Here it is, our first glimpse of NBA Live 13 in action.

Thoughts?

UPDATE: EA has taken down the video. Look through the comments section and you might be able to see a few pop up there, until they are removed as well.

UPDATE #2: Kotaku has it online.

UPDATE #3: EA Sports has responded... (via Owen Good, Kotaku)

EA Sports responds: "The video appears to be captured from a pre-alpha build months ago and is not an official EA SPORTS release. It does not represent a final build or feature set for NBA Live."

Someone actually called me out and said if I were involved with the Live game I would make a worse game?? That's hilarious to me. Thanks for the laugh!

I'm done with this topic. I will patiently await a video of a recent build and patiently wait for the demo to come out so I can try it.

Honesty based on opinion isn't fact.

What they want is everyone to agree with the faults they see. That's just as bad for the game as being a complete yes-man.

I disagree. Some might. The bottom line is folks want total transparency. Sure, mention the 3 things you like. But don't completely ignore the 3 that you don't like. And don't paint the positives as being enough to make an acceptable package when you know it's not.

But we're splitting hairs. I agree that we're heavy on hyperbole here and that should be reigned in. So do your thing, sir.

Meanwhile, August continues to move along and no "hey guys, here's a brief video of our latest build of the game. Note the differences and fixes from the pre-alpha build."

Please link me to the 2K glitch thread. Oh I forgot that game is perfection incarnate.
I played the final version at venice beach

It was the exact same game

My review:

Game looks just like NBA Jam

Every player looks like a slim jim

The game is just horrendous im sorry. I thought the first few comments were jokes but this game has no improvement to what i seen from Elite '11, infact you can argue it regressed since then. EA please save yourself the embarrassment and wrap it up. If this is the final version like 23 said then EA should really be ashamed that in 2 whole years you release this.

I am definitely not buying on release day. Will probably get used version or wait a few months for the price to go down...

Good point, its a "I don"t believe its THAT BAD" thing. I cannot imagine EA having the coco's to release a game that looks like N64. EA has dropped major duds in the past but never something like what i just saw...

Nah, I think the talk has been fun. I'm not gonna be like that.

Just trying to play the middle.

EA is doing exactly what they wanted to and then hit us with a real version that will blow us away. Ha ha Ha ....
The reason live 13 had only a "supposed" 1 year cycle is because of the two dev teams EA had to hire.One dev team dedicated to developing the final build that will blow us away come October, and another ultra secret special-ops kind of team developing the pre-Alpha build that we saw on the video.

From the ashes of late 90's early 00's nba live animation "techniques" , they managed to orchestrate a pretty big "false flag" operation on fans and customers just to create an initial atmosphere of pessimism and doubt.I really believe that the "leaked video" is pure propaganda on EA's behalf.They (the secret dev team) have leaked the video themselves and there is evidence for that claim...For real...
This 97 page thread (and counting) is testament to their wicked marketing ploy.

This is some serious trolling ninja ish ya dig...

Straw man argument? Please don't do that. I may be heavily criticizing NBA Live but NBA 2K is far from perfect

I have just played a game of Live 09. I can't believe how much better the graphics are than what this video shows. In my opinion, Live 09 had the best graphics any Live game ever had (not talking about how accurate each face, but the total package).

Why does EA downgrade the graphics (or gameplay...?) every time they seem to be on the right track?
 
# 896 Subversion @ 08/25/12 08:40 PM
Why would it be a marketing ploy? Same thing happened with Elite 11 and the entire project was cancelled. EA would never want this to happen. You would think they'd take precautions this time around, but maybe they know this franchise is dead and made one last ditch effort. Which from the looks of it, is the last effort that will be made.

Not really, When the Elite 11 videos popped up I remember the dev saying it could be a week or two old. Not months and "pre-alpha" old.

With that said, I think it's newer then that. And the game will be a Xbox live Arcade game, which would explain the Low skin textures and no Jersey physics... Among other things. lol

Now I have a couple of the AC members (s/o to thaliveking) on my Twitter and they're cool peeps but I need my Operation Sports family and their critical ways in there to ensure what we complain about in these forums is heard on the next level. If our suggestions aren't making it higher than their is no reason for me to make it to the counter. 2k listens to their fans and they have a game that most will enjoy despite its flaws. EA totally ignores one of the most influential communities on the net and has a terrible game. I'd think they'd put 2 and 2 together one day.

Edit: And I motion to get this forum moved to 'The Other Basketball Games' forum once its cancelled. Do I hear a second?
What ever happen to the group of people that EA Sports got to rep the sim nation? What do they have to say about this? Remember this?

They are on a NDA or whatever its called when they aren't allowed to talk about it.

Edit: Their MyNBALivePad site is pretty dead -- I follow a couple of them on Twitter. They seem more active on there.
