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

[RaychelSnr]

Well here we are. We've gotten some news on NBA Live 13's fate, but not sure whether we should believe it despite every sign really pointing that direction. Is NBA Live 13 destined to be a $20 DLC title? If so, what does that mean for the franchises future?

OS Staff writers discuss this very thing after the jump!

Totally agree with you guys I dont mind the 20$ price at all and who wouldnt lol as long as its a decent game then I'll buy it but if its exactly what we saw in the leaked footage then I'll pass on the game. If the game isnt as good I think EA should stop making NBA games or at least let a different game company develop NBA Live because EA is ruining it.

$20 for a basketball game is great! EA did the right thing with not putting this game out for a full $60. They want to get feedback from the gamers to see what they can do to make a better game. They will not ever reach the level of 2K, but $20 for a game for the people who do not like 2K is good.

I've stated before, I've got MS points to burn and if I can't find anything else to spend them on, I will give Live 13 a try. But on the other hand, they're doing this for feedback, we've been giving them feed back for years. It doesn't seem like they're listening to it at all.

"I'm not making a decision based off a video from a pre-alpha build." -Bishop Tart

I agree completely, and this is all I have been trying to say this whole time. Until I get some solid official info I'm not making any decisions. If the game is solid, I'll buy it, if the game is bad, I won't buy it. But I'm not gonna base my decision off of a leaked pre-alpha video.

It seems like just because the game is releasing for $20.00 people assume its terrible and not a full effort from the development teams. I don't believe that, I feel that this game could be a solid basketball game for a third of the price we pay for our other new games. I will continue to hold that opinion until something official from the NBA Live team shows me otherwise.

this will fail worse than the EURO 2012 DLC for Fifa12....

They want feedback for $20 bucks feedback should be free.
If they truly want feedback make the dlc free...just use the old bulls vs lakers format.
Only make last years team available. That way we can give feedback at no cost to anyone.
But I know EA isn't just concerned with Feedback, more like $$$ is the priority.
