OS Roundtable: NBA Live's Digital Release a Good Idea?

[bounty_this]

For me, i look at the "pre alpha" build of nba Live 13 and compare it to NBA 2k13. It absolutely disgusts me to think about how good NFL 2k13 would look and play in comparison to Madden. EA and Tiburon develop garbage aimed towards teenage gamers who dont care for realism. I hope Live sucks b*lls and dies just to ensure that EA will NEVER get a hold of a monopolized NBA license.

Disappointed that EA is going in this direction. You hyped it up six months ago and now we get a lame DDL version. Where's the passion, the creativity? But hey, from what I've seen from 2K13 so far, looks damn impressive.

I Loved NBA Live 10 that was a great step in the right direction. They should've built upon Live 10

I was in Gamestop today to talk to my homie that works there, I looked through their Video Game release date book and it has 'NBA Live '13" coming out in January for $59.99!! Dont know how accurate that is tho!!

I like all the negativity over this game and I won't say it's not deserving. Because I agree with a few others, that EA got it right with Live 10. Only to let someone with a great vision and effort slip away from their hands. (M. Wang)

But for guys to say things as in give up and R.I.P Live series, is just crucial.

Now let me show you how what you say is hypocritical:

1. When EA bought the NFL license you ripped them about not having competition and said they would get better if they had it. M13 Proved that wrong, they got better with efforts and time.

2. When EA bought the NCAA License, you said it would get better with competition. NCAA Series overall proved everyone wrong, because 2k's NCAA Football outing was bad and really bad.

3. When 2k bought the MLB License you said it would be better because VC was running the project. (Wrong and Triple wrong) When Kush had them they were great (MLB 2k7) MVP was dead and still modded on PC, and MLB The Show wiped the floor with MLB 2k series. (The MLB 2005 Japanese Baseball game looks amazing)

4. Now you saying that Live should die, yet if anything they should be competitive, release something for crying out loud. But more than enough, release a demo first.

No Demo and a lot of people will pass on that fact, because they are 33 days away from releasing it and so far we have yet to get a final build or even a final beta build.

I don't want Live series to just completely go away, I want it too improve and get back to Live 10 status with a overdose of steroids and HGH!!!! Get it done...

Competition is good, but if one product is crap and the other is rice pudding...(Bad and nasty analogy) then it doesn't deserve to be left without criticism.

Live 13 better come with it and I mean come with it....

Dude, come with what? I mean seriously. Can you please just look at the evidence before you, and use that as your determining factor. Not your hopes and dreams, we all have those, but hard evidence.

Despite the great critical reception of Live 10', the producers decided to change the name and foundation in 11'. What happened? Not enough time, bad and sloppy code, epic failure. Now, after two development cycles have passed, we are left with the remnants of....well nothing, it's just the Live 10' code butchered. Kind of like Elite 11' was.

Here's my question to believers like you, what are you holding onto? The corporation has given up on this product, why haven't you?
