So frankly, Live deserves its flack until it actually produces a solid next-gen product that fits the moniker in both look and play. Anyway, I do agree that Live makes progress if they can keep what works, rework what doesn't, and improve everything in subsequent years-- even if the game's mostly bad. I just think it's ridiculous to recommend others to fund EA to do so through a full-priced purchase when they've shown no willingness or ability to commit to any long term plan in the last decade.

What hype..?

Look at that clips in the Live 14 trailer when Nash curls around the pick.. see how slow he's moving.. now go watch some Live 07 movement clips... notice any similarities? Was like controlling senior citizen version of the players.. Yep same Brent Neilsen...

Ok. If your truly EX- EA, what does it take to make a viable game? Good graphics, gameplay, etc. Or what would it take to convince the Backbreaker team to come back to consoles?
