NBA Live 13 Preview

[Dantecamp21]

I'm a fan of both games so no bias here. I really want this game to be awesome. Like many of you, I'm a tad discouraged right now. Steve's preview was a punch to the face.

I say let's play the waiting game. I believe EA knows they can't afford to bring a half-baked product this time around...

Early build or not, not a very good first impression for a game that hasn't been in stores for 2 years. But i will wait for gameplay before i completely write them off. Im still holding hope they can put out a decent game this year.

Honestly, I don't care if it's an early build. I thought they said there was going to be player movement without plays being called, but instead players are just standing around doing nothing? They knew all eyes were going to be on them at E3. There's just no excuses, as far as I'm concerned, for the game to sound this bad.

I really wouldn't be surprised to see this get delayed to around the All-Star break next year. It doesn't even sound like Live 10.5, It sounds like Live 09.

Same feeling here.

From an outside perspective this game seems like it falls victim of putting together a team too late to try to accomplish creating a realistic gameplay basketball sim that also looks good and plays good. From everything I have heard they tried to salvage what they could from elite and they really didn't have a true two year development cycle. You don't spend 2 years developing a basketball game and you are only 60% complete. It is good to have competition though. For those that buy I hope it is good though.

From the preview it sounds more like Live 10 than a game that's been through a 2 year dev cycle. Really dissapointing news as the version being show now should be fairly contemporary and all these animations and gameplay features should already hsve been implemented in the game.

I just want it to be fun. With all the things the 2K does right, sadly, it's just lacking in the fun department. I just get pissed when I play that game (the passing/turnovers don't help). I really enjoyed NBA Live 10, wish they had just kept at it.

So I don't care if this is the greatest b-ball game in the world, I just want the fun back.
