everyone's confused when it comes to NBA Live. I thought there was something today as well just that nobody from OS was going to be there. Was it really cancelled? I guess they're just continuing the trend of cancelling things related to EA's basketball games.

Live is due out in oct. It's using ant tech found in other games with improved physics, live 10 controls(hooray no shotstick), good graphics, espn presentation, online modes, synergy stats Im not butthurt cause I'm content with Live 10 and can get a game online any night of the week. I put Live 10 in the top five all time of games I like. Until they take down the servers....then I'll come and complain at the evils of EA for letting a cult classic die. If Live 13 for whatever reason doesn't come out, I'll be the first one here for them to keep the Live 10 servers alive like they did when elite got cancelled. Hopefully they will update the rosters or re-release as a digital download with updated rosters.

I agree with you and think you're absolutely right. Its like people hold some huge grudge against EA that they can't let go. I don't think EA owes us anything, if you didn't like Live 06 and then you went out and bought Live 07 then that's your fault.

There's no law that says everyone must go out and buy every NBA Live game every year. If you fall for the marketing hype, then step your research game up. They haven't even showed us the game yet and people are mad because they "deserve" a preview because of the pain EA put them through and the bad games they didn't force them to buy, c'mon.

Someone compared them to a restaurant with a bad reputation, ok yea if the restaurant was bad for a couple years and i didn't like it i probly wouldn't go back. But if that same restaurant came out and said we're under new management, have new chefs, and a whole new menu then those past memories mean nothing to me because i wanna see what the new place is about.

People are treating this game like its the same guys putting out the same thing as last time. Its an entirely new team with new tech, new goals, and new focus.

NBA Live doesn't owe me anything, they owe themselves a good basketball game

This new restaurant has had 2 or 3 new managements and the food, service kind of still suck big time.

Get it finally, it's not hatred, it's not grudge. We just want a competetive game from EA Sports.

Do people really pay $60 for a game without playing it first? I can't think of a single time I've ever had "the buyer's remorse", especially on a sports game. I mean, I agree that EA seems to be dropping the ball a bit in the development and advertising of Live 13, but they aren't putting a gun to anyone's head to buy the game, and if it sucks then they will be the ones hurting the most. Worst case, I'm out $2 and a few hours of my time (thank you RedBox). Settle down fellas, it's Friiiiiiiiidaaaaaaaaaaay!

This game in not hitting the shelves, but you might still be able to play it. For a nominal fee ofcourse.

This is truth, nobody is forced to buy the game. If you bought all the past NBA Live's because of the name then shame on you. EA doesn't owe you anything, you owe your bank account an apology.

If NBA Live 13 doesn't come out and advertise like "people" think they should, so what? Live doesn't need to win back any fans or try to corral the troops again, they just need to create a good basketball game. If your a fan of basketball and understand the sport then you will be a fan of a good basketball game, that's all there is to it.

If your a life or death loyal supporter and fan of a company then you're just cheating yourself (especially if you don't receive any benefits or work for the company). Brand loyalty is something companies thrive off; Jordan and Apple for example, but there's better basketball sneakers than Jordan's and there's better software than iOS.

Just waiting for Live to show me something.

But now the restaurant has a new menu, new chefs, new management, and even a new building in a different state. They've basically tried to re-establish themselves, that's enough for me to be willing to give them a try.

I'm forgetting the past NBA Lives they mean nothing to me, its a new direction. If the new direction is bad i won't buy, if i like it and think its a good direction I will buy, simple.
