You can't be serious. I hope this post is sarcasm. A Pre Alpha doesn't have that much in it's build. I played Pre Alphas, Alphas, and Betas. What they displayed was too far along in production.
Why do you think they stamped a $20 price tag on it? They did this because that is what fans are getting.

So this is actually a better deal than ESPN NFL 2k5. 2k you were getting for 40% of the original price and Live your getting for a third or 33% of the original price. Can we really complain? Especially when you don't "have" to buy the game.

Wait a minute now.... THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE PRICE IN GAMES BETWEEN NOW AND 7 YEARS AGO!!! Stop smoking crack kid!!! The difference is you have the most complete football game ever made for twenty bucks vs a pile doo doo for twenty.

With people buying Madden, even though it has a lot of flaws and stuff that haven't been touched since Madden 2005 ... EA is smart for releasing NBA Live 13. They can throw out an unfinished, unpolished game and still make money off of it. It is a good tactic for EA so instead of not releasing anything and not making any money - put out an inferior product, with a price and fill up their wallet.

In my opinion, they started off on the wrong foot by using assets from Elite. In no way, shape, or form should that have happened. Using assets from a failed game is not how you build a new game. The time they spent cycling through assets they could use from Elite could have been time spent building a new engine. I don't know if EA was just trying to be cheap and not invest a lot on the rebuilding of the franchise or what. But when you've been out of the game for two seasons, you don't try to make a comeback by recycling a canceled game and trying to be lite with the budget. Live has forever been tarnished.

If EA sport don't matter what release this 20$ NBA Live 13, for me it will be unconditional proof of threir incompetence. They just once again prove their direspectfull relations with the fans. They just keep us for fools, its once again proves that they have no balls, no courage to admit their defeat.
Look at 2k team and what they do with their NHL franchise despite the fact that NHL2k10 in some ways was won even NHL 12. They just closed it and concentrate on NBA2k.
Some of you might think it's only 20$, who cares? But it's not about money, it's about respect to us, gamers. Don't be the fools!

This is what I don't get, guys would rather spend their money on a series that was so bad at one point that it got cancelled and it's next installment looks drastically worse than it's best effort in years than a game that is improving each year.

These guys talk about getting Live '13/Elite 1.5 instead of 2K because it's different, when they should just stick to playing Live '10 with updated rosters. Live '10 looks better than Live '13 and if Live '13 plays anything at all like Elite, Live '10 will play better than Live '13 as well.
