Haha I didn't get most of that either but this: "Could you imagine if EA got the basketball license we would be playing Live 13" Sends shivers down my back. I thank the gaming gods that this never happened. And I still believe in my honest opinion that if TakeTwo had bought the rights instead of EA we wouldn't have as bad a game as Madden is today. I know it's hypothetical but I practically consider this a fact.
And I wish some people would quit with all this fanboy this and fanboy that noise, it seems to me most of the posters here on OS aren't loyal to any one company, they just know a great product when they see/play it. Why do you think most people in the forum constantly brings up "The Show" "NBA2K11" "FIFA" "NHL" whenever the topic is about quality. There's no fanboyism here, just the fact that EA makes bad NFL games and for the last 3 years their NBA offering has been vaporware.

I miss 2k football too, but damn get over it already, nothing is going to change unless Roger G. and the NFL changes it. And to bring it up every damn time a EA issue happens is getting old and tiring. We are talking in a NBA Live forum and Madden and the damn NFL thing comes up over and over again to try to back lash the developers and the company as a whole. Tiburon makes the football and just recently got the NBA, the series was having issues way before it even got into their hands. Enough is enough, let's focus on NBA issues and not NFL (7 years ago - **** we can't change crap)

I got your points... the one i pointed out was wrong. carry on.

I was explaining that why are people defending EA if they obviously don't care I seen Mike Wang,LD2k and others on here where was EA?Hiding because they know they been beat.Not hating on EA but its sad how you go from Live 10 which alot of people are saying is there best work or Live 2005 and you can't even put out a game now?I understand alot of work goes into making the game but don't have people go pre-order(which was stupid)bring out a trailer,bootflow all that just to say nope we not dropping it again.Tired of EA crap.And I was also saying if EA bought the NBA license they would've probably put that garbage out and we would've had to suck it up like we been doing with Madden did I explain myself perfect this time?

I really don't think I'm mad at this happening anymore. The 2K13 demo is sucking the life out of me!!!! I'm damn scared of getting the full game. I've NEVER played a sports game so constantly as I have with this 2K13 demo. N-E-V-E-R! My prayers have been answered with 2K13 and all the goodness that EA was alluding to with Live 10 and, even, Elite 11, with it's controls potential, is no longer needed.

Live 14 is going to have to marry what Elite 11 was trying to do with the controls with great and varied animation tech, at the very least, imo. Live 10, while great in it's own right, had too many scripted animation sets and was nowhere near organic enough. Too easy to figure out how to get fouls called when on offense and no way to play true defense in or near the paint without getting sucked into an animation sequence which, many a time, would lead to a foul being called on u. Turrble.


As for ppl talking all that karma stuff regarding the NFL license and all that, gtfoh. That's so far reaching - Plastic Man. The whole NFL license deal is murky, anyway. There are 2 stories regarding that - EA was lobbying for an exclusive license for years and the NFL actually made the exclusive license decision, on their own. Who REALLY knows which one it was but, please, leave that non-sense out of this not to mention, DO YOU do all the right things in life and has "karma" gotten u back in ways u don't even know or understand?? Just stop it with that. That's just life. Good and bad all over the place.

That said, while I do look forward to seeing what EA does with Live 14 because I DID love those controls from Elite 11, which made the demo fun for me, 2K14 will have the kung-fu grip on me, in most likely hood, especially hearing that the new dribble controls in 2K13 are basically "phase one" of what's to come in 2K14.

2k just do what they must to do, developing games. EA is just trying fooling gamers all the time! Next big fail will goes from Konami side, because right now Konami working hard on gameplay, trying to create authentic football with team's and player's individuality. Fifa is already on the wrong path,they have already gone a long way and they will not have time to change something quickly. Get ready boys and girls for another epic failure. I can see the headlines - Fifa has been canned! ) I'm not an EA *****, I just want him to do right authentic thing and for this, they need to feel a failure.

It's Elite all over again, insisting that the game will release on time, delaying the release, insisting it will release eventually and finally cancelling the release all together. Hopefully they scrap the WHOLE Elite engine and work off of what they had with Live 10. They went from sugar to sh*t in one cycle. Next year will be a put up or shut up yea,r as they will have had 4 years from the release of Live 10 to Live 14(Oct. '09-Oct. '13) to put out a passable product.

I'm still not giving up on the Live franchise yet, I'll probably be the only one but I'll stand alone proudly.

You're right about this. Get over it. As long as folks are willing to keep buying Madden, then just let it go.
