NBA Live 13 Preview

03:00 PM - June 5, 2012 by RaychelSnr

I recently got the chance to see NBA Live 13 in action and while the results weren't the greatest to be sure, there were some helpful tidbits of information you could gather from my initial viewing. The NBA Live 13 team showed us an early pre-alpha version of the game, which according to the Developers, was 60% complete -- so it was a quite early version of the game which probably won't represent the final product given the games early build.

I thought it was established we all like basketball, but that is the start of the reason we have to ban people around release time, because some just take it too far.

Anyway, Its them who will make or break their own way

Well, at least it's further along than the Elite demo - which was supposedly 50%...

I kid. 23 is right in his concern. It's hard not to expect there to be more given the calendar. But, trust me, that time goes by FAST and you're talking about going over and reviewing MILLIONS of lines of code. Not to mention evaluating and deciding on the next steps. Folks also need to remember that they only recently finished putting the dev team together. In the end, they already said that this would not be a 2-3 year title. We can't gloss over that.

Point taken. But we - the "hardcore fans on OS" aren't the only people they have to sell. They have to sell those that know nothing about anything until they see a screenshot or the back of the box at Gamestop.

Well, if they listen to SOME fans, they may feel that their player models are just fine. You'll always have a crowd of people saying how much better it looks over another game. Or how it's better in every way. People are going to hear what they want to hear... Until the sales numbers come back, of course.

Since the hardcore crowd isnt the majority, then the casuals also gave them the boot

That excuse isnt working for them anymore, and we're all more connected than you might want to think in this day and age, and news travels fast

I dont know what were goin 2 see lol

I just believe in NBA LIVE 13 thats all damn

I was thinking this today which it made me wonder. Why would EA risk themselves showing such an early build which is incomplete and lacks features you are promoting for this year when people will surely tear apart your product in their previews? That makes no sense to me at all unless they have something big hidden so they can surprise us in future gameplay videos, trailers or previews. They weren't forced to show their product at E3 so they must have a plan with them.

Live is going to have some kind of physics engine, its not hard to read between the lines.

Hope you do the final OS Review! In any case, Live is in a tough place, and I think to call it the most hyped game at E3 is off - expectations should be pretty low. One thing I hope they keep from Elite was the Career mode which seemed interesting, better than MyPlayer (or will they go with connected careers?)

I hope they do the connected careers like madden 13 will do this year. Just imagine playing with legends and hall of famers instead of just micheal jordan. Can't wait to see what they do this year

# 197 champsbasketball @ 06/10/12 04:17 PM

Connection career would be a great add this year.

# 198 HokieTerp @ 06/11/12 03:27 PM

Needs a create a team feature, possibly like EA Teambuilder.

# 199 13whitebread @ 06/29/12 09:21 PM

Let me first just say that I am a hockey player of sport and video games. But the last 2 years I have purchased NBA 2k11 and 12 and it has been a lot of fun but a learning curve getting all the moves down. This year however I will be buying either a Hockey or Basketball game this year not both. So I will wait to see which is better before purchasing either one. So hearing about this is not a step in the right direction for my money. Right know NHL is in the lead.
