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.

	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.

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.

They had basketball (sim? and arcade) down until the PS3 and 360 came out. Then they messed up both....NBA Street V3 was one of my favorite games of all time, NBA Street Homecourt was average at best. Still fun but it didnt have the same feel as the first 3.

At this point it might be best for EA to wait until next gen for a basketball game that will compete....although it would be nice for them to get a good foundation down now, than start over AGAIN

Dude, who is running the PR dept over @ EA? "We're showing it, no wait it's crap, oh wait now we're ready, oh god no we're not..." Not good fellas, not good.

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.

u and i both know ea sport usually marketing way are to announce the product hype it up. release a 2 or 3 trailer. maybe a hands on preview. more blog about the feature... they haven't done that this time around. ea hasn't released one gameplay video not one. and ready predictions & roomers are coming forth in saying that live 13 is canceled, it being released as dlc, it 4 show getting delay and in reailty none of us no ****. that all created by silence alone. all ea needs really to shut everyone up is a strong gameplay trailer. and gd hands on presentaion. releasing any thing less is stupid. ea shouldn't release anything till nba live 13 is ready to be shown to the world. anything less is suicide...

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

oh okay understand....
