NBA Live 15 Fans Getting the Short End of the Stick

[freeguy]

I get this crazy feeling that they're going to cancel this game at the last minute. smh

[WTF]

I did enjoy a lot of what Live 14 offered. I trashed it when it first released. It was horrible.

The updates made some good progress. With that said, I can't go back and play 14. I'm looking forward to 15. Live 14 showed some of the direction that they were heading. Live 15 will be massive steps in the right direction.

The broken promises, like I mentioned earlier, I have no excuse for. The only thing that I can think is the OB was shooting from the hip when it clearly wasn't in Lives info release plan. Not an excuse for him saying how much info we'd get, nor when we'd get it.

Again, the game stunk to high heavens upon release last year. Atrocious. But the updates made me see a lot of things that"I" look for. This release of Live 15 will show stuff that "you" or everyone else will enjoy and look for in a game.

That still doesn't excuse the lack of information after it was promised. I miss the days of scouring EGM magazine for a screen or two, then coming here to post about it a month before release.

The hype machines hyping announcements big and small have taken us away from that. 1 month to go...

Should have put wait and/or speculate.


However I agree that not showing info or keeping the public uninformed is terrible marketing. My point has always been it makes me no difference and that I don't know why it does to other people. That certainly doesn't mean it doesn't matter to the vast majority.

Yeah if they hold out info all this time AND the trailer is mediocre or doesn't give people enthusiasm to buy the game..Well...you know what will happen..

Yeah I went so hard after the whole Elite 11 debacle I got an infraction and felt obligated to apologize in private to one of the developers so I'm no "fan boy"(I really hate many of the internet terms). Did the same to Live 14(though I managed to be far more appropriate).

I do think we all should leave that cancelled talk staked away because that's not what's going on and is really unwarranted right now

If You think about it, they Never Really Broke any Promises. The Fact that they told you a Demo is coming is indeed a detail about Gameplay. The fact that they're telling you you can play the game is a detail about the "game"play. Just not what you Expected. Since Everyone Wants to Jump on them I guess I can Stick up for them. Not to mention the Developer Interview we got Yest. does indeed Talk about some Gameplay details we or "I" didn't know. Mainly how the on-boarding process works and the depth of it. Still August. Though Late. We've Seen Hands on Preview(s) well one, and we've seen content Pop up on the Site so what Promise Have they Really Broken.. Actually more than one Hands on Preview according to the Main article we're in Right Now, didn't think about the Game Informer one.

Now Here's my Theory............

They've got some work to do on the Game so they want to make sure its Golden before actually releasing. We already know that NBA Live Has the Ability to update the Game add in Content, take Away Content, I mean they can put in Full Heads and Face Scans for Crying out Loud, maybe there More Concerned with the Quality of the Product rather than Trying to impress doubters with a Trailer 59% of People are gonna Hate on Anyways. I Literally seen someone on Twitter say that Damian Lillard Screenshot was trash or that it looked Terrible. I was like Really? So I Don't Blame them for Holding Back, the Wolves are Growling Ready to Bite.
