If that happened, then Madden would probably suffer the same fate as Live.

I see this as karma for monopolizing NFL license. Well done EA.

I just ask myself one simple question: Do the guys at EA actually know what they're doing? Seems like they keep heading into the wrong direction without knowing it until somebody wakes them up! It's more than just embarrassing or a bad joke - it's a shame. Can't believe we're talking about the biggest, wealthiest company in video game business...

seriously all the people who rag on 2k13 sucking, just look at this. This isnt like madden where there is a forced situation to produce just one product and you either buy it or miss out on football. 2k13, for whatever realism it lacks, is still the best game on the market, and its not because other companies arent trying...its because they are failing to meet the same level of gameplay that 2k is releasing....

in this statement EA pretty much says that, they had the graphics gonig, they definetly had the edge in online play...but they feel their gameplay is flawed compared to the competetiion...enough so that they dont even want to release their product for the initial discounted $20...

Elite was cancelled for pretty the same reason, it hyped its game, felt it had the graphics going, the online going, felt the gameplay was alright...then 2k11 released its demo near the same time elite did...and wham....elite's gameplay was eclipsed.

To me this is more of an indication to how well 2k13 truly has come out, as opposed to EA sucking. Im fairly sure EA tried, hell they had even tempered everyones expectations before hand. I, as well as many others were still considering to buy live just for the hell of it, so its not like ea wouldnt have made money. But i dont think its a coincidence that they announced their cancellation of live the week the 2k13 demo was released....

Like i said, this isnt like madden where you are forced to pay for a mediocre product because its the only one out there (2k12 i feel was that), 2k13 is exceptional enough that it was able to force live back to its rebuilding stage...and that is a huge compliment to its (2k13) development
