NBA is the game that they need to focus on... when I think about 2K sports, it’s probably 80% of their portfolio from a unit basis and a revenue basis. It’s a great game, but we’re not walking off the court crying here," Moore stressed to us. "We’re focused on building a great game for next year. The team has got the time to be able to look at everything that we need to do to make sure that we bring quality back up and be competitive. So we can go over the whole story again from last year - it was unfortunate, but we’re a brand and a company and a label that is very focused on building quality and we’re not just going to walk away from it; we’ve got a very, very talented team that’s already got stuff up and running even though it won't ship this year, it'll go next year. So we’ll be back."

None of that means it's a working title.

And it's Peter Moore. Honestly, last person whose word I'd take on the progress of a game.

That being said: It's a poor choice of words that only heighten expectations. No excuse there.

I just hope this game hits the shelves/marketplace. That way they can take the problems and improve. Its way better than taking a year off and then a build is leaked and all the observers can't even figure out which game they built off of...

Why is he the last person?

Oh I get it... after they gave FULL CONTROL of the basketball game to a Hockey man... thats why huh?

He said they had things up and running... this was back in 2010

Its 2012 now, but even if you say screw what he said... you cannot deny what you see

Sony's game lauded as the joke of the 3 was cacelled after that series and it still looks better than what we saw today

Whenever I hear of a he said/she said, he said/he said, or whatever type situation I always consider who has something to gain by lying about their take on the issue.

EA game developers say it is an early build...fair enough. Do they have something to gain by lying? Absolutely, by covering their butts they may save some sales for the game. Have they lied before? Seems they have according to multiple sources on this board.

2 or 3 guys in this thread who claim to have played footage at E3 that supports this being a newer build...do they have reason to lie? None that I can think of unless they just hate the Live series, which I doubt they do.

So, I'll go with the people who have no reason to lie over those who have tons of $$$...cough...reasons...$$$...cough..to lie.

Quite frankly..he has to say that. He can say that all the way up to October 1st.

It's just going to make him, all of the Devs and producers look even worse when the game comes out and it's clear that they are releasing a subpar product.

I'm tired of the nonsense.

All of this let's lock ourselves in a room and BAM...mid-September when we start releasing videos the sheep will be back on board.

No dice man.

It takes a leaked video for the community to actually give you constructive criticism of your game....AFTER 2 years??

Miss me with that.

Blah, ignore me on Peter Moore. I said that because I confused him with Peter Molyneux.

Anyway, up and running doesn't mean a complete working copy.

Like I said, I'll wait till EA releases video and actual demos are out before commenting on the gameplay.

I'm digging it. I loved Live 10, and this game looks like Live 10's sequel. I'm fine with it. My expectation wasn't very high to begin with. The mechanics are looking a little wonky, and LeBron's post up was weird, but since this is a pre-Alpha build I'm not surprised. The presentation was good, and the faces look fantastic. The dribbling needs improvement, but this is a good base for Live 13. 2K13 will be the better game, but Live will be beginning a rebuild.
