NBA Live 13 Preview

I smell a game delay.

Well, it sounds like the fact that they only had a years worth of work done is rearing its ugly head. This game needed EVERY second of that delay to be used for development time.

Sadly these guys only had one year according to that interview so I'm not too interested in this one anymore. From the preview it sounded like Live 10.5 which is cool just a few years too late.

I'm usually more neutral when it comes to bball games but EA really disappointed me after reading this one.

@ 2 years to still be having animation problems.

Looks like the devs who were working on Live 13 were to busy paying attention to what was going on with the Madden team to have dropped the ball like this.

Man, they had 2 years and a great foundation with Live 10. They will never catch a break here on OS.

Im sorry sir... but they had extra dev time.. .if they screwed that up in anyway at all, they'll be lambasted

Right now, people don't believe in EA basketball, and nobody created that but EA... and rightfully so, you earn respect and trust

Right now, I wouldnt look for too many positive onlookers, especially with reading something like this

2 years is enough time to make a good game man. If its not this bad, so be it and they'll get credit for whats right, but there are no more excuses...

Don't forget why

Wow that was a letdown to read. Damn, i was hoping for something decent to get my basketball fix in this year. The last hope is maybe being able to slow the speed down to create some sort of tolerance. Makes you wonder what they were doing in the 2 year window. Wish we could get a mlb the show type experience in a basketball product in the next generation of consoles.

Obviously synergy didnt mean a whole lot either because of the use of it, and the fact that I had to tweak Live 10 to stop what should've been normal basketball 101 stuff, I hope that license to use synergy doesn't make them lazy on the ratings front.

Derek Fisher should not have an 85 defensive recovery rating

Disappointed with 2k13 so far, looks 99% like last year's game, from this preview, Live 13 don't sound too promising either, I still have hopes for EA though.
