should only i mean only market the game when the game is ready 4 the community. Cuz that was that was the mistake ea made wit elite 11 there where hyping a product that clearly wasn't ready to be shown nor released. I believe EA not goin to show nba live 13 till they believe the game is ready to be shown to a community that ready don't believe in them. showing anything least then a soild product is stupid. But in Silence EA got the community attention regradless of the negative feedback it bring. But at the same time Support or haters both want to see NBA LIVE 13. I believe that the silence is a new market stragery. i could be wrong....but idk

the only way you can successfully market a game in a month is if the game is good..really good. The only thing i can think of is that EA is going with an opposite strategy than what they did with Elite. For Elite all they did was talk, saying things like "This game is going to be the evolution of basketball games", "There will be unprecedented control", "We're not just adding more animations (clearly taking shots at 2k) that lock you in and take away control, our system is organic and allows full control at all times". And then the demo dropped and it seemed like everything positive they had with Live10 (which is arguably the best live game of all time) was gone.

Maybe, just maybe the strategy is to keep quite, don't speak or say too much, take a modest approach and let the game speak for itself. The only problem is that their competitor 2k, which is already king when it comes to basketball games, has barely shown anything themselves. I'm thinking that 2k is just waiting for EA to make a move so that any kind of hype that Live can build, 2k will kill it once they show off their game.
