Kotaku - Let's be candid. As a licensed sports video game, when your series hasn't been on shelves in three years—a gap not seen since the days games were played on cartridges—you really face just one expectation and it's a pretty low bar: Just come out. Launch. Release on time. Somehow, over the past week, NBA Live has left the dreadful message it could suffer the same embarassing fate as its NBA Elite ancestor, canceled in 2010 a week before it was due in stores.
For many years, EA’s NBA Live series was the premier basketball simulation for video gamers. They offered great graphics (at the time) and accessible enough gameplay to make the overall experience fun.
It seemed like the NBA Live series would go on forever much like the FIFA and Madden series. That is until recently when the NBA Live series went dormant. Will EA then revive NBA Live 14 for next generation consoles?
Hopefully im getting tire of 2k they are getting lazy and greedy with the stupid coin system
2k needs the compitition. Live is nothing compared to 2k but 2k has been lagging imo. Things as simple as rebounding are broken this year...shows how lax they are....like madden, I can only imagine how much better it would be if it had competition.
2k has glitches guys stealing balls with they back turned 3 point records being broke every game live please come back
kotaku.com: 2012 was a hell of a year for video games. We got a ton of fantastic games to play, surprises of all shapes, sizes, and colors. It was also a year of upheaval, when things often didn't go according to plan, and when many a game failed to live up to expectations.
Only thing they got right was the Collosal failure of Diablo 3 a game thats been run into the ground by lack of content running act 3 can only be fun for a while and bots.
GotGame: Is Cliff Blezinski's departure from Epic a cause for concern for Gears of War? Should EA retire NBA Live? Does the Wii U launch have you pumped? Find our what two of our staffers have to say.
There aren't many Vita games I would buy right now.
But purchasing a Vita would still be a good decisions for me personally because I never owned a PS1,Ps2,Ps3 or PSP. I get to play all but the PS3 games on the Vita. That is a huge back catalog of RPG's and other good games for me to play and most of those will be cheap since they are older games.
^ So considering that + the fact that Vita will be getting games for the next 5-8 years = I'm getting a Vita at some point.
I just don't want to rush in and get one the week before a sale like I did with 3DS.
I bought a 3DS at Gamestop, the next day they started offering Pilot Wings resort FREE with purchase. lol not for me though.
For it to miss another year would not be pretty. To me, the NBA games have the most room for improvement out of the major sports franchises, and 2K12 showed that there won't be any without some competition.
