NBA Live 13 Being Shown to Select Outlets Thursday

EA I think is taking a good approach to this.

Yeah, they could have released more screenshots or a sizzle trailer, but is that really going to show us anything?

The game is going to be released, unless it's an absolute disaster. EA will release information soon. They won't wait until September.

I'm just happy EA isn't throwing out crazy marketing hype over their game. We've seen what 2k's so called "Great announcement of all-time" has created. All it's created on this board is disappointment and trust issues.

I'm not sure how this Live title is going to be, but I have faith that they can eventually release a solid product in the future.

Good Job EA it took you 3years to make a basketball game and it will still be **** compared to 2k.

Completely unnecessary post and no contribution to the thread. There's no reason to throw out crazy assumptions when we haven't even seen the game yet, and haven't really seen much of 2k13 yet even.

Dat Marketing

Why you mad OS?

No matter what we have to find out about the game, there's gonna be gameplay videos, there's gonna be articles, and there's gonna be trailers. Eventually the game is going to have to speak for itself, no one has to buy this game. Yea they're only showing the game at certain outlets but so what. If the game is garbage its garbage, no article will change that. If the game is good its good no article can change that either.

EA should honestly just pack it in with basketball and focus on picking up the baseball genre again to compete with MLB The Show.

Why?

They would have to start from complete scratch to try beat out possibly the best sports game EVER made?

Instead of making a game that they've already made on next-gen systems.

This is odd EA dvelopers were here at OS prior to elite 11 being shown. Now they don't want to show OS an early view? This doesn't sound good but good or bad the demo and gameplay videos will show what the game is about.

Tweaking? They better be executing a major overhaul. I hope Live eventually makes a decent return, but hiding it from customers and playing the waiting game doesn't seem to be the smartest strategy.
