EA is just trying to avoid the embarrassment of cancelling back to back basketball titles and doing irreparable damage to their relationship with the NBA. Will the game be quality? There is a very, very slim chance. However they aren't doing what they're doing for the reasons 2K did what it did.

Oh I know that EA has a very different set of reasons for their decision to price the game at $20. I just find the assumption "A $20 price point is waving the white flag" a bit silly. This is EA trying to make the best of a horrible situation from what I can tell. It doesn't necessarily mean they're giving up with this franchise.

What's even funnier is their official response,
Update: An EA Sports spokesman said the label does not comment on rumor or speculation.

im sorry but by now EA should know wat is wrong with thier game........and alot of it has to do with player movement ...its been known for years that players move way to jerky and akward..theres no fluidity in any live since the new gen started ...and the game doesnt know if it wants to be arcade or sim...i dont know but those were my biggest problems with live

Seeing this and the leak video of live 13 -_- no contest, NBA 2k13 is the winner and a buy lol

I actually respect them for doing this. Obviously they are not up to par with 2K, everyone knows it. So they want to get a basketball game on the market anyway, so the digital download for 1/3 of the cost, instead of pushing out an inferior product shows some sense.

Now if this doesn't work, please make MVP baseball.

Please don't take this as a defense of EA, which I believe many of u will try to translate this as, but WHERE is this 'They had 3 years..' stuff coming from???? Mathematics takes that back to 09, before Live 10 even came out, to this point...
