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?

First of all you don't know me enough to call me a believer or go into this EA rage. If you followed any of my post, I've been ripping EA a new a..hole over the past few months.

Secondly why don't you do your research before trying to go into this rant about Elite 11 and all that crap. Yeah I know about Jesus Bynum and I know how about that hideous video (So called Alpha video)

I also know about the EA Fanboy Hiphopgamer hyping this game up!!!!

My point of my previous post was for people who were saying they need to die and quit all together isn't fair to us. That was my point, because those same people wanted competition when 2k5 died, should want the same thing for Live as well.

I am not blind to how terrible this game is as far as we know that is, I'm also not stupid to the fact that it most likely won't even hold a candle to the competition.

But they should release something no matter what and start new next year and stop trying to build off Elite 11, that game is absolute trash and always will be.

So know your facts before trying to sound bandwagon anti-EA bashing me!!! Because I'm a gamer and I'm also a 2kbasketball gamer, I guess my avatar and signature wasn't that obvious!!!

But as a gamer, I've loved the Live series up to 10 and I don't want to see the series completely die because I like having options and differences between both titles...

Like I said they need to really come with something that makes this game stand out and I mean stand out in a positive light.............Because right now all the news and so far is 100% negative.

They had that chance at E3. I was at their private booth viewing. It was 100% apparent that they had scrubs on the development team. By scrubs, I mean people with no game development knowledge. The demo they showed was horrendous. They kept talking about new technologies in the game, but on-screen none of that was apparent. So after the viewing everyone was dumbstruck, like... are they serious? Are they delusional?

NBA Live is now an artifact in the history books. We can save time and energy and close this book up. I don't have to guess whether or not something positive will come out about NBA Live 13', I have already seen footage, I've seen the lack of community involvement, I've seen who the developers are and their knowledge base. I can safely come to the conclusion that there will be NOTHING positive about NBA Live 13'.

Mark my words.

Yeah all points are directing towards destruction. For 20 bucks if it's different from that video leak, I will add to my collection. If not, then I will pretend it was never released and focus else where.

It's been that way forever. I had a pre order on it months ago thru the store. My buddy who is the manager for GameStop where I live told me to take my $5 off of it 2 and a half weeks ago already. He said it wasn't coming out that's why it got a place holder date. His little joke was that EA was still working on that "lockout edition" from last year.

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....

GREAT point, b. Tons of biased hypocrites and/or EA haters on here because I have no doubt many of the posters on this site absolutely RAGED about lack if comp when it comes to the NFL vid games yet are getting their jollies off, snickering and wanting Live to died. Ppl do need to check themselves and like I've already said, all this rah -rah is most likely all for nothing
