NBA Live 13 Trailer Arrives, But the Game is Delayed Indefinitely

[jWILL253]

This has got to be the biggest video game debacle since the Mass Effect 3 Ending Incident. It might be bigger than that.

There is no excuse why this game isn't up to par with games in other genres, let alone its competition in 2K Sports. They had 2-3 years to make this game playable, and only spent ONE YEAR developing the game. And, they have the balls to say "it was challenging" as an excuse???

If I'm the head at EA Games, I'm nuking that entire basketball department for good. Usually I don't think that drastically, but there is no excuse for this. EA has successfully ran a profitable series into the ground, first by overreacting to poor sales, second by being damn lazy and cheap. EA makes billions every single year. You telling me they can't put together a decent basketball game?

EA, you had me at Madden 13, and lost me again at this. I have no faith in you anymore...

I think it was the successor of NBA Shootout. I don't know if it had anything to do with 989 Sports, but if it did, they had been around for more than a decade at that time.

Nothing left to say.

If they spend "100 hours" on every single part of the game (most importantly gameplay) then in my opinion they can rival 2k. But whats the chances of that? It would take another three years. IMO 2k and live should just join forces. We're used to only getting one game a year now anyways. Can you imagine a game with 2k's gameplay, 2k's animations, 2k's game modes, Lives accessories, Lives and 2ks shoes, Lives presentation, AND Lives presentaion!?!??!?!?

100 plus hours, you mean a 100 plus 100 days

There is no fluidity to the animations. This game looks like absolute crap. Surprised EA even released this trailer with the possibility of the game not even being released..

how about EA show us some gameplay period, anybody can take a couple of highlights and make a trailer appealing, but this trailer wasnt the case, EA trying hard to hide the jerky, lag issue, but its still apparent in the trailer, animations still stiff, looks just like the video that was leaked a month back, pre-alpha my a**!!!!!!!!!! They still afraid to release gameplay footage cause we all know its still going to look and play like the leaked that was revealed!

I cant stop laughing , this game is a joke. NBA 2K wont have "REAL" competition for a long time.

It really dont matter if the graphics are half decent, when the mechanics are so far off its not even funny. Look at how they run up court,shoot, lay the ball up, dunk the ball, pass, block shot. (I could go on)

This is seriously a game for kids in their early childhood to enjoy, because if you actually watch/play basketball this isn't playable for casual or definitely sim players.

I actually feel sad for you guys out there that are actually Live fans and not trolls.
