NBA Live 13 a $20 Digital Release This October?

[Sirlonius]

So if a new video comes out and its better than the old one is it then ok to purchase this game 23? The fact that a game is coming out should be good enough and satisfy the competition argument. No one is forcing you to buy it and when the game does come out you will actually have to purchase it or I dont want to hear one word about a review of it if you haven't played it.

Like I said I've got MS points I can waste on this when it comes out, IF it comes out at all.

If I can't find anything that I like on XBL or there isn't some DLC I want, I'll get it. If one of my friends gets it, I'll see if they'll license share it with me and keep my MS points.

I rather have a $20 ripoff than a $60 ripoff. I think it was a decent move, cash in what you can get. Honestly, there should be a "Suggestions" option where people just write in from XBL or PSN on "How To Make The Game Better"

The competition between these two brands, at this time, is like the New York Yankees vs the Tennessee LLWS team.

They already know what would make their game better, they just don't want to spend the $ on a completely new engine since the one they're using is trash.

The only difference is, ESPN NFL 2k5 came out for $19.99 when a new retail games cost $49.99. Live 13 is coming out for 19.99 when a new retail games cost $59.99.

So this is actually a better deal than ESPN NFL 2k5. 2k you were getting for 40% of the original price and Live your getting for a third or 33% of the original price.

Can we really complain? Especially when you don't "have" to buy the game.

but I do think there is some level of ignorance involved when you view a confirmed PRE-ALPHA footage (or early build, or NOT. FINISHED. GAME., whatever) and say something like "OMG THIS SUX NO WAY IS EA GETTING MY MONEY LOLZ LOOZERS"

Goes both ways, don't you think?

You're basing your entire opinion on footage that wasn't even meant to be shown.It's old and does not represent the final build of the game in any way, shape or form. Yet you're not going to buy a video game based on THAT? That's just crazy to me. Stupid really.

So you're saying that because "it wasn't meant to be shown", people should just disregard it and not make any comments on it until the footage that THEY release becomes available? If we were to do this, then "Sleeping Dogs" would be a disaster and wouldn't be nowhere as great a game as it is now, especially compared to what it was originally going to be.

Sure it may not represent the "final build" but the stuff that you do see will most likely be in the game in some form. Unless you believe(which I'm sure you probably do since EA does no wrong)that they'll completely start from scratch and what was seen in that footage won't be in the actual game at all.

Quote:

At least wait until you see a recent build of the game before basing your entire purchase on it.

How recent do folks need to wait before forming an opinion on it? The day before it comes out? Not to mention, not everyone is going to give EA the benefit of the doubt(like you are) on this especially with how many people were disappointed with their last 2 Bball releases and some for good reason.

That's just crazy to me. Stupid really.

One could say the samething about your reasoning for not paying full price for the "other game", especially since you basically said you're buying Live mainly because it's something different and that you're tired of 2K.
