OS Roundtable: Does Live Stand a Chance?

[GisherJohn24]

It doesn't have a chance to dethrone 2K, but it does have a chance to be fun. And that's what people should look for, not for it to beat 2K.

There is more coming this week and the weeks to follow. How is that scary?

You have no clue what you're talking about do you? Focusing on animations? Wha? Do you even know what animations are? If history tells all then I guess we won't be seeing Live 14 at all now will we? Ooops.

I was going to respond to his post, but decided to let him to continue looking foolish. he doesn't know the difference between animations & visual/graphical upgrades. either way his points are mixed up.

I remember posting something similar to this last year around the same time. All threads referring to NBA Elite and NBA Live 13 should be required reading. Roll 'em out 23!
Until a title is delivered on time, NBA LIVE as a series is irrelevant. They have done nothing to gain any potential consumers favor or trust in the last 3 and a half years.

Strongly beginning to think if LIVE doesn't sell 2.5-3 million units with the NG title (wont happen) they'll be done with the NBA.

I'm sure it's not a good thing when your new head of operations doesn't mention you when speaking of the companies major sports titles.

EA's promo info videos are worthless until we actually see the game. It's the same sort of hype they released for... wait for it... Elite 11.

If history really tells all, then EA's lying through their teeth again and the game won't be released. But in all seriousness, if we are to trust EA's history and realities we know about their development situation, it'll probably be a bad to mediocre game with some interesting pieces of tech at the very best.

Anyway, you can't cite history and not have it cut both ways. And it doesn't cut well for EA and Live at all.

Yea, history is not something to bring up if you're trying to defend EA...Not sure where he was going with that.

I'm hoping being built from the ground up for 2+ years, Live will just be fun again.

Obviously not. People are gonna buy the proven product, not the game from a series that hasn't even been good enough to see the light of day since 2009.
