Mack - chill with that. You're basically trolling at this point.

This is how EA works. They got rid of me for not support their product(Fight Night) and expressing my dislikes. I was a respected forum member and Senior Mod there.

Eh you have the tow the company line in any job you are at. Going public with frustrations is always going to end up without a job...

All these haters of EA and their basketball games, I think you guys should make your own game cause apparently you are way better at it.

You know Mods don't get paid,right? Consumers or potential buys have a right to complain, especially when it seems like the company is going backwards, way back! They had a clear foundation with NBA LIVE 2010, but EA love affair with arcadey gameplay threw them into the realm of Elite and what we have saw.

I dont get why people say that select gamers "hate" Live. Its not even about hate. People are confusing hate for critique of things that have been put on wishlist for years, and still havent been improved upon or never even asked for.
I cant recall one wishlist where I saw anyone ask for new controls(from Live 10). Most were asking for more animations and transition animations so that things looked smoother and more within the limitations of what is humanly possible. Lives biggest problem (Madden too) is animations, run animations. In both Madden and Live, Madden 13 run cycles look like someone running with a broken ankle on 1 foot. You can see the 'pop' when the animation loops the run cycle. Also its too slow of a run, for the distance the loop covers, so in the end the player looks like hes jogging, but covering ground at a sprint pace.

In Live 13/Elite 11, there are run cycles where its too slow like light jogging. It looks odd in comparision to some of the other run cycles in the so called alpha vid.

To get on topic, I think for that this is the safest route for EA to go as far as putting the game out. Being as there hasnt been current updates on whats going on, and that PSN/Msoft certs take like 1-2 weeks there isnt enough time to really print disc, so digital would be the better of the 2. Now sales wise, thats a mystery.
Im def interested in the demo, to see what if any changes from the vid occured, how it plays and animates, etc.
