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

Faces are real, WOW, but 2K has the real moves, even the presentation in Live is so good, the glassy logos, but with the game play video that they released defently put me off, I'll not get it even if it was free.

First thing I noticed was the huge heads and narrow bodies wtf

This honestly hurt me when I watched it. As a former Live fan its pretty sad to see what has come of this franchise.

I compare my current feelings to the Donovan McNabb 'ending'. I grew up rooting and loving the guy despite the flaws. Eventually I understood that he wasn't getting the job done and had to move onto something better. Even though I moved on I'd still take a peek to see what he was doing, hoping for the best. Then all of a sudden all of his flaws are harped on, he's told that he's straight garbage and he's out of the game.

This Live video gives me the same 'punch in the stomach' feeling watching #5 fade.

Star Wars analogy

Empire Strikes Back

EA buys the exclusive license for the NFL, knocking out its competitors from making a rival game that would prove superior to their product. NFL 2K5 would be the last in the series of a striving football video game that improved every year.

Return of the Jedi

EA Sports fails to secure the exclusive licensing with the NBA, and is now forced to take on 2K Sports in the NBA video game market. Five years after EA killed 2K Football, 2K Basketball takes over the NBA video game market with brute force, eventually leading to the destruction of NBA Live.

(big Star Wars fan ... perfect opportunity!)

I have to laugh at the current state of Live because they keep saying they welcome feedback and they are taking suggestions, but if they had asked any of their fans prior to the development of Elite they would everyone would have said that Live 10 was the best game they had made in a long time and to develop off of that.

When I first saw that face, I was just taken aback. I was like: "Huh???". Now it's "Wow!" I think it deserves to be memed...

Another thing about that Pierce shot. Look at how skinny he is compared to some of the other models like the ridiculous CP3 one. It looks like they got the 2 models mixed up or something.

Since NBA Live 13 is delayed it should give the devs more time to add more polish to the game.
