OS Roundtable: NBA Live's Digital Release a Good Idea?

I think it's self-evident when they hired the former college basketball point guard as a GAME DESIGNER. With no development experience.

EA does not care about NBA Live.

Or a hockey guy in 2010? Yeah, I know. But those dudes are just the ones thrown in your face. But I'm not just talking basketball. They do well with hockey and soccer.

digital release is a good idea for Ea, as for they will loss alot of money packaging up this game, plus it eliminates refunds with being a dlc.


$20 still too much for this product. When 2k sold there basketball and football for $20 back then, they were giving us a full product. including box art.

I just think its not a good idea.

I think the engine that EAS uses is probably bad for basketball. It works for FiFA and FIFA is king of the football world. The engine doesn't translate well into basketball. I think they'll be back next gen but not this gen.
