NBA Live 13 a $20 Digital Release This October?

[swaggedout]

Do they have demos for a digital download? I guess this puts to rest the debate of putting out an annual release. 2 years for a $20 download, really

Lets be real, 2K hasn't had any real competition in a pretty long time. It would be like if I raced against Usain Bolt. Sure, I'd be another guy in the race, but it's not like I really have any chance of winning. That's what it is like with Live. It's another product, but it's not like they have been truly competing with 2K.

I'm so anxious at this point for some basketball that if live showed up on the marketplace today I'd buy it. Our league has died out on 2k and we are waiting for rosters before starting CC in madden. Oct. 2 can't come soon enough

You can't be serious. Let me go hypothetical on you here:

Let's say downloadable content for consoles existed as it does today back in 1997-2001. Golden Eye 007 released for the standard $50 for regular retail. For reasons noted to include lack in quality, Rare decides to release the spiritual successor, Perfect Dark, for $16 as a downloadable title. When I buy this don't think I'm, or anybody else who's not satisfied, is just going to automatically say, "it's ok, this was only a third of the usual price". If something sucks and people have the desire to complain about it, they will, regardless of price. When people buy NBA Live 13 and they're not satisfied you better believe EA will hear about it.

Ok, I get your point but why is it that you picked something from my post to debate about instead of the whole thing. It's like picking a fight with two guys and you argue with the least important person(thing).
NBA LIVE 13 is going to be a glorified Demo.

Not sure how PS3 works, but all arcade titles on Xbox give you a trial.




EA isn't going to be able to catch up to 2k. They might as well scratch this whole project and use the resources for something else.

2k is the king of Basketball and it will be a while before they are dethroned.

I said this before, but I wouldn't be surprised if they released it as a 'Games on Demand' game to avoid having a demo. Not sure how it works on PS3, but I'm sure there is a similar system to GoD.

Since pretty much every single EA Sports title does a demo, I think trying to pass off Live without one would be a gigantic red flag. I don't think EA will do that.

I'm a little confused about all of the angst there is about EA's failure to deliver a basketball game. It doesn't seem like it has cost anyone their time or money. If anything, EA deserves a big thanks for letting gamers move on to enjoy other titles.

But it seems like there are a lot of people determined to waste as much time as they can ranting about a game they think will either fail to ship, or suck so badly if it does that they would never buy it.
