Hoping just for solid fundamentals and good online experience is the exact reasons why next gen sports gaming has sucked for the most part. You're setting the bar too low and that's why consumers get these crap games year after year. Reasons like this is what pisses me off. Don't you have some contact with EA? Tell them to raise the bar and that no...solid fundamentals and good online is a complete failure for a title that took one full year off without a release. Hold them accountable man.

My own game? I haven't played EA basketball game in 5 years lol. I have no input on live, my opinion is purely from a fan standpoint. I don't think either game is a real representation of the sport. Cool off a sec man, I'm a Madden guy. Do I own nba 2k12? Yes... The approach to their game modes is great (online though is easily the worst in sports gaming according to nearly everyone on planet earth), their presentation is great... Their Gameplay isn't very good... Certainly not a simulation of the sport... Then again neither is Live. I don't care who makes a better game... I want the sport represented right. You should too.

Alright enough with the pessimistic opinions!

Does anybody know if anything will be revealed with this open house for ea today or tomorrow? The suspense is killing me.

He's pretty active though so you should be able to get a response.

Thats comical. "Not a simulation of the sport"? What are you looking for? Is it a perfect simulation? No. But there has never been a basketball game thats had the animations, strategy and atmosphere that NBA 2k12 has. 2k12 and 2k11 are the closest we've ever gotten to a true sim (especially with slider tweaks). Seriously what are you looking for?

That's exactly what I've been wanting to know but Im sure you'll keep getting EA tagline answers about stuff like online, presentation and passing
