It does not matter if these developers had only one year to work on this game. They did not expect Live to get all this attention whether good or bad because they attempted to hide the game-play trying to give people a hint. If the suits will not give the team a solid budget for this game game going forward, then they are wasting their time.

Truth is though, I think I read they only had a full year of development time. They obvioulsy cannot do anything special. 2K's opening screen suggested they did 156,000 man hours (I think that's right) for next gen development alone. EA must have done 48 hours in comparison... A fair comparison.

Thats some serious selective reading. I figured the average Joe could tell what basketball game to get by the post counts in the forums, screenshots, trailers, videos, reviews, and testimony. Or Maybe Not

Id like to see this preview.

Well in summary the OS preview said its a day1 purchase 2 weeks ago. Since we never saw gameplay tho I should have been worried I guess. Then 2 weeks later we get a review of 3.5. Understand my frustration

Again, you chose to believe the wrong people and those people were not part of the OS staff. Where is this preview you speak of?

It's amazing how often OS goes from being in EA's pocket to completely biased against them in favor of 2K depending on the accuser's argument at that given moment.

I totally agree with this review. I've played EA basketball since Bulls v Lakers. Live 95 was one of my favorite bball game. I get Madden ever year and NCAA football every year. My point is I want Live to be good. It's just not. I played the demo and I'm not waisting $60 on a last gen game. I have Live 10 and it's much better than this garbage. Me and a friend started playing this because he wanted to check out my Xbox1. I was embarrassed because of how terrible it looked and played. It made my new xbox look terrible. Lol. I want to say this is the Madden 06 of next gen but, Live 14 is worse.

-gameplay is bad
-graphics and player movement is bad
-physics bad
-ball dribbling/physics bad
-arcade gameplay
-frame rate issues

The list goes on and on.

It's sad to see how bad Live has become.
If you want to defended it fine. Enjoy your terrible game.

Um, it was headlines on everywhere that OS supported the game and day1 purchase. They did a podcast about it.
