I'm trying to think of something LeBron has put his name on that has flopped, nothing really comes to mind (correct me if i'm wrong). And what star is bigger than LeBron right now; if Live has LeBron on the cover this game can not possibly turn out to be an Elite 11

The Decision?

If it's to gauge our interests, ok, but I doubt this would be the official cover.

Does EA have rights to use the AmericanAirlines Arena? I haven't played live in forever but maybe its like how they couldn't get solider field in Madden for yrs.

well when ea did talk about their game or show pics it was mostly about lebron so most likely its going to be lebron on the cover but i dnt think the cover design is going to be like that just base on the other ea sports designs but they might wnt this game to stand out frm the others..which may be part of the reason they letting their other games get all the shine right now since they all about to come out soon. In my opinion is smart because we all knw nba live 13 wld be most talked then other ea sports game right about now and the sad part it is,it is kinda already being the most talked about ea sports game right now which kinda back firing on ea if that was the plan. so either way they kinda hurting themselves but i believe they going to have solid basketball game and 14 is going to be alot better. just my thoughts!

He won a ring though, what's bad about that. I'm just speculating anyways, I feel like they would have to show him something to spark his interest in being a part of this game. If the game looked like NBA Elite I don't think LeBron would be on board (If he really is the cover athlete).

Who cares who is a cover? It doesnt add anything to the game or anything. Covers for NBA, MLB whatever could be a glass of rocks for all I care

I am a huge LeBron fan and have been since he was at St. Vincent-St. Mary's. However I am not a sheep and I won't be buying this game solely based on him being on the cover (we don't know for certain yet, but just saying hypothetically).

Is LeBron supposed to be covered in flames? Or is that paint he is wearing?

Either way looks like EA was heavily inspired by the smoke and energy trails that 2K is well known for.

Could the anonymous source be EA...? This is really intriguing. I mean this cover art looks pretty realistic. If it was submitted by an anonymous source, it's probably real. I don't know...
