Like I said, they'll be back here. Don't be suprised if they still read here. That page has been up for 3 days and only has 2 pages.Just look how many pages this topic has since since 29th til now. as a community, OS has more feedback than nlsc to offer

OS is like the litmus test for feedback

If OS community hates it, its a pretty much it won't be critically received.

If they love it, its in contention for GOTY

I'm here. New development team. Nothing will fall on deaf ears. I played ball at a high level so criticism is the least of my worries.

I personally read OS. I think their opinions are heard loud and clear. I've read almost every single post in every recent live thread good and bad.

They say they're here and that they're listening. They need to ask questions and respond on here like they do on the EA/Live forum.

I still feel the word canned is derogatory and a take that rather than informative. Find me another major gaming forum/website that allows articles to be posted like that or millisecond clips of pierces face in a bad animation to represent the failures of the entire game and justification for the hate. Like I said if you do care go post and speak your mind.

The 2k forums.

But I hear what you're saying. The problem is that too many people have lost trust in EA to listen to them. See Madden.

In fact, there are several EA employees that have posted here in this very thread already. NBA Live was cancelled quite some time ago, not recently. Anyone listen to the earnings call on July 31st? Did you hear any mention of NBA Live with all the other titles mentioned? Anyone attend the stockholders meeting on July 26th? Any mention of NBA Live there either? You think this Advisory Council is anything more than a glorified field trip? Any idea of how exciting it is working on a title that you know before hand will not ship? Any idea of how exciting it is coming to pretty much anywhere on the internet getting shredded for a title that you had no input on, and just did what you were told? Any idea how easy it was to pull a group of over 60+ together, many that never worked on a basketball title before and have no interest in basketball either, together to form a cohesive unit where everyone has different ideas and how to implement them? Any idea how cool it is to work nonstop for weeks on a feature that you know will get yanked at a moments notice? Any idea how fun it is to work with 4 different bosses wanting to go 4 seperate directions on content / features ? Any idea how fun it is not knowing if when you go to work the next day that you no longer have a job after relocating to the area, only to get pulled to work on a project that wont see the light of day, and knowing that it will forever be etched on your resume. Thank you all and have a wonderful evening.

I'd like to know who you are and where did you get your info

We have a winner! Best post in the thread. Folks need to remember that there are real people behind these games. The team has my respect. The suits, however, do not. You are spot on about the financial reports. Doesn't show much support. If they weren't going to release and knew it then, why wait so late to tell anyone. That's stringing fans along.

You don't think some of us know this already?

You don't think some of us have taken our own time away from our families to help mold a game that will financially benefit the developers and their families, not us?

You don't think we have offered direct feedback to developers for years to only be ignored?

You don't think we have done this circular trail of events for years only to be met with disappointment year after year?

You don't think we are STILL here wondering why it's this difficult to work with individuals that want to succeed and we want them to help shape a game that WE want to play?

We obviously have the means to open up a pathway of communication here - why can't it be this easy when I fly over 1,000 miles to actually offer help, only to be ignored later on?

This is the norm for some reason at EA. Some of us can empathize and sympathize more than you give us credit for.

I miss the guys that really listened. It's a shame Brian Ulrich left. The game was headed in a positive direction back then, albeit very slowly.

I agree, when I'm defend EA I'm defending the designers of EA..
