NBA Live 13 unveiling planned for tomorrow now cancelled...

[MrBill]

The unveiling of NBA Live '13 scheduled for the sports media event tomorrow has been cancelled according to Jon Robinson, ESPN gaming correspondent. If EA isn't ready to show it in August, one has to wonder how they can remain on track for the standard 1st Tuesday in October release (10/2) or even by the tipoff of the NBA season (10/30).

@ESPN_JRob Just got word that NBA Live will no longer be at the EA Sports media event tomorrow, but will have its own event at a later time.

2K is really hurting the Live team. They're really gonna have to push out something great this year to stand a chance.

Does anyone even play NBA Live anymore?

Does anyone even play NBA Live anymore?

kinda hard when they didn't release a game last year. I felt like I was one of the last live fans but after getting 2k the last couple of years I dont see myself getting Live.

My six year old cousin loves it. Says the 720 dunks are what are missing in basketball.

I use to love the NBA Live series....it's shameful for what they've let it become.

They need to bring back the endless FTs that was in Live 95.

What's up with Live being off of the EA Earnings Upcoming Releases List?

12:14 PM - August 1, 2012 by MMChrisS

I wrote last week about the silence surrounding EA and NBA Live 13.

What was going on? What was the game's status? Why haven't we heard anything?

EA did nothing to help that speculation yesterday when they reported to investors the latest on the company's financial status in their quarterly report. Ominously so, in the company's list of upcoming releases this season NBA Live is nowhere to be found. Is this a sign EA has given up on yet another NBA effort or are they delaying it or choosing not to advertise it at all? It definitely doesn't look good to the casual gamer as this is almost always a bad sign in our industry if a company isn't willing to include an upcoming big release game on their quarterly earnings report.

EA's reasoning for not including Live is simple -- they apparently have yet to officially announce the game so they didn't include it on their quarterly earnings. That's highly interesting considering EA has already put out advertising material for the game already, but we'll let it slide this time.

Sadly this series has gone down hill since NBA Live 06...

This was at one time my favorite EA sports game....i used to put in countless hours playing and editing NBA Live. EA really doesn't know what direction they want to go with NBA Live.

They've lost a great fan base because of their inability to compete with NBA 2K

Co-sign on what Playmakers said. I was a huge EA basketball gamer for years, since Bulls vs. Lakers. But I haven't touched the series since '05. 2k has its issues, but Live is pure shit now.

I wish Madden had this competition.
