NBA Live 15 Fans Getting the Short End of the Stick

[nhthelegend]

I'm all for competition. I mean, look how bad the WWE has gotten since WCW went under. That being said, big blunder by Sean O'Brien in promising so much information AND GIVING A TIMELINE FOR IT....only to be completely full of crap.

If you can't even stick to your word about releasing information, why should I trust anything you say about the game? If you have a partner that always cheats on you and says "baby, I swear that was the last time", what are they gonna do? Cheat on your *** again. SMH.

I'm content waiting for the demo at this point...but for the hardcore Live fans & guys who have a real interest in the game...another year starting off with broken promises and lack of information has to hurt....

It's just a number, who's to say it's really that many improvements? And The more descriptive they are, the more truth you need to tell. Unless they can back it up, they might not want to get too descriptive.

Time will tell...

I don't say this sarcastically or chastising at all. I wish I had the patience that Live fans have. To be able to stick through a game that hasn't even been on track for the last 4-5 years is amazing. To be optimistic about the upcoming game for it? Even more so.

I'll tell you though, it's not a good thing to release the same day as 2K. They should have aimed for a week earlier or so. Because that would lead to more trying the game, people itching for updated basketball rosters. Instead, you're going to basically make a lot of people who can't afford both, choose one or the other. Track record does not go in Live's favor.

I pledge no allegiance to either brand, I just want competition and quality basketball..Both games have their issues, it just comes down to having options..I remember back in the day there was Live, Nba Inside drive, Kobe Bryant's Nba Courtside, 2K, and ESPN NBA 2Night...We had options as fans..If Live does poorly, 2K will get lazy and you're not going to see the game improve like you want...Same problem is happening with baseball, hockey, and golfing games..At least Fifa has to compete with PES on a level somewhat..

they are still not 100% happy with the product. so most likely we are going to be playing the beta 2.0. . im going to give the free trial a shot. i would like to see some moving pictures though.

Thanks for posting this.

I've been ghosting this sub-forum for months, growing increasingly frustrated, wanting to make a post like this but fearful that it would be met with anger (or infractions! Who knows!).

The Developement team has been surprisingly and refreshingly candid about their missteps with 14 (though I'll save my tangent on them doing so AFTER THEIR MARKETING BLITZ for another time). I can respect that. But here we go again with them making the same old promises and NOT showing us anything.

Want some next gen graphics? Ok, because we promise that's what you'll get with 15. Here's a screenshot from as far away as possible from anything of relevance! Like that? Cool. We'll trickle out 29 more of these players the size of ants shots then.

SMH.

Where's the gameplay videos, EA? The game drops in 5 weeks.
