NBA Live 13 News Post

NBA Elite Name is History, NBA Live 13 is Coming

03:06 PM - February 23, 2012 by RaychelSnr

The last NBA Live game, NBA Live 10.

Kotaku has the scoop, with #1 Draft Pick Kyrie Irving breaking the news on Twitter and EA then confirming it.

Quote:


	""This fall we'll launch an all-new experience that captures the future of basketball with NBA Live 13," a spokesman said. "More to come soon."

What do you think about the move back? Good idea? Bad idea?

Hopefully some real competition will get 2k back on track. 2k11 was amazing! 2k12 was pretty meh because it was the only game in town.

Who ever brings college sim back I'm going with them

# 43 Sparkles @ 02/23/12 07:12 PM

wait, is ncaa basketball 13 planned to be released this year too????

Honestly, it wouldn't phase me one way or the other - I'm just glad to see competition back in the virtual hardwood arena. I haven't cared much for Live since Live '03. But having said that, I, for one, can't wait to see what EA will bring to the table. The 2K series has become far too complacent to my liking with the tug-and-pull controls, overbearing animations, and cheap AI. All I can say is welcome back.

I'm thinking we might see a return of All Star Weekend as a game mode.

now def as competition and since its been 3 years they need to release it for $30 when it comes out

# 47 greenegt @ 02/23/12 09:04 PM

Welcome back Live. Looking forward to seeing what EA has cooked up.

It's only competition if EA puts out a good product, just releasing a game is not enough.

I like the name change.. but then again i wasn't really against the elite name in the first place.

Call me optimistic, but i have faith that this years NBA sim from EA will be something to talk about (in a good way).. lets just hope it wasn't just the name that was changed, lets hope that the heads of EA saw the potential live 10 had and chose to build from the solid foundation it set.

Agreed! Good point.

I am anxoius to see what they improved on over the last 2 years. I am also anxious to see if the will have really good graphics because EA games usually have great graphics.
I was always a Live player. It wasnt until 2k11 when I started playing 2K.

this is excellent news, but i have to say i believe the cover guy will be durant, i think they will like to rebuild their relationship with durant due to the fail of elite, and being that durant wasnt even informed about elite being cancelled from the corporation, i forgot how he found out though, think twitter

# 53 TUSS11 @ 02/23/12 11:13 PM

This is so incredible! NBA Live is the future of basketball.

# 54 DetroitStyle @ 02/23/12 11:27 PM

maybe they're going back to their successful roots. Smart marketing move anyway...

# 55 24 @ 02/23/12 11:38 PM

I am purchasing live 13 this year. They have had time to fine tune a game and i think it will be a very nice experience

# 56 DeuceDouglas @ 02/24/12 12:13 AM

I think the name change or rather reversion to Live was a no brainer. It's what people were familiar with and I don't think it made sense to change it in the first place. I liked NBA Live 10 and have been playing it recently but the major thing I think that game lacked was defensive controls. They had plenty for you to do offensively with the ball but defensively all you can really do is stand there and hope to get in a guys way.

# 57 mlp111 @ 02/24/12 01:03 AM

for me its going to be as simple as this, nba 2k13 on pc (for mods and etc), nba live 13 xbox 360 (unless we get lucky and nba live franchise wants to bring back pc fans, i will go for both games on pc if available) never really been a nba live fan, but if they bring it, will have no problem making switch, but i doubt if 2k13 will be a bad game, think it will be well improved, just excited about competition and the ability to choose, NOW COME ON NFL AND DO AWAY WITH THE NFL EXCLUSIVE LICENSE! THEN WE REALLY TALKING!

# 58 uponablackstar @ 02/24/12 02:56 AM

I have a hunch that Live 13 will come out around playoff time.

# 59 NikeBlitz @ 02/24/12 06:14 AM

How is dynasty mode in NBA Live 10 ? Hope they work on.

I'm pretty sure we'll see some Euroleagues teams in Live ...

# 60 MarvellousOne @ 02/24/12 07:05 AM

Going back to the NBA Live title although it has no effect on how the game will play is nice to see and great marketing by EA since Live is the household name. EA though is under a good amount of pressure here though, since they had about 2+ years to develop this title opposed to the normal 1 year cycle. This game should be well polished and should have a decent amount of features in it. I am anxious to see what they came up with this year.
