NBA Live 13 Has Been Canned

[jreezy18]

I can't say I'm surprised at this news. It is unfortunate. Even if EA Sports can put out an NBA Live game next year I have a hard time believing they'll recover from this. Besides the waste in development costs over the past few years the name of the NBA Live brand continues to be damaged with news like this.

let me rephrase what Andrew Wilson actually said:

" We here at EA Sports played the demo for NBA 2K13.... and boy that **** was awesommmmmmmme!!! Screw Live, we're gonna be too busy playing this 2K13 and so should you. AndWiL187 on XBOX Live and on PSN... see you guys online 10/2/12!!!!

I'm glad to hear this. The game simply isn't ready and instead of putting out garbage, they've decided to continue working.

With that being said, call some legit people in NOW instead of in June when it's too late in the dev cycle. Just a thought?

EA, call me maybe? lol

I believe there was some truth to this.
They waited till the 2k demo to release then theyd ecided to cancel. Prior to that it was suppose to be a DLC, a stripped down version. so if they canned this they must have really thought that they couldnt even compete even if they released a twenty dollar DLC!!!.

Im not an NBA LIVE fan but it would have still been nice to see 2 games on the market

I guess you can put me on the 2k side since i really like the game but i understand the need for competition and would of appreciated a live game out there.....but like someone else said in this thread i believe that the graphics currently can compete they can be tweaked a bit but the graphics are solid.....If they spend the rest of the time working on the gameplay and getting the robotic animations out then they could have something.....but you never know....they had like what 2 almost 3 years to bring something to the table but couldn't so i guess time will tell......

Freestyle!

It's time you threw in the towel
Your team is starting to drown
My fists are pounding the ground
I'm just trying to say

Live 10 was golden
That's where you do your molden'
Instead you started foldin
Where you think you're goin lately?
