Because hell 2k, has lost a lot of trust with 2k12.

Yeah and if NBA Live fizzles out NBA2k16 will be the same as NBA2k13

lakers vs celtics was the TITLE back then and it was a completely different game. LVC was a breakthrew nba title for its time. LIVE 95 changed everything about LVC.....totally different games

NBA Live 13 is in development and they've had 3 conferences for it for the community which is on a complete NDA(non disclosure agreement)

I know marketing and this game will not come out this year. You need to market any said sports game two months in at least for it to gain another user base of interest which EASports cares more about...NEW CUSTOMERS.

The core us guys I suppose will buy it if it's announced within a week of it being released and will blindly want to get a fix because it's ..well? OUT!

Nowadays though its all face value. NBA 2k not only went with basketball stars but it went ahead and got JayZ in for trying to capture even more... NEW CUSTOMERS

EASports has been rumoring a Lebron Cover and why can't that happen? they got Durant? and Durants a big star just like Lebron is who's actually DROPPED in popularity in the sports world to be honest...

Either way I do not see this coming out this year....

Hope EA burn in hell for everything they are doing to gaming (VIP Pass, DLCs, shutdown of good franchises, etc)

I don't understand why everyone is egging on Live 13'. In the back of your minds you're wishing it comes out and it's the best NBA sim ever, right? So why this adolescent tactic to finger point and accuse when you know nothing about what is really happening.

Fact 1 - NBA Live 13 will at best will be a legitimate basketball simulation, hopefully with as little frustrating problems as possible.

Fact 2 - NBA Live 13 was never meant to be ground breaking. I know myself and others probably have great ideas as to how the NBA Sim can evolve and become great, but as a company you don't take risks like that when you're trying to catch up with the competition.

Fact 3 - It's a turn based strategy. 2K is up to bat, EA is waiting for them to finish their turn. In a few weeks, once 2K is done spilling the beans, we will have all of our Live 13 information. And trust me when I say it will not be anything spectacular or revolutionary. A new development team and only a year to turn a franchise around, we're back to the basics.

In summation - Stop fooling yourselves, stop getting yourselves riled up, don't play the kid antics of "LIVE IS DOOMED!" "OH NO WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!". Be patient and be optimistic. It's just a game.

Subversion,

If EA didn't want to be groundbreaking then why did they claim their hybrid stick was groundbreaking? And you say Live 13 is gonna be legit like it's a fact without any facts to back that up!

Your playing the game of lowered expectations. And it doesn't make Live 13 any more of a basketball sim.

Marketing 101, hot terminology. Is a hybrid stick going to revolutionize any basketball game? NBA 2K13 also has a new right stick control scheme, it doesn't elevate the game to "groundbreaking" status. You should know better than that.
