NBA Live 13 Gameplay Video - Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

First reaction after watching it yesterday: this is totally not close to final product footage. Pretty much confirmed by EA Sports at this point saying pre-alpha. This is EASILY alpha footage and really shouldn't be judged.

All sports games look this rough in pre-alpha.

While it is entirely possible EA said similar things when they showed Elite...turns out it was the final build (or near final)...so we have to take that into account when discussing this.

From what some have said, it appears to be from around July but a later build than what was seen at E3.

This could be an incredibly evil marketing play ot set the bar ULTRA low and then blow us out of the water or this is what it is and hopefully it is decent enough that they build on it for next year. Sadly its looking like the latter....something we shouldnt have to deal with in 2012, let alone from EA Sports....

I stand by my post. IM NOT MAD at Live cuz i expected this game to be trash. game has been bad since game next gen era. but they give live users hope and i dont like that. how is nhl so good but nba and madden(up til this yr) look this bad. everyone that workeds on nba live should be laid off without pay.....hate all u want....i speak truth

I'm trying to resist commenting on this, however, it plays just the same as it did at the Elite 11 community day I attended. The presentation was NEVER the problem, we all actually loved that idea. The warping, skating, mechanics, lack of signature sets, etc.. is still present here.

Very frustrating.

As I've said since the Elite debacle, stop trying to add features, online modes, and all that garbage. Fix the core of the game first before you go building on top of a weak foundation.

Finally saw the video, and wow is all I have to say. Presentation in the beginning was great, but once the gameplay started, it just fell down from their. I was going to get Live a chance since Live 10 was a solid game, but its clear they havent used it as a base for this game. I dont buy the pre-alpha build unless they want to show a current build as of today, but everything from the menus, team select, and load up says other wise.

OFF Topic: Did not want to bring 2K into this, but with 2K giving us a choice on using the right stick for dribbling, and this video coming out, it makes I think a lot of people choices easier.

Wow, this games looks and plays at least 5 years old. The movement is so robotic, and it lacks animations causing them to shoot jump shots in layup range etc.

This looks like a IPad game. A $10 game. Not a console. I hope it's a very early build. If not bring back Elite. Or just upgrade rosters, commentary, and presentation to Live 10.
