If this wasn't the third year of not having this feature then maybe you would have a point, but at this point people are tired of settling esp. With NBA Live, so yea if the other game has more to offer then why would people drop an extra 65 to get a game that has less to offer.

I myself was going to buy Live this year just to support, but seeing what their main focus was I can no longer do that because i am not part of the target audience that they want to reach right now.

I disagree, alot of the ppl that post over here have been live SUPPORTERS for YEARS through thick and thin..Heck we ALL grew up playing live because it has been the STANDARD for sim bball for years throughout our childhoods...So if some of the OG supporters are like "nah fam im not getting it" best believe its for good reason...none of that fanboy stuff they just support GOOD bball/modes and know when things are iffy...gotta respect that..NO agenda involved im sure

September 15th is what's gonna help me determine if this game will be worth any money and time this year.

Anybody see this lol ?

I had NBA Live 06 and I remember there being player/roster editing. Shoot, I wish EA put that in. However, I will still be buying both NBA Live 16 and NBA2K16.

Well considering selling a million copies in a year seems to be the equivalent of scaling Mt. Everest even if it only added 100 sales I'd say it would be worth it.

Anyway, this does nothing to help my confidence of them actually sticking to updating things like say NBA Rewind. I think each team has about a total of 30 games available to play in the Rewind section and only the Cavs and Warriors actually had playoff games available.

I'll probably get this again this year, but as usual it'll be used from someone for cheap so I don't have to give EA my money. Thought for sure I was on the road to getting this day 1 this year from PSN.

You all can debate the decision all you want, and feel that you're correct, I thought the same way. But analytics of the masses say what to focus on. And even though everyone thinks it's as simple as adding a few menu buttons... that couldn't be further from the truth. Sure, editing is on other titles. The code has been in place for those. For this title, it isnt. I want editing, but the assumptions that they aren't listening is assanine. Once the game is in your hands (for free), you'll see that they listened to a ton of gameplay feedback. This is just a little tougher than adding a few menus.

I do agree that companies should look at analytic's to prioritize what direction they want to go with their game.

With that said this is sort of a chicken and an egg issue... I mean, what's the last year that Live or Madden had player editing? And how many people aren't playing their franchise modes because they lack customization and options? To me it's one of those "If you build it, They will come" situations and we won't know what effect editing has on sales until they actually add it in.

As for myself, I'll give them game a try during it's free trial. However, even if the game play was amazing without a deep franchise mode, roster editing and custom draft classes, then there's no need for me to purchase it. I'll simply wait for it to come to EA Access to play it again.
