Blame Apple, Google is live right away. They scan the apps, etc, while they are uploading them.

To the Live haters this another "I told you they cant get it right, the game gonna suck because of this too ." And Live fanboys are like " It's delayed because they are making it better, this shows they care."

And the rest of the 99% JDGAF

You don't drop a trailer like the pro am and disappear . 2k went back to back with blogs , videos , classic teams announcing etc.. Live could drop the game face app let us scan our selves then drop a new trailer or something to get us anxious to play with ourselves in the game. Also we could get word out to or friends to DL the app so when the demo drops we would all have our face scans ready to go and play online with each other ...

If your face scan come out right the first time do you think you will ever use it again? The app is by far not a hold over, the demo will be till the game release.

You get a useless app 4 days ahead of it being useful as opposed to 7 days ahead of it being useful. So what does it matter. I personally don't understand why they don't release simultaneously but hey it's not my decision. Your example is completely apples to oranges in this situation. The demo makes or breaks the importance of app and game, the app doesn't do that for the demo or the game.

I think the issue is the marketing behind it. Users were supposed to have their faces ready to go when the demo dropped. The recent history of Live is what is driving people skepticism and trying to relate 2 separate things together to determine a late means a bad game. I think Live will have an audience of folks who enjoy their game. Personally, its the demo that will impact my decision on buying 2 B-ball games. I hope Live is back.

How's it gonna hold people over? Some people like to figure out how stuff works ahead of time.

This is a brand new app so there's gonna be some bugs, instead of having 7 days to report and begin fixing bugs they'll have about 3-4. If 2K had released it's face scan thing last year ahead of time, we coyld have caught a few of the problems and reported back and it would have saved a lot of people a lot of time and prevented a lot of the monstrosities we saw when the game dropped.

Didn't live say the facescans had to be uploaded to EAs servers after they are done on the app? I'm sure it won't be instant right?
So my thing is to the people saying it wont hold us over, if this is true then a few days before hand is best. I wouldn't want to have to wait to start my ProAm guy because my FaceScan isn't uploaded.

Here my grip with not releasing the App today, EA made some bold claims regarding how long it took to scan and download your face during E3, so naturally people want to test this out for validity. I read someone claiming that it has to do with approval from Apple and Google which make no sense because why was this app not approved months ago EA planned to use this feature months ago.
