While I believe they are losing more and more ground to 2k it's a smart idea to keep you thinking about Live. As far as all the negative comments, while you are completely entitled to your opinion realize this if they would have dropped the same game for $60 you would have blew your tops and said "I don't see paying $60 for this crap!" And we would have had to hear this for two months after the release. At the least they are trying to stay relevant. I honestly want to see what the game has to offer before I throw them under the bus.

They're not trying to stay relevant, they're trying to keep the NBA's boot out of they're *** by avoiding another cancel. If Elite hadn't gotten cancelled already, I'd bet money that this title would get scrapped this year.

Sounds good to me! I get the game so many people said would never be released at a cheap price and with still time to improve from whenever that vid was made...They will build off this one with the fan feedback and come out with a full title next year. Atleast this one will have the live gameplay I like and functional online.

You guys get the competition you have been crying about and the chance to keep writing negative stuff about live! Win win

Still time to improve? LOL. They will build off this one with the fan feedback? Yeah, cause they've been doing such a bang up job with implementing what the fans want all these YEARS. Yeah, that's plural. Years.

EA would have saved a bit more face had this decision been made on the announcement of the game. However this decision has been made purely & simply because the game is not good enough. No way could EA cancel another basketball game but by selling it at a reduced price the inevitable criticism will at least be dampened slightly.

So basically $20 for a beta. All this information coming out and we still can't get any kind of confirmation directly from these guys?

[Sirlonius]

Yes still time to improve....Has 2k stopped working on their game too with more than month to go?

Bottom line there is a live game coming out. Don't buy it if you dont like it.

There is no competition in the NBA genre open your eyes its like u purposely try to be different for fun when you know you are buying 2k13 LOL. Live hiding all info but the sheep got their credit cards ready

LOL at Live/Elite EVER being competition for 2K, especially not in the foreseeable future with Live 13/Elite 1.5, especially not with the next generation of consoles right around the corner. Maybe they'll be competitive on the next gen, but I doubt it, they said they same thing about this gen. Fool me once shame on you, fool me 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times I'm a dumb MF'er.
