NBA Live 13 Has Been Canned

[Behindshadows]

You have to be kidding me....EA I officially hate you.....had my hopes up after a 2 year hiatus.....and you pull this..even a November release would have been better than nothing.

I have been making EA vs. 2k videos for the last few weeks, hoping to lead up to a 13 series comparison and now this crap....

Disappointment is a understatement of how I feel right now....sad, sad and sad!

Hate you so much right now it's not even funny...

Another year of just 1 title.......

First Sony disappeared and EA just gives up....

Exactly and 99% of OS and other forums feel the same way!

Who was the guy that said bad press is good press? I think this thread just blew up his thread......

I thought I was having a déjà-vu moment until I saw it said NBA Live & not NBA Elite. EA Sports should just keep quiet abut any basketball game until it's literally ready to hit the shelves. It's like watching an episode of The Office where you feel embarrassed for the character on screen. I actually find myself feeling embarrassed for EA.
The thing that really grinds with me is all that bull from Mr Wilson. Not wanting to release a game that wasn't ready for the fans! Come on guys, we damn well know this game would be on the shelves next week if it wasn't for a little game called NBA 2K13. This is exactly why we need competition when it comes to the big franchises.

dude if it were that easy to do, they would have done that by now. We dont know if the code engine has legal rights to them. Those filters might have been thrown out the window once live10 was done. Live10 engine might be limited to the point where it might not be able to upgrade. The growth of that engine cant really grow without its original crew members behind it.....it doesent make sense to have a completely different team work on a project they did not create

There's more to it than just a simple "why cant they build of 2k10".....

buisness is buisness at the end of the day

Hopefully, they come back strong. Competition in gaming is key.

2k has been in competition since 2k7 they've been competing against themselves. So they will have competition, just not against another company(if live is cancelled) Will the products suffer if live dies maybe, but 2k is not EA. 2k as a company has always gone towards the simulation audience, and I don't think that will change.

I'm worried because like Czar says 2k can just decide to hold back on resources and not give their full effort. I'm not saying 2k will be okay without competition because nobody knows until it actually happens.

But we can't assume they'll be like EA when they have the market to themselves. So all the competition talk doesn't make sense because most of the arguments are assumptions. How many of you guys were going to buy live just for competition sakes?

I think this is the best possible decision by ea. why rush the game this year only to receive negative feedback and probably lose money. I know a lot of people are saying that this is the en I ea basketball but I think it could be a blessing in disguise. The extra year in development might be enough to make this a competent game
