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.

Sorry but 2k's face scan is far more difficult than this. Again after you scan your face what else could you do? It's not like your playing the game. However EA should've had this ready for today but it's not that big of a deal without the game and as long as it work as advertised.

I was looking forward to this app so that I'm ready for the demo before hand and can just play. I don't think a few days is going to change that for me. As some have said, just stop giving us hard dates. It may take 15 minutes to create a player, it may take hours. I don't think any of us know how much detail they are going to give us right now. But I'd much rather get into gameplay right away.

As someone who's job can be hindered by app acceptance delays, I feel for Live a little bit on this one. I think some people here need a very brief idiots guide to app development. Live creates an app. Sends it through their own R&D until they are satisfied and it meets Apple & Android specifications. They submit the app for acceptance. If they change ANYTHING within that time frame there is a good change the app needs to go through a re-submission process.

Live wants to develop the best game possible so everything is constantly being tweaked. Just because they submitted months ago doesn't mean they didn't have more to do.

All this freak out is a non issue...until it is.

Hey just curious do you think they should hAve put a date stamp on this? I'm a finance guy so this beyond my realm. I'm sure EA isn't happy because this a missed deadline.

The 2K face scan was not meant to be as hard as it was, you could tell that when they gave a decent explanation and corrected a few bugs.

Looking forward to the app as well but I will say I'm not to fond of this wait and play the demo approach. They still have weeks to bombard us with info but let us gets some tidbits along the way. They gave us the proam stuff but can we get a little more. Still haven't talked about AI, Controls, Defense, Ultimate Team, Rising Star, no official live streams and we barely see any one in here. Not saying they they have to give us any of this but appease your loyalist with something. Maybe they will give us a blog along with the demo so we can try some of the new stuff out while paying???

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.

I'm sure they made several changes to the app since it was initially announced to improve it. Any time an update is made to an app, it has to go through the approval process all over again, so they most likely didn't submit it until recently. Then, if Apple or Google found something they didn't like, it can delay the process.

But even then that was more a result of 2K being quiet oppose to Live releasing a ton of information. People forget that besides the initial Live trailer and news about the improvements all we got from Live all summer was screen shots here and there. They looked good but nothing earth shattering. Plus out of the two games Live needed the early publicity more than 2K.

Now ever since 2K decided to actually push their game Live has had no response except for "demo on the 15th." Don't get me wrong the demo could be enough to sell the game but I would think they would want to do more to bring attention to their game and the demo.

Yeah, it's not like you'd just stop working on the app in June, because it has to work with the game and if something in the netcode or import process of the game changes, you'd have to change the app as well.

When you're beholden to the App Store I'd always say "week of" just to be sure.
