NBA Live 13 Has Been Canned

[deacon21206]

All the articled need to say was " 2K13 demo Dropped and we realized that we had no chance so we cancelled this years game " that's what really happened.

The real crime here is that they hold ESPN's rights and they haven't managed to put out a game in years.

Not surprised one bit. Atleast now there wont be anymore false hope spreading around.

They should relinquish their ESPN rights, they clearly don't deserve them.

And how you forget 2K went exclusive on the 360 for baseball games and that game was utter trash and is now finished. I love 2K just as much as the next person but im really disappointed to hear this news.

I'm laughing because its "chickens coming home to roost" with EA. Since Live 06, they got away with selling a subpar game (with the exception of 10) and sold a ton of games until consumers had enough and bought the other game. EA's failure doesnt stop another company from potentially creating a game to compete with 2k and it doesnt stop EA from trying to create a game that will compete with 2k.

I find it funny watching a billion dollar corporation **** the bed the past 3 yrs.

This is sad.

However, I was worried about this game several months ago when the developers talked about how they had spent all that time going through Elite's coding and were still operating under a 1-year development cycle.

As a sports gamer I want multiple choices for every sport I play but going forward, it really doesn't look like that is going to happen. It's either play Game A or nothing.

I was going to say something along those lines.

He(wang) is not 2k, but in a way, dude sorta is...2k9 and 2k10 weren't horrible but they weren't 2k games...ya know? They didn't feel authentic as 11-13 do.
