I'll be getting it a little down the road. Probably the best sports game year in and year out

I don't get it. Why cancel it? They should sell it for cheap in order to recoup some of the money invested. They should fire whoever is in charge of the game development and hire some real pros.

My first instinct is to laugh at this news because from the outside looking in, it's been just one huge disaster after another for EA's basketball team these last few years.

On the flip side, I really do think it'd be nice to someday see another company's legitimate take on the game of basketball again. But I'm totally on both sides of the fence here. I want EA to really put some time in and create an awesome product, but then it's just kind of hilarious to watch them flim flam all about. I mean, they announced an indefinite delay on the same day they released their trailer. Who does that?

Thats what they had been doing but somehow failed.

:lol

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

EA's basketball franchise has been irrelevant since 2K's series came out! Now all we need is for their NFL monopoly to end so 2K can make a proper NFL game! :bowdown:

A new 2K NFL game would blow Madden away. I don't think EA is losing that license any time soon though.

I used to love NBA Live when i was younger, the last one I got was 2004 or 2005 I think with Melo on the cover. Didn't know the franchise got discontinued.

[QUOTE=Heavincent]A new 2K NFL game would blow Madden away. I don't think EA is losing that license any time soon though.[/QUOTE]I think the exclusive license ends in 2013, so I'll be curious to see if the NFL just mindlessly re-ups or once again introduces other competitors.

Why would any real pros want to work on a game that has been made 30 times already?

They should make another NBA Street. Those games were fun!

Exactly, tired of that garbage Madden crap

go to video games forum, a few of us have it..

Dafuq??? Wow lol, fail... I thought they were releasing it somewhat soon, even in its downloadable, shitty form. :hammerhead:

Well at least EA are willing to admit they suck and not release buggy PoS games.

Too bad 2k doesn't take that route too, their games have been utter trash for the last 3 years, anyone who can't admit that is just a sadcase fanboy...

HAHAHAHA OMG! AGAIN?! :roll: Oh man the millions and millions of dollars gone into that game WASTED :roll:

They'll probably save money doing so.

PES is better

how the mighty have fallen. I remember playing NBA Live like it was yesterday. :cry:

are they gonna keep making a game only to cancel it every time NBA 2k shows up better than before?

didn't they fire a bunch of people and started with new developers? now they cancel it. wow, what a waste of $.

lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Probably the biggest epic fail in disc media entertainment ever, that covers a lot of shyt lol. 2 out of 3 years yo shyt gets canceled, wtf, how is that possible. Out of all mass entertainment shyt in the history of life, I dont think any product ever was canceled twice with a free year in between, its like they took a break to get canceled again lmao. All these people who produced the game over these last few years still get paid too lmao. They gotta all be 2k spies of some shyt, failure like this has to be forced......... Right?

Damn shame.....NBA Live was the best BBall game for a minute and now it has come to this. Tisk tisk EA.

2K12 is best basketball game ever created.
2k13, going off the demo, seems even better.
Far, and I mean [B]FAR[/B] from 'utter trash'.

It was the best until 2K came out.

:confusedshrug:

They should just give up on making actual relevant basketball games and go the NBA Jam route of just using new players in the old format of the game. I know I would be interested in playing as LeBron and Co. on NBA Live 95.

[QUOTE=G-train]It was the best until 2K came out.

:confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]

I'd say there were at least a year or 2 when the Kobe's Courtside games were best.

Looooool. They're so dumb, they based the game off of NBA Elite when they could've based it off of Live 10 instead.

Yep, got it on Tuesday. Played a ton of it today, I'm pretty bad. :lol

id say its the biggest fail outside of Duke Nukem

Stop drinking the coolaid dude.
A game that can't even get something so simple as the passing mechanics correct (the devs even admitted this) is far from the best Basketball game ever.
I could literally write an essay on how many problems 2k's NBA games have had recently but why bother, blind fanboys will always be blind..

are you really gonna try and say 2k9 > 2k12? or live 10 > 2k12? are these actual thoughts you have?

Funny thing is, I remember when 2K used to be the red headed step child between the two. Then they decided to sell their game for 20 bucks. That was the greatest business decision since Henry Ford and his theory on paying his worker a live in wage

So you're saying 2kSports should take EA's lead and also not release their NBA game?

You do know that means there wouldn't be a simulation-style NBA game for this current season.... right??? :facepalm

Live 2000 actually. In terms of gameplay, the only thing I care about, that was the game that had the perfect control.

You knew they were in trouble when the first thing they talked about was how many man hours they spent on the players faces. seriously? It sounds like they went through the list of things people didn't like about the recent 2k games and tried to improve them with mixed results... then turned around and realized the rest of the game was still garbage. At e3 the press lady in charge of the Live theater practically threw herself in font of the door to keep people from seeing the game. It's that bad.

Really?? That was my biggest gripe about the Live franchise towards the end of its run... the faces simply weren't realistic enough.

Better faces = ultimate gaming experience :rockon:
