Where are people getting that EA "CAN" use or "DOES" have the rights to Live 10 codes?.............lol

We know nothing. All we can do is speculate and assume. We will never know what happened with the nba live10 specs to the game. Maybe there was a under the table agreement to all parties that once were done, were done.

buisness runs deep. Very very deep.....its never a simple answer, because we will never HAVE all the answers...period

Man, if I'm an eas employee, I'm livid right now!

If your one of the EA Sports employees who worked on Live you shouldn't be livid. You should be embarrassed with what you produced and worried about getting canned along with the game.

Why? The reason it's cancelled is because THEY didn't get the job done. Do you think they would want to put a product only for it to fail? If anything, they are either breathing a sigh of relief OR worried about keeping their jobs...

Make that more like 5 million, and no one denies soccer dwarfs every other sport. There's no argument there. But 2-3 million is a far cry from 4-5 million. That's all I was saying.

When you have more than 70 plus members working on an annual project, it isn't going to be a great project. They chose to hire more hands instead of an intimate small team. Not the employee's fault, just the employer and maybe the person who oversees the whole entire project, which I think should be fired.

Lol. Every single thing they have done and shown over the past few months pointed towards this happening, and any time any of us brought up the obvious, we were called 2K fanboys or Live haters.

No, our nostrils simply work and we could smell this disaster for what it is; a pile of crap.

It's a sad day for basketball fans, and another blow to this generation of option-less sports genres. That said, the sugar-coating and self-convincing that was going on wasn't any better. This was a clear catastrophe from the beginning.
