"Is the game coming out" That shouldnt even be a topic, and while I do believe they will release a game, the secrecy and hiding is the last thing they need to do What people dont realize about Live 10 is that, that team was completely transparent with their marketing, Steph, Mike (doing videos from his home) and the rest completely showed their hand because they worked to gain trust from the community. At that time, Steph was a community manager before becoming a dev and he was taking some rough comments from posters throughout Live 09 and maybe 08 as well... can't remember... (check his really old posts and you'll see yourself StephensonMC) These guys arent doing what it takes to gain community trust, they're still disconnected

Yea I don't know what the heck Live is doing with all the secrecy and lack of info. I mean if the product is that scary after 3 years...dang ha. What a cluster----

I just dont think OS is the end all be all and the "community" We are a small but vocal portion of the people that buy their products. This place is good in that devs do come here and post but this is more of a forum where people can hide behind their words and say whatever..

So the issues at hand is live 13 is building off elite physics/ant tech while incorporating live 10 control scheme with espn presentation, standard online and limited offline gamemodes. There are some pics out but no gameplay.. Info should be out this month. I dont see what there is to hate on that...

Man, I really thought Live was gonna at least be a solid game this year with all the time EA had. Hopefully it still is a solid alternative, but EA isn't making me feel confident in this game.

I'm very interested to see what comes about tomorrow. Are the outlets with access going to be honest in what they see or is everybody going to come back claiming the best basketball game they've ever see to get the hype train rolling? Cause I guarantee if they start posting how good the game looks, dudes are going to cling to that immediately and EA will be getting paid by a lot of dudes regardless if the game sucks or not in reality.

Man what the heck are you talking about?

I dont see anybody hiding except EA

...and again OS must've been something in the past for EA to come here and try to pimp it as hard as they could

How many sites are devs out there doing this at again?

Yes there is good reason for some of the hate but it's nothing like on the 2k section. The info will be out this month and we can all make our decisions and I will gladly read the owner and user reviews here and other places.

It's a big enough site that they've had developers for every major sports game release post on here and they've given the site exclusives many times before.

Weren't they in the old NCAA Basketball forums too until bolting without a word when everybody ran into the freezing bugs and EA pulled the plug on the series?
