NBA Live 15 Offers a New Free Throw Mechanic, No Game Face

[vtcrb]

I think we will see Alot More Info AFTER the release of 2k15. I mean honestly to me that is a smart move. As 2k has saturated the market right now and Whateve Live puts out right now will be compared to what 2k has and they aren't at that Stage right now. With that being said I am a Firm believer NBA Live15 will be a Solid Game and something for EA to build on for the future.

Do we realize how sad that is and sounds? A month ago people were in here talking about Live trying to go blow for blow with 2K releasing info because they were ready to compete with them based on the improved graphics we saw in the screens. Now 2K released news so big that Live has to tuck it's tail in response and WAIT for 2K to get done promoting their game to promote theirs? That's ****ing ridiculous man. This isn't boxing man. The rope-a-dope isn't in effect here. EA Sports is a huge company man, that's not even mom and pop shop business practices to do something like that.

I thought it was a well written article and a good preview. If it was written by a major outlet I think the reception towards it would be totally different. Looks like we will have to wait til release for those types of reviews.

You have to pick Your Battles. NBA Live is NOT that BIG in the WHOLE landscape of EA Sports Gaming. 2k is the SOLE sports Gaming Focus for 2k Sports. They dont have to worry about NHL, Madden, Fifa, etc. So i am sure they have a Marketing strategy designed to make sure EACH game gets it time in the Spotlight as far a Advertising and Releasing Game info.

Now if they release info now, all we will hear is guys complaining that 2k has this and that and Live Doesnt, etc. So WHY not wait Until 2k has released and then Give your Details. We KNOW that EA doesnt have Editing Options and THAT will be #1 Complaint.

Now of course i would LOVE to hear More NBA Live details, but i am willing to wait. I mean we have been waiting for a couple years, so we can wait a little Longer. I think it will be worth the wait, hopefully.

Uhhh....cause the general public typically doesn't buy two of the same sports game. When 2K is done "promoting" their game will be around November or so. Since they'll still be running commercials for the game I'm sure. Even if we didn't go with that date, let's say they'll be done promoting October 7th. Their game will be on store shelves at that point and all the promoting and hyping will allow people to immediately go buy their game while Live is sitting around showing screens of baseline paint waiting for 2K to get out of their way to snatch sports gamers 21 days after they blew their October game budget on Borderlands, Alien, Driveclub, 2K, Super Smash Bros. and then of course waiting for that 4 days AFTER Live comes out to pick up Call of Duty and a few days after that, Assassin's Creed, Halo, Lego Batman 3 and I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.

I am not arguing about it with you , i was just stating my opinion. I didnt say it was Best Business Decision, but i just dont think EA is putting their Strongest Marketing Push out until AFTER 2k is released.

Don't get me wrong, not saying you're arguing about it. Just addressing these kind of questions and thoughts in general because they seem to be rather common for quite a few.
