NBA Live 13 a $20 Digital Release This October?

[SHAKYR]

I'm not paying anything for a game EA was bragging about months ago. They kept saying they will compete and dethrone EA. They just wasted our time and are treating their fans like sheep.
How much more feedback do they need? They have forums here and at EA with tons of feedback. Heck, they have Scott Ghallegar from the SimNation there. EA doesn't think a sim game will sell this why they never pushed hard. Even though NBA 2K sells well as a sim game , EA is scared to shake it's arcadey style.

If this game sells well as a 20 dollar game who or what's to say they don't stick to this formula?

if the gameplay and online is decent with stats upgrade, maybe this is a good thing.

I seem to remember ESPN NFL 2K5 and ESPN MLB 2K5 being top tier games. At $20 each, they were the two greatest steals I've ever invested in.

I wouldn't say Live is in that same category, but they are simply doing what they have to. If there is any way for them to get back into it, they need to try and get any kind of word-of-mouth they can receive.

what everyone is missing is that nba live 13 was never suppose to nor was goin to compete wit 2k13..nba live 13 was ment & still is a buzz game to get live back on the basketball gaming community radar. it was never goin to compete wit 2k13...i been saying 4 the longest that the real nba live game was goin to be in 2014. live wasn't goin to come out the door and compete. ea didn't even get a full development cycle for live 13. but ea also new that skipping another year would of been foolish tho. drop the game as a dlc somthin fun.
release add on an what not... then put 2gether a full high quality product that will compete. they'll get a full development for next second.. ea put themseve in a positon to compete 4 next season. their nuth they could of done to compete know. 2k is just way way way way to much....

Wow the game hasnt dropped and youre already mentioning "next year". Give this guy the prize for the magic words of the day... "next year".

The difference is that back in 2005, 2K's titles were quality games sold for low price, and not some experiment-product like EA's. Now you have a game that is sold for low price because it's just not worth it. I don't believe it'll sell well either way.

I'm waiting till we hear official word from EA on this but if it's true.....they have made it real easy for me to stop shelling out money for all their games.....no more madden, no more Fifa, no more NHL......Done! I wrote to Peter Moore after elite went bye bye and asked that they keep support going for Live 10 in the form of roster updates and DLC packs... Well at least we got roster updates for a year....but it's all about ea making money and not hearing the fans opinions.

I have owned every basketball game ever made since the Atari basketball....this might finally be the first one I actually refuse to buy.
