NBA Live 13 a $20 Digital Release This October?

[NikeBlitz]

Xbox live Arcade size limit is 2go. Not sure how they will deal with it.

They do put out trials for XBA games, so you can try it out for free.

The 2GB might be surpassed since it's EA and Microsoft and Sony will likely allow more leniency to an established developer. If it's under 2 GB than that is a issue. Probably wasn't going to buy it anyways but I'll definitely try it out anyways.

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

Would have preferred $15 but this is fine, I think it's its a good move . Now if they 4actually fix it by release it could be a sleeper hit like NFL2K5 was....what...I can have hope can't I? Yea but still getting that 2K13 regardless....just sayin....

To be honest I think this is a smart move by EA having a 20$ price I'm guessing EA is doing this as a way to make up for the fans for canceling Elite 11 and then skipping a year as well. And for just 20$ I wouldnt mind buying the game as long as EA fixed the issues we saw in the leaked footage then I'll buy it.

I've paid $20 for an arcade title, Perfect Dark. If they would have released this game full price on disk people would be complaining that they should have charged only $20 because that's all it's worth. People will never be happy with EA no matter what they do. Be happy we get a complete BB game for this price. If you don't like it don't buy it. Play 2K and move on. At least it's another option.

Digital only $20 price tag will let them CYA, and you can already see it in the article.

EA guys will come out and say they didnt invest any more time in the game as they left it in developmental stage to gather feedback

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.

I totally agree. There were many posters (mods included) who said the game would NEVER come out and they would criticise posters who hoped the game would! People act like they do not care about this title, yet I see them posting in this forum daily. For $20.00 I will check out this title. They way I look at it, it's another basketball title, and you know people are always clamouring for competition in sport titles.

If gamers do not like Live, they have another basketball title to choose from. That being said they will be in here posting negative things about the game.
