A little disappointed in the living worlds description. I thought it had more to do with the arena environment/atmosphere and not the content they are going to be delivering.

The only way I see EA stealing fans from 2k is getting the non-sim gamers. I had Live 10. It reminds me of the March Madness series. Live has had the ugliest player models. They look like they have a food disorder, just waaay too skinny. I know 2k isn't perfect but they look more like the real life counterparts. I mean just look at Lives Ricky Rubio. He looks like he has chicken legs.

I mean it's like people on here think that game has no flaws...Does Live stand a chance? lol what a joke last time I checked Live did just fine back when they were making games. Hey OS wipe yourself off, your bias is showing.

EA Sports' NBA sales of new games in the last three years: Zero.

You don't think that's cause for skepticism?

Hell, EA Sports has released a college basketball game more recently than they've released an NBA game! And that was three years ago!

I would "like" to see NBA Live succeed. I grew up on it with Lakers v Celtics and Trailblazers v Bulls way back in the day. Competition is always good as the Madden series has made me lose interest in f'ball gaming. And i still hve fond memories of Madden and Mutant league from EA. Sadly, i watched EA become a gaming giant and lose focus and commitment to quality games, only to focus on shortcuts to make $.

I'm skeptical up to this point. You would imagine (or at least I would) that by this time EA would have given up gameplay video and a lot more details than what they have produced thus far. I'll have it sent through gamefly, but I'm not expecting to like it. I'm not trying to hate or anything, and I would love for EA to give 2k some comp, but I just don't see it.

You and I are brothers.

A basketball game can have a chance but it would have to come from someone else besides EA. Live is just not a good franchise at all.

If they unleash a hella good online mode similar to the EASHL in the NHL series, it could knock 2K out. Crews mode is terrible.
