HAHAHA! good comment! for me is not a 20 dollars, not even 10 dollars. Hell! Indie games looks better than this. Gameplay Live 13 - Double Dribble got better gameplay.

You're not some "positive" guy by default. You're QUICK to look at the worst of any other game EXCEPT this one. Don't try to paint yourself as some even minded saint please. The ship that supplied you any benefit of the doubt has long sailed. Just be happy that you can geek out to your favorite game and call it a day. Enjoy. But please forgive those for not wanting to pay into a beta test.

PS: what ever happened to the "I'm want there to be competition. I'll support both games for competition's sake."? That seemed to have just jumped out of the window, huh?

Where is this? Where did he say that?

Under what grounds? ESPN has the right to sell their IP to anyone. It's not as if ESPN is the end-all/be-all for NBA broadcasts. As a matter of fact, I prefer the TNT presentation frankly. ESPN may be familiar, but that doesn't make it good, let alone the best.

IMO of course.

Maybe ESPN can release themselves via breach of contract.

I agree with you on TNT though. I just want EA to cut loose their ties since they're not living up to their end of the bargain by releasing games that aren't complete.

They didn't have much content to talk about which made me think it was going to be a basic game maybe a quick play mode, season mode, (maybe) a franchise mode, and a playoff mode. 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.

You see; now THIS is a positive poster comment I can support. Not the over the top, blind cheerleader mess that comes from SOME posters. I agree - if it was $60, folks would have rightfully blown a gasket. Some people suggested that this is what they should have done for Elite.

Now I just wonder - knowing they are doing this only because the quality isn't competitive (there no comparison to the NFL 2K5 deal - that was a FULL featured, quality AAA title), will a bad game hurt them MORE now? If people PAY for something their total unhappy with, they will lose those people for good. Trust me on that.

Last thing - I think that leaked footage was a PartnerNet download and that though it may have been an, - let's just call it an "early" build instead of this "pre-alpha" talk - it pretty indicative of what the game will be. If they clean a LOT, it will still be very similar to the video. But we won't know for sure if that will be the case.

For now, I plan on checking it out as long as I know it's worth checking out. So, with that being the case, with this info out, NOW is the time for EA to start showing the game. It's too close to release. The game should be done now.
