Let them (LIVE)breathe a bit and release other info and vids first. ...and to those that want to just edit rosters, I do believe they said thats not going to be possible except in exhibition play.

I edit 2k rosters so you can't say I don't know my stuff, 2ks ratings are worse then NBA Lives I'm not talking about overall ratings but individual ratings.

Should we be excited about this draft stuff. How mahy years has EA had to develop a basketball game? Where are the videos of gameplay and improvements? You mean to tell me that after 2 years in the making, EA doesn't have any video to showcase their revamped basketball product. SMH. Listen people, don't go overboard because their posting stats for rookies. What good does the stats mean if the game is terrible?

Remember when 2k used to do the same thing, they wouldn't release gameplay until the end of the summer. Then they'd release that "momentus" gameplay trailer that showed off the game and different players, while EA was marketing everything they had. Now 2k's marketing everything, and Live is quiet.

Let the people at EA work on the game instead of trying to convince people by marketing schemes.

Let me get how this works

If EA releases a pic, "the EA hype machine has begun". If they don't, "they're afraid because their game is garbage". Even if they show the rookie ratings, they're all wrong...

At the same time, we have a guy on twitter spamming us every day with how 2k13 is gonna be awesome. We only saw a couple of plays and it's basically the same as 2k12 but we have to believe him...

Why don't we wait and see? And most important, why some of you try to convince people that they shouldn't play one game or the other? I don't get it... If you're mad at EA/2k, don't play their games, but what gives you the right to tell me what I should play?

I win exactly 0€ defending EA or 2k. I want to play both games. And most importantly I want to enjoy both games. I guess I'm to old for internet wars...

Definitely a double standard, but with the overall effort, sans Live 10, this gen has been a complete disaster for the Live brand, so I can't really blame people for being hard on them.

Me myself, I'll be patient for game play and judge then. I've heard the whole spectrum so far, so that's when I just wait to see the game with my own eyes.

Ok yes I am typically a "2k guy" but I think to say EA Let us down is a huge understatement. I would go as far as to say NBA Elite 11 was a shot at false advertisement that thank God Hard8Times exposed that garbage. They claimed they were making an honest attempt at a simulation game and that was what they came up with. So I feel like it is safe to assume that was either a pathetic, cheap, low budget attempt, or they are incapable of making a half descent basketball game

And when I see people say "just wait and see how things play out" I say well we've been waiting 2 years. I honestly want to know, how are they supposed to compete with the Dynasty that 2K has built? An average game, or even a good game for that matter won't cut it. I honestly believe for NBA Live 13 to not be the last Live game it has to be not only the best Live game ever made (obviously) but one of the top 2 or 3 basketball games ever made and have a lot of potential. This is the last chance that the community is going to give EA when it comes to basketball.

I think all of the "Hate" and "nitpicking" is more than justified.

Personally I thought the ratings seemed like a point or two low? As long as the ratings change throughout the season through updates like in Madden, and I assume they will (EA's always been good at updating), then I'm happy with them.

It's typical NBA LIVE, but It's not that big of a deal based on how little most of these players will improve or falter in Dynasty Mode.

Live needs to fix that then. 2K's potential system in association works really well and so do development drills and off season camps. It's not fair for Live to doom lower picks to lower potentials, it takes away from late/2nd round surprises. Obviously they most likely won't become stars but they can become good starters or regulars (low or mid 80s).
