NBA Live 13 Will NOT be Shown Tomorrow, When Will It?

05:04 PM - August 1, 2012 by Steve_OS

Jon Robinson just posted via Twitter, NBA Live 13 will not be shown at the EA Sports media event tomorrow. After we got our hopes up yesterday.

	Just got word that NBA Live will no longer be at the EA Sports media event tomorrow, but will have its own event at a later time.

Kotaku's Owen Good asked EA for a release date and received this head-scratching response.

Quote:


	Asked EA Sports: "At this stage, will NBA Live 13 release on 10/2, or prior to NBA's 10/30 tipoff?" Reply: "At this stage, yes."

Let the rumors fly, because after all... That is all we have at this point.

Wow. And I thought the Jay Z thing would be the most underwhelming announcement this week.

I'm betting on a delay till next gen. Which will probably be next year at some point.

The NBA decides the release date not EA.

That's awesome. First, it'll be shown... get people talking about it... and then, NAH, I'm just playing, not gonna be shown.

I really really question what EA is even thinking....there is 2 months left before the NBA's deadline for their games to be released and you're still scared to give people a more in-depth look at your game, there hasn't even been a modest peep about the game since E3...now I know even 2K hasn't show much of anything or revealed anything major, but they aren't the ones skating on thin ice right now. We know they are going to release this year there is no doubt about it, but NBA Live and EA basketball is on life support right now and they haven't even released a cover athlete...heck they haven't even announced when the game will come out and on what systems (although the release date is pretty set in stone by the NBA) this is mind boggling.

Isn't it clear to everyone by now that even if Live 13 is released on 10/2 or 10/30...the game is going to be beyond subpar.

That's my issue.

It's not worth showing? Fine.

But to release a damn game after such a hiatus and have it still come up short is just a slap in the face.

They should have done that 3 years ago after they canceled NBA Elite. Instead they ended up on a normal development cycle, and from what we have heard about the game during E3 previews we are staring at the same issues that plagued the game once before...new development team, so far same ol game it seems. Hopefully I am wrong and they got there act right ...if they are coming out with this game as they say they are.

I cannot wait to see how the EA guys spin this one. 2K was gonna send some undercover guys to the event tomorrow to steal some more ideas. Eminem was supposed to EP Live but 2K found out and stole that idea so they had to go even more secret to save ideas. I don't know what it's gonna be this time, but I can't wait to see it.

Exactly. I guess I was wrong to think they would use the two years to take their time and make a quality product. It seems like they just took a vacation and locked the doors of their basketball dept. during that time. It's just disappointing. My guess on the silence is that they're hard at work during this crunch time to put out something decent. Hopefully.
