My love/hate relationship with Live 16

[RayRay34]

Well i figured I'd look to the community for maybe some sign of hope. I will start by saying after playing the EA access version of Live and expecting big things I was sadly disappointed, but I was still defending the game to my buddies.... then I played 2k last night and I realized that as much as I wanted live to suceed it wasn't going to happen anytime soon. With 2k I got sick of playing the same game every year for the last 4 years or so. Little tweaks every year weren't enough to keep me interested and then when Live came back I was ready for a change.

14 was rough and 15 was a major jump and it was actually making me think....EA is gonna run away with basketball very soon. Then this year happened.... EA could have carried some good momentum into this season, they could have catered to the casual and hardcore b-ball gamers alike. They could have given us control of a game we the fans want...... instead I feel they gave us empty promises and a game they wanted to put out.

After playing many games of 2k last night I contacted xbox live support this morning and canceled my pre order on live.....in dissapointment I must add! EA, you could have had it, you could have made a big leap this year and you didnt. Sure you added a pro am mode which is laggy and flawed (I know, wait for the patch) you gave us rosters that are not complete (I know, wait for the patch) you gave us sliders that dont do a whole lot (dare I say it..... wait for the patch) no roster editing, no other off line modes and no major improvments this year, but wait until next year????arI

EA im sorry, I wanted Live to be good this year, I wanted it so badly I didnt even look at anything the competition was doing leading up to release....but then I played the competition...... they changed, now its your turn..... hopefully I see you next year.

Community, please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way....

I'm sure you're not the only one that feels this way. And I'm also sure this will get locked.

I'm not talking any **** about Live at all and I'm not comparing the games. If you look at all my posts I have been a live supporter all along. What I am doing is putting out my disappointment with EA and the Live team. What difference would it be if I said the same thing in an impressions thread?

I was playing the demo last night n git upset because there's really nothing to do in live smh. Shocked they took such a huge gamble on proam.

Maybe this will finally give them a wakeup call to give the consumers what they want.

Ya honestly I like live this year and really thought maybe it would get some play but man, and honestly I don't think it's wrong for me to say, it just really is so far behind and I really can't justify playing it after what I've been playing in 2k the last 24 hours. I think I'll probably play a little once I get bored with 2k if that ever happens. There's just so much more to it. I dunno. Honestly I commend live cause it's really not a bad game it just really honestly does pale in comparison.

you guys are way too sensitive at times....

he made a clear point no reason to ban anyone IMO....

Game is solid this year but i can understand the frustration some people might have with it again....

I hope the patch really clears up some things we saw in the demo
