NBA Live 13 Has Been Canned

I hope I don't get banned for saying this but EA I feel like this is for taking the NFL license. Only good will come to you when you stop being greedy and let 2K be able to make a football game.

You can't really miss something that you never had

Theres no way in hell anyone could justify to me why they would pay more than 5 bucks for an NBA Live game after what 2k has put out for the last 3 years. All wishful thinking about hypothetical stuff and overlooking the other terrible aspects of a game, while 2k just sits on the throne. You know, sorta how it used to be back in the day with Live.

This is too bad for EA Sports...

They must be just shaking their heads in frustration...I would cut them some slack but this is the 2nd time in a couple years they have cancelled a release...business-wise, NOT a smart decision IMO, because they seem to be wasting $$ on something they knew was flawed/broken.

First, they were going to release it mid-way through the season.
Secondly, they were going to make it a "digital download" for well-under the competition price.
Now, they cancel another NBA title.

EA knows how far & above 2K has grown since 2K10 and they're only getting better...competition is what drives games to be better every year. If there's no competition, we're going to have another Madden-case....and we all know how that's going. Heck, we still have people playing NFL2K, because of no competition.

They should have at least given it a shot...

The ol' "start working for next year" statement is bogus...very, very disappointing EA.

Amen. Totally on board with them making a college game again, especially if it has the production value that 10 had...

NBA is to EA what MLB is to 2K.

I hope the NFL sees this and doesnt renew its license with EA. 2k should dominate that also if given a chance
