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

04:04 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.

Quote:


	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.

Different studio, different ways of doing things. That really helped Elite become a good game right? Releasing us videos.

Show the game at E3, give a little taste, throughout June and July get the cover guys out there and make a few announcements or two with the majority of gameplay stuff and insights kicking up around Gamescom time. The King of the Genre is not going to sit around waiting for underlings before he goes about his business.

this season isn't about 2k this season is about can ea put out a soild basketball.i expect a soild fun game from 2k better of the same so to speak. as far as live 13 goes he who does not speak as much to say. with silence ea got the media & the basketball gaming community eyes on them. know ea need to do it get live 13 ready then strike....if they show of nba live 13 somtime later this summer the preview must better then the showing at e3.... i could be wrong tho....

I'm guessing this is where they were going to show off NBA Live but opted not to...I'm only watching because I want to see Armored Kill for BF3

Whats funny is that in the first video I noticed that Jennings was a righty when in real life he's a lefty, lol

Edit: The top comment also pointed it out, lol.
Edit #2: Sage I know you're constantly in the Madden forum too so I know you'll enjoy this quote I picked out of one of the videos: "You have to pick up the sticks, you'll feel the difference" -- sound familiar?

How much of a game will this be if this is true? I take it there will be no dynasty mode?

Yeah I felt that arcade difference.

At this point, I think it is safe to say that Live is going to be dead in the water as soon as it releases. Poor E3 showing. No gameplay footage shown to the public yet. EA dissed it for the Summer Showcase. They might as well just cancel the damn game again. This isn't how you create hype for a series that has been gone for 2 years. Especially when you are going up against NBA 2K. This is an epic fail.

Y'all dudes are killing me man lol. Look at this post man. You're talking about them not promoting the game has the basketball communities eyes on them. It's a game that got cancelled two years ago leaving one basketball title on the landscape. The second it was announced that Live was coming back out with the Live name back, the community was watching the title. The community would be keeping eyes on Sony's NBA title if it got announced it was coming back next year and their game was worse than Elite. EA doesn't need to be silent to attract attention to Live.

Man, if EA had a sports team and you guys were on it their defense would be tight not letting anything penetrate even if the quarterback(EA) is garbage.
You guys might make great defense lawyer too..."the absence of evidence isn't evident if it never was present" .....riiiiight! When EA delays information it's because of something.

....AND

You completely missed the point

Like I said tech demos, dribble videos, and carefully selected clips

You weren't here when we were on the boards with the devs so I can understand that you have no idea what im talking about.

Now I know again why that game sucked so much and why their presentation of it was so bad

...and it was never RTP, that was another buzz word thrown around... it was more like broken rag doll effects from a tech demo

The killer part is it was their fault the game did that... They broke Live 10... then over juiced all of the ratings so if you beat a man off the dribble his extra high defensive recovery rating fought with the man dribbling normally, so it would cause sliding and out of control animations

I started a huge thread with evidence and they ignored it... then posted that video trying to pump up e -LITE, but they had centers jumping from the FT line at any given time....

Give me a break... putting a hockey dude in charge of basketball was the most stupid thing anybody in that office could ever do

I still laugh at those today:

'Elite is being better than the best'

'Elite is true to the game' etc.

# 96 magicman32 @ 08/02/12 09:19 PM

I knew Elite 11 would be a disaster when they mentioned the game had no Turbo, had dribble and shot controls both on the right stick, and if you shot a perfect shot it would go in.

That combined with EA Basketball's Animation Tech was just an accident waiting to happen. Then they topped it off by taking a step backwards graphically. Live has a lot of work to do. They should have gotten started earlier and never should of used anything from Elite. It's sad that Live has been sorry this whole gen.

# 97 Pedro_PM @ 08/02/12 09:48 PM

The thing for me personaly, is that i liked Live 10, i had 2k10 and Live 10, and while i enjoyed 2k10 the most, i thought live 10 was good, much better that past year�s live�s. Then EA destroys a good start in Live 10, and does Elite. And now, they are trying to start from Elite, and for me that�s where the problem resides, they should have started from 0 or from Live 10.

That being said, after this i truly expect EA to cancel the series from this generation of consoles, and start doing their game for next-gen.

Same way I felt.

Yeah and there were tons of people eating up everything they said. I know what killed me the most was talking about these shooting controls and the shot being all up to you and all of this. If you got a non licensed basketball game and you wanna give guys the control to make every shot if they know how to release the stick, that's one thing. However the point of a simulation NBA basketball game means some people just can't shoot and you'r'e not meant to make every shot. Being able to hit every shot with Rondo or Ben Wallace or Dwight or Iggy just because the 'control is all up to you' ain't NBA basketball. There were people on here talking like that's how things should be though and spouting out the same buzzwords that were being used in those vids though.

EA was like the ultimate used car dealer when promoting Elite, it was kind of hard to not be curious, at the very least. Coming off of Live 10 I was sure that EA was heading in the right direction and the talks of full control and a new physics system made Elite sound really compelling. I think even before the demo came out people were still some what optimistic that the game, at worst, would be the start of something good. Like I said EA is the ultimate used car dealer and people didn't know how bad the game was until they finally go to try it. For the sake of NBA Live, competition, and the future of basketball games I really hope a similar occurence does not happen again this year because if Live is either complete trash or is cancelled once again EA won't be making a basketball game for a long time....although it would be nice to see a return of NBA Street, EA always had that arcade ball down.
