While the NBA Live 13 trailer shows the game in action, according to Kotaku, it might be the last we see of it, for quite some time.

Quote:


	Questioned by Kotaku, an EA Sports spokesman refused to discuss release format, time frame, or the game's anticipated feature set. Asked why this series, which has been off shelves for three years, couldn't hit an Oct. 2 release date with a 70-man team in place for a year, he said: "We're not going to get into that level of detail with this announcement. In early April, you saw where we were with this project and how ambitious it was, that they had to take down the code of Elite and rebuild it. Its easy to surmise that also took time, in the development cycle, to get the whole thing up to speed. It was an ambitious project and it is a challenging game to create."

Lol at EA. They need to throw in the towel and just give up. 2K Sports has them beat in this category. The only thing I liked from that trailer was the faces. Everything else still needed work.

WOW, faces look amazing, but everything else is fail, stiffness, lag or framerate still present even though it seemed they tried to hide it, dunks and animation look horrendous, its just not up to par like it should be after taking 3 yrs off, would make a excellent game for ps vita, but for this gen consoles, its just not there in my opinion!

You guys are bugging! That trailer was great. Please take off the 2k glasses guys. The player faces look great. Just because they go a different direction in body art doesnt mean its bad. Doesnt 2k have a problem with guys looking way more brolic than they really are and live has a tendency for all the guys to look lean! The hate for this game is comical, untill ea releases gameplay i will save my comments for gameplay

Does EA Sports make any good sports games anymore?

# 85 yaboythecib @ 09/13/12 06:31 PM

why would ea release this trailer and then accounce a indefinite delay.... iight trailer tho...

# 86 SwagDoc101 @ 09/13/12 06:38 PM

only way ea can compete if they just tear this game appart from the ground up start fresh... i still see dunk animations from live 98. theres no signature style. every player moves exactly the same whether a dunk,layup,jumpshot ,pass or block. just so disappointed in the franchise that made the first game (lakers vs celtics) i had for my sega genesis. all i can do is smh

Well maybe next gen will be better for them. I hope.

It was challenging to create?

Fire the entire team.

Hire people who rise to the challenge, who know how to program a game.

EA you make billions of dollars, surely you're not strapped for programming talent?

I've got some friends who you can hire that will make you a great basketball game in half the time it takes you to make another Live game.

The graphics are spectacular. But they look like stiff, show floor mannequins. If you combined Live's graphics and crowd with 2k's gameplay, you'd have a hell of a basketball game.

# 95 statum71 @ 09/13/12 06:52 PM

Time to face it.........

Basketball just isn't their sport. 2k has owned basketball. Sony has all but mastered baseball.

EA's specialty is Soccer and Hockey now days. Period.

Even the basket and the net look cheapy... EA should rebuild everything and I mean EVERYTHING.

# 98 ForeverVersatile @ 09/13/12 06:53 PM

Pretty sure that wasn't live gameplay like you see in the 2K trailers.
