NBA Live 13 a $20 Digital Release This October?

[nova91]

If I didn't have 1600+ unused MS points just sitting on my XBL account I sure as hell wouldn't spend my money on buying them to get a demo, which is pretty much what this is, a 20$ demo.

So after 2 years they are releasing a game for $20 and it's only downloadable? SMH. How is it after all this time to come up with quality, you still aren't ready for prime time?

This can't be good in regards to their relationship with the NBA. Also they are just wasting the ESPN license(in regards to basketball). All I know is they still better have a demo.

this game will get no support from EA after release and EA is just trying to milk some money from consumers instead of canceling again. 2.5 years and they can only release a xbl arcade game SMFH
That garbage leaked video will be the final version of the game. Might as well play nba live 95
I PRAY THE NFL WONT RENEW THEIR CONTRACT WITH EA

That is the demo...

Not my buddies. They have minds of their own.
You have the right to feel the way you want to.

I'm just calling it how I see it.

Anyway, as I said in the other thread, I'm thrilled that I only have to pay $20 to play an NBA game this year, that's pretty sweet. I'm also excited about playing the game and giving EA as much feedback as I possibly can. I hope it sells well and next year we get the full AAA title.

This game wont do Facebreaker numbers.... which was a combined 52k. The suits will see the huge disparity in sales between this and 2k13, and its all over.

XBL Arcade games have trial versions, so you can try before you buy.

I am not shocked. I will also say that almost 3 years of work for a DL title is a terrible move on EA's part. Lastly I will put money on the fact that what we saw in the video is actual gameplay.

Smart decision by EA? Does this mean Live isn't up to par quality wise? Sound off!

Can I say that I'm not surprised....its just funny to me
