The Next NBA Live Has Been Pushed to Fall 2017

Maybe that's the marketing plan this game needs. Just look how alive this forum is!

Wont matter how good the game is if it releases at 59.99 nobody is going to buy it.

I'll buy it! I don't see how the delay is going to make the game worse..

Shame in that all they had to say was 2 year development cycle (which every sports game could benefit from) moving to frostbite, improving all modes while bringing updated rosters to 16.

Oh well, at least gives me more time to improve my rising star. Love how hard it is to level up your guy.

Check the Xbox club for live 16 pro-am tourneys. Game is still going strong in pro-am.

"when EA higher-ups got their hands on the game that was scheduled to launch in early 2017, they felt that “in all honesty [...] it’s really, really good — really fun.”




Anyway....
Can't say that i'm not surprised at this news lol

I'd only be very annoyed if we find out they scrap all that's been developed for something different. If they're just taking more time to develop what they've got then there isn't much of an issue here

Think about it; Fans of sports title clearly like to purchase during the start of a season because it reflects what they see on tv/online. We're getting an extra 5 - 6 months of game development on a game they're saying is really good and that's all we can say at the moment. I understand that it looks like they're not confident in what they have now but I see a bigger issue in releasing a game during the second half of a sports season. Bear in mind 2k18 will come out in in about 8 months, you might as well double down with the King

If they advertise hard and pull some strings with big name youtbers, social media outlets and the NBA, the competition can really begin

I just wish they'd do either a college basketball game or NBA Street.

Since you've done it yet again EA at least give us a patch for NBA Live 16 with updated jerseys and a roster update. That half assed attempt after the D Rose deal has ruined the game for me.

What happened to sports videogames? There was a time....

I didn't express how I really felt about this news but this was the first time since 2005 that I was looking forward to an NBA LiVe title.

Don't Ban Me For Saying This.
