All Promo is Good promo even Negative promo for NBA Live 13.

this is what a lot of you may not understand about marketing. the more everyone begs them to "show us something, tell us something." the more time they have to not show you anything or tell you anything.WHY because their is obviously still a huge buzz out there.

And yes just because we all assume 2k is better this year from what we've seen. like light years ahead make no mistakes about it. lets assume that vid was pre-alpha. doesnt matter 2k is still light years ahead. and i'm not your average 2k lover that hates on live. this is just facts at this point until Live shows us otherwise.

If you realllly want EA to show their hand. make this the last thread you guys make about this game. Dont ask about this game. dont ask gamestop. dont post on EA's site. dont go on other sites that talk about the game. nothing, zero.

they embargo you from knowing any info but they still have your DESIRE to know. so Flip it back on them. stop asking. embargo them from the Buzz and Promo. then all of a sudden you will see info about the game good or bad.

that means no more venting about it. keep all live 13 convos to your close friends/relatives lol.
let this be the last new live thread you see. shoot. dont even reply to this one. nod your head quietly and go on about your business.

Huge buzz? Where? At some point people need to realize that nobody but those of us who are hardcore basketball video game fans give a damn about Live. Casuals couldn't care less if Live drops ever again, they wouldn't even know.

Stop trying to justify what EA is doing. This is not a case of 'no news is good news' for Live. Guys are losing their minds with this 'marketing plan' crap. I guess if Marvel wants to make the most money possible on their next movie, let's say....Ant Man just for arguments sake. They shouldn't say anything about it, show any clips/trailers anywhere, release no promotional posters for the thing or any of that. Then two weeks before release they can just release all that stuff then and be good to go for about a billion in sales.

One of the biggest misnomers about marketing is that all press is good press. Its simply not true. As someone who's been in marketing for nearly 20 years and a small business owner I'm comfortable stating that there is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to negative press.

No question that even bad press can be productive but only in a small limited amount and certainly depending on personal preferences. A good example might be a restaurant that serves odd or unusual foods.

"Live" or whatever this game is going to be called has long ago passed the point of generating an air of interest. They're at the point where they've begun damaging their brand.

The only time bad press can be a positive is if something is just so bad that people get it just to see how bad it is. Sometimes games like that become cult classics, not because of their revolutionary gameplay but because its just terrible and will likely be a collectable in the future lol ESPECIALLY if it gets cancelled.
