What I don't understand is why people have so much loyalty to a big faceless corporation that puts their publishing brand on the box and not the actual developers who made the Live games that they enjoyed in the past.

EA destroyed any sense of continuity when they fired and later hired a bunch of people to handle Live.

And anybody who says Live 10 was the best is basically admitting it was Mike Wang's doing, which makes NBA 2K13 in some ways the spiritual successor to that game with the right dribble stick finally in place.

It's worth mentioning that CastleStorm isn't even out yet; they plan a release 'later this year' according to their facebook as of YESTERDAY.

This means, whatever build this is, CastleStorm had to at least be downloadable on XBLA in some kind of Beta mode at the time this video was captured. My deductive reasoning puts that video at about 2 weeks ago MAX.

It's very possible that EA isn't even planning on putting Live 13 out until several months from now (validating their 'Pre-Alpha' spiel)...does anybody have a confirmed release date on the game as of yet???

Nice observation! Although, they could be running an older build on a machine two weeks ago. That's plausible, but it sounds strange to do that.

I truly wonder what the deal is with this video and what stage the game is in now.

lmfao this **** horrible yo. Idc what build it is, they done had TWO YEARS and this looks just like NBA elite minus Jesus standing at half-court.

# 545 actuallybrown @ 08/22/12 02:31 AM

LOL @ the cameramen/floor seats on the baselines, though...

My honest advice to EA Tiburon (as if they'd ever listen to a gamer) is to go back to NBA STREET. That game was THEE BOMB, and a new edition could still manage to grab a good market share for Basketball fans. I don't know why they gave that up in favor of focusing on an incompetent franchise like Live/Elite has been for the last 5+ years.

Good times, man...EA, go back to this and you can SAVE A TON OF FACE.

You really think a pre-alpha build has all playable teams, dynasty mode, full quarters, server connection, full menus, full commentary, intros, etc. C'mon man...

Agreed. This build seems too feature heavy which is making that pre-alpha build talk sound like obvious damage control. This wouldn't be the first time.

Since you have so much money to spend on useless crap, can you buy me 2 copies of 2K13? One for PS3 and one for 360... Thanks.

sorry if repost

One of the guys said most of the stuff (logos, exit, etc) wasnt in the E3 build.

# 551 kui456 @ 08/22/12 03:17 AM

wtf ......

# 552 22cedric @ 08/22/12 03:23 AM

EA Sports screwed up many times with NBA Live in the past because of the lack of focus & direction. If they stick to the mindset of simulation basketball & follow it though without changing direction then NBA Live will be successful .

Good job, good effort

Can we just forget this ever happened, remember NBA Live for what it was, and star anticipating 2k13??

# 557 Lakers714 @ 08/22/12 05:13 AM

This looks like **** wtf they got to replace the whole team making this game

# 558 sjharris09 @ 08/22/12 06:14 AM

so i guess no one remembers that it took years for the 2k series to reach the height that it has today, no one remembers when nba 2k was the inferior title, no one remembers that nba 2k had the espn license and did didley squat with it for years. oh they take the right stick and put a dribble move on it and all of a sudden 2k is a god...? n.... please i play 2k often and til this day i see a bunch of ish that needs fixing, passing, online, shotclock cheese, jersey colors, point guards ending games with 6 blocked shot 4 by the chest alone, psychic steals and intercepts, super long foul continuations, dead crowds, repetitve commentary, irrelevent commentary, poor spacing, bad a.i. (teammate). THE LIST GOES ON! IMO, live 13 has a decent foundation for future iterations of the series, the video is probably from an earlier build or maybe not, but from what i saw, it looked decent. there was player differential in terms of body build and speed/quickness, passing seemed solid, and the likenesses of the players looked good. its by no means perfect but it is a good start coming from scratch. to be clear im not a fanboy of either series just the sport of basketball itself and from what i saw i liked... troll on that f.....ers

It's hard to judge the game play when the user's are playing like idiots.

nothing about the users when the foundation of the game is a skipping, skating mess, game has fewer framerates than a 10 yr old pc trying to run Crysis on maxed setting, don't blame the users when the foundation of the game is the reason the one person is playing like that (because the CPU control team sucks as well)
