At this point 23 it's pretty clear that my man is a EA Sports troll and is providing nothing productive to the forums. Dude is just embarrasing himself and OS at this point. I mean this latest quote shows just what lengths he'll go to defend Live/EA. Not even a week ago he felt like this....

Fast forward to today and he's citing Jordan and the other someone's who last played over a decade ago for why LeBron is going to spike sales, even though he was poo pooing those dudes impact on game sales, especially Jordan.

It means captaintuna made a 'spam' email account to mail the photoshopped cover he made, so he could use it to support his arguments on OS. He is running dry on evidence to support his viewpoints on the threads, so he's in full scramble mode.

This cover design kind of has a DIGITAL vibe to it. I think it could be legit. Another thing I noticed was the Rating pending box it has. I think every custom/photoshopped cover I've seen so far have the retail rating on them.

Idk though.... I like the design, even though you wouldn't expect them to alter/distort their cover athlete like this. Unless of course it is for digital only then it kind of makes sense......

And If this turns out to not be the official cover, I still think the cover athlete will be a younger player like say Irving or Rubio. If anything at all......

Good points, RayDog. EA did have Irving and Rubio in the studio this past spring to take a look at LIVE 13.

The cover looks ugly to me.

I'm not really a fan of the 2k cover either, but with all of the negativity Live has to fight off, a standout cover is one of the things they'd need IMO.

Put me in the camp that says it's fake.

If anyone doesn't think that having a premier athlete like LeBron on a video game cover will NOT translate into a HUGE spike in sales (compared to the previous version), then I have some Enron stock to sell you!

So you said LeBron being on a cover would spike sales, 23 posted a game where the sales sucked and had LeBron on the cover, and according to you 23 is ignoring facts? Word?
