I think live is in a better place going Foward. Their game is totally rebuilt for next gen. Player movement etc.. Already feels a step in the right direction .

To be fair, we had a schedule of information last year that went right out the window and they (along with some people here) tried to convince us all that it didn't exist when it magically disappeared from NBA.com.

Great answers to some great questions.....


I must admit EA sports is taking their community serious and Stepping Their Game Up

No online questions? Nothing interesting to me...

It's hard to believe anything they say at this point, as they have become 'the boy who cried wolf' over the past few attempts to make this game. That being said, I'd welcome some competition to 2k, just to keep the developers on their Ps and Qs if nothing else. It's hard for me to imagine that Live can overtake 2k this year given the gap between the two last year, but only time will tell I guess.

Now if Derrick Rose can just stay healthy for 5 minutes, I'll be really excited to finally get my PS4 hoop on this fall.

I wouldn't expect to see any NCAA games any time soon, thanks to Ed O'Bannon and the rest. It's a shame, but I can't blame game developers for avoiding that situation like the plague.

I'd love to know the answer to this question....but i don't think it's a priority to EA because of their belief in the Synergy engine driving simulation gameplay.

Sliders + Player Edits + Ability to create classic teams = a must buy for me next year.

Without those things I'll continue to boycott NBA Live LOL!

Live has never had any issues getting us all aboard the hype train before the game released.

It's everything AFTER the game is released where the issues are. So yeah, everything does sound good so far, but we've also been here before as well.
