No sign is better than a bad sign

and the 30 people ready to sign up to pay for what we've been doing for years for free already leads me to one of two things

They're just telling you that just to get you to DL and wont really care about your feedback regardless

Two they'll use that to suck you in the next go round

Anyway, I dont see why some guys passed up on NBA 09 but are willing to throw this game a bone.

Dude this isnt someone from some gamestop expo, this is one of their community guys who visits that place more than anyone you've heard from to this point

well dude like i said that comment was not clear on who the person was or where the heck he saw the game at. An again i rather see the game myself to judge...period don't care who the person is...am i wrong for wanting to see the game myself?

A lot of fifa head were excited too, when we first heard Euro2012 was going to be a DLC this year, than the game dropped......

Well im clearing it up for you so that you wont be confused because you referenced a place that I did NOT.

I understand you're hopeful and all of that, but I just decided to post in reagards to the person still beating the same pre alpha drum

You can see and judge for yourself all you want. When I posted E LIte footage some people still wanted to see it even though Boozer and Bynum were jumping from the FT line

I feel you and all of that, im not telling you to buy or not, I just know what I will or will not do.

i know you didn't mention man...it wasnt you cause this it was boilerbuzz.. i was responding to what he said to me and he refer to one of your quotes so all i am doing is explaining where i was coming from. Thanks for letting me know more about that quote that you did put tho. By the way i never said rather or not i was hopeful about anything ..i just said i wanted to see it myself, far as the elite thing go hey you did i was on here when you but again everybody got the right to want play the game themeselves so all well just how life is ya know..sometimes you right and then sometimes you wrong.. you win some u lose some...lol hey in EA case they better hope they dont lose anymore smh. N thanks for not telling what to do with my money

A good idea for EA? A good idea for gamers?

It's a great idea for EA. They will make a decent amount on this. A lot of people will shell out $20 just out of curiosity.

As for gamers -- well, we'll see. I'd rather put $60 towards NBA2k13 and really enjoy the game for a long time. But I bet a lot of people will buy both.

I don't know why people keep expecting EA to act in the best interests of gamers. THEY ACT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THEIR SHAREHOLDERS! Why is that so hard to comprehend? A lot of gamers act like they are "owed" by EA -- don't get me started on the entitlement mentality -- that's what's wrong with America. If you don't like the game, don't buy it. No where in the Constitution will you find a right to quality games.

EA should just take this game, put the players in college uniforms and call it March Madness. I'd buy it
