OBrien probably should have checked with marketing prior to talking about an info release schedule. Regardless, once something is shown (soon), it'll start the information release schedule. I understand pessimism, but the lack of information doesn't indicate lack of a quality title.

I'm assuming you've played live 15. And you were one of the rare people who enjoyed live 14. But The op brings up a great point. How do explain the broken promises? Why break promises when there's "Drastic" improvements. That's all I'm saying. Doesn't add up.

Last year it was "well just play it". And even after most people played it the reaction was mostly negative.

Well...actually we know which modes are in the game, the exact same ones with little tuning or improvement (better logic on Rising Star and Dynasty Mode and auctions on Ultimate Team); and they've mentioned some gameplay changes.
Besides that I get the point of the article or I think I do.

I don't understand why Sean O’Brien even bother to put dates to something he wasn't totally sure they could deliver, by doing that they only get more disbelief and more concerns from potential customers; if he didn't say a word about it I don't think it'd be much of a problem since information about games usually come out late although repeating the same process as Live 14 isn't doing them any favours.

I hope we get more information soon with gameplay videos, trial and demo but it isn't like I'll choose which basketball game I'll get before trying them both.

And certain ones are looking to over defend as well. They're both in the same boat

There are a few reasons why the promise was broken not all of which means Live 15 is doomed and WTF named one. Maybe those promises weren't meant to be made in the 1st place? Maybe EA are over thinking things and want to micromanage ever detail they release? Maybe the developers decided time could be better spent doing something other than updates. Maybe the game is awful and they're scared for their jobs that it can't hold up to 2k15? At this point all people can do is wait or speculate.

Yeah I asked on here what happened to the July promise of them showing gameplay..Then I asked in August and nothing happened again..All I'm saying is this trailer better be straight fuego...I better have the same reaction that I had last year when 2K released the "OMG" trailer for next-gen...My jaw better hit the floor..

I kind of feel like the Live team is hiding something. We all know that the game isn't going to trump 2K just yet, all I am looking for is rock solid improvement to give the game a shot. Put it out there and let people adjust to the news. Because if the game isn't up to snuff at this point, everyone is gonna say that they were "hiding" it from us. Get the bad news out the way first. Like how 2K immediately squashed the Inside the NBA speculation. It was disappointing, but we got over it and are looking forward to the game more than ever. 2K did okey dope us with the VC last year, though... Judging by the arena pics and the Lillard shot, Live is going to look good. We know that minimal improvements have gone into the game modes. Time to get to the meat and potatoes; GAMEPLAY.

People have no choice but to wait...and this encourages speculation that's the point.

Honestly just look at you tube comments on almost anythjng. This is what you're up against. People on the unchained Internet can get wild man lol.

This is one of the popular opinions I share. I don't mind them releasing info late. However it better be damn good!
