Whoa. Wait. Don't get this twisted. You don't know what is IN that $20. What modes are missing? You know there will be just based on the fact it's a download and those sizes are limited. You're NOT getting a $60 game. You're getting much less than that. Funny, though. I'm sure we would have been CHARGED $60 if this was the state of Madden. No choice.

But please forgive those for not wanting to pay into a beta test.

"Paying into a beta test" is just another example of blatant negativity and looking at a given situation as being bad, negative, not good, etc. $20 in my eyes, gets me a basketball game that I will no doubt enjoy, that perhaps has been "trimmed" in some areas I'll admit, but I'm not mad about that because the price is 1/3rd of what you would normally pay for a game. The only "beta test" aspect comes from the assumption that since EA is asking for feedback, they somehow feel their game sucks or they are asking you to pay for something that really is a beta test. I disagree with that line of thinking. I feel I will be getting a solid game for my money and not some "beta test". I have faith in EA to deliver. Of course, you'll probably rip me for having faith by saying "look at EA'S past! Look at this evidence that they did this, and look at this, and this!!", to which I'll just shrug it off because I look at it completely different than you. So let's just skip that part and just admit that we both look at the same situation 100% differently and it's completely opinion and open to interpretation. You seem to have been trying to push your opinion and the opinion of others as some sort of fact with some sort of factual basis to your argument, but your facts that you pull out are just interpretations and opinions of a situation that I see completely differently than you.

And about saying I will rip other games, or I'm not always positive, that's absolutely, 100% not true at all. If you look at some of my previous comments here on OS, let's say in the past year, you will see mostly positive viewpoints on subjects of which 95% of the people who posted had negative things to say about. I defended 2K12 to the max when everyone was saying the A.I. sucked and playing against the computer was lousy. I defended 2K12 hard. And all the while I remained positive while everyone else was looking at things negatively. And yes, it is 100% my personality to be even-minded and positive, or whatever you want to call it, I always try to look at the positive side of things. I wouldn't say I'm 100% always positive about everything, I'm definitely not, but I at least try to look at things without jumping to negative knee-jerk reactions or looking at the glass as half empty, etc. I at least try to be positive and see the big picture, which in my opinion, many people seem to miss because they go with their initial knee-jerk reaction without fully understanding what's going on.


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?

I don't know what you're saying here. I'm thrilled that there is competition. Just because Live 13 is selling for $20 doesn't mean it can't compete with 2K. I won't be supporting both games though. I will most likely not be purchasing 2K13 this year because frankly I'm tired of 2K gameplay. I may buy it when it drops to about half price, just to play a few buddies online, but I'm 100% supporting Live this year.

I doubt this. Being competitive notwithstanding, I bet most of them would just assume never see Live again.

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.
As long as EA is paying ESPN, I don't think ESPN cares. And that's the sad truth. Emotionally, I'm with you man. But life speaks a low truth - EA is willing to throw cash at ESPN even if they don't use the license to it's fullest. Look at how shallow EA has under-utilized and bastardized the ESPN look and feel. But ESPN is happy because EA has a money truck in Bristol.

I refuse to SMH until I hear something from EA, even then I won't know if I'll be shaking my head in disapproval or approval.

Haha, dude is hilarious. I also think that EA dev was talking out of his ***. Just kept feeding him with sweet sounding stuff. Can't believe how someone can lie like that. I'm seriously looking forward to Rondo or CP3 or any other PG putting their hands in the air and making signals to the their teammates according to this dev. Because it should be in there. Lol!!

First - I find nothing negative to call it a "beta test" because that's not an insult. When you look at it for what it is, it's a beta test. Pure and simple. And some people resent that. I find it amazing that they are supposed to have all this expertise brought in from an ex-Euro league player to this advisory counsel, yet they still need to do this? But, you know, ALL of this is speculation STILL. Because have NOT heard anything from EA officially.

But you prove my point - you're ready to jump on Live without even seeing the game. You've seen 2K13, nitpicked the hell out of it, and have committed to not support it. And that's COOL. That's your choice and if it makes you happy, it's the RIGHT choice. But, again, it just shows that your "Mr. Positive" act is limited to one game. Like I said - have fun with it.
