Exciting NBA Live 08 news coming?

NBA Live 08 Tony Parker

A few days ago it was mentioned in a blog on the NBA Live 08 website that there would be exciting news regarding Live this week. However I have found out that whatever it is will not be revealed until Monday the 24th.

No one really has a confident feel on what this news could be. Some have suggested the release date may be pushed up to next Tuesday, but its hard to believe EA would want to release Live on the same day as Halo 3. On the other hand it would still accomplish beating out NBA 2K8 to the store shelves. Both currently are set to be in stores on Tuesday October 2nd.

Regardless of what the news holds I am hoping to have my copy of Live early next week. Full impressions, comparisons to the Community Day build, and videos will follow soon after having it in hand. 

Update 9/24: I've just been informed that this announcement is now unlikely to come today. It should make its way out by the end of the week, possibly as early as tomorrow.

  • hhhmmmm....Okay i guess.

  • I don't think it'll be anything real significant to the fans of this title anyway, I think this has gotten way out of control and a bad idea on EA to blog it then fall back on announcing it.
  • Patience people lol, supposedly the announcement will be made today or tomorrow.

    It isn't about a change in release date, and it isn't feature related.

  • I wish it was the ability to import March Madness 08 rosters.
  • JR
    i dont think it's a price drop since tens of thousands probably already paid for this in full.
  • jeff

  • Anthony
    The end of this week, obviously shoots down an early release. Oh well, Halo 3 this week. I was hoping for Live too.

  • D isaiaj
    thx padre. and i agree with dante this is suppose to be a nice discussion we can agree to disagree some like live some 2k i like live lol.ill check back later tonight for this supposed news.
  • Dr. Louis
    Everybody listen, shut up and enjoy the damn games! Live vs. 2k8, who cares! Get a grip people. You are bickering over companies that do not know you. Keep a global outlook and take it for what it's worth!
    Knowlegde is Power!!!
  • joel thats what I did in the first place I spoke my mind But I was the one attacked for that? I did not come here to spark problems. But just as usual no one sees the first hit. It doesnt matter if its a ALL EA site or not, I have the right to make an opinion, Not the right to be called stupid for it.I made my point and I made two of them by seeing the behavior of the people here as well....your a good guy never had problems with you on here But like I told dante, Those two attacked me to begin with...Get them.
  • my aplogies to you dante, But I hold no apologies to those two who jumped on me to begin with what i first said, They want it to be like it's communism, agree with EA or nothing at all type of thing, not gonna happen. Since I respect you Dante I'll leave it at that because smart people like you don't deserve that. But these two need to wake up and understand that it's a game and two not every one is gonna fed their ego because I am not gonna agree.

    with that said I aplogize to those here but those two can sit and spin..
  • joel0078
    Well said Dante.

    Isiah, Padre isn't the be all to end all on Live news. He hasn't responded, so he obviously doesn't know a thing about it. As far as this other debate, art, just let him go. He has no idea of whats going on, he's stooped so low as to refer to you as "fartofical" and its obvious his maturity level is questionable, at best.

    Smartconsumer, you're entitled to your opinion, however there will be those who disagree with you, including myself. Like I said to someone earlier, Halo has Halo fans, not everyone in the world loves Halo. Live has Live fans and those fans are going to buy the game regardless of what day the game comes out. Its that easy, anyone who can't comprehend that is lacking in the common sense department. Your statement that releasing Live on the same day as Halo 3 would hurt sales is not accurate either. It may not get the amount of sales that EA is hoping for, but certainly there will be a large group of consumers who do buy the game. Anytime you release a game earlier than expected (especially a sports game that has a large fan base), you're only helping yourself and catering to what fans want.

    The point is, it may not sell out at the local game stores, but it will still sell. All this speculation has gotten a little out of control now. How about it stops for the time being and lets wait and see what this news is.

    One more thing.....Incase you hadn't noticed, this site primarily discusses EA games. If you're not a fan it would be appreciated if you did not waste your time or ours by coming here with the specific intent to to stir up trouble, rather than providing something intelligent and resourceful to say. Thanks.
  • deem yourself the knower of everything as much as you want by judging me by my age because I say things make just as much sense as me judging the amount of time you have on your hands every day to argue over a video game, there are more serious issues than for you ego to be fed with, Good day and live it with a purpose for once....
  • Dantecamp
    Hey guys, enough with it already. Let's calm dowm. Everybody can have their own point of view on any given news, game, company, etc. I think we should respect each other so we can keep this site from becoming what every other site out there has become: a fanboy's war of words. We keep checking here to know any intel about the topic, not to see you guys ripping each other.
    I'm out, peace.
  • "God you are just fucking retarded."

    those are your words chia since your judging me on intelligent wording, I'm the pot nice you meet you kettle.
  • "God you are just fucking retarded."

    those are your words chia since your judging me on intelligent wording, I'm the pot nice yo meet you kettle.
  • Its 9:30am on the west coast. I wouldnt think any sort of update would come until the afternoon.
  • D ISAIAH
    PADRE WHERE IS THIS SUPPOSED EXCITING NEWS???
  • chiahatesyou
    "chiahatesyou, Its ironic that you judge my age by what I wrote when you are the one who lowered your iq by how you mostly cussed me out talking about a company that can care less for you. But i’m the fucking retard?

    Pull the string, EA says

    SUCKER!

    oh and ps, two things just because a company has been around for long does not mean it’s good, it means that it has gotten by riding on the same theme and by the same dumb ass tardtasting customers(ie you).

    lastly, i told you and your other assclown clones that I am not a fan of any game company, so you have no base there,Support your EA all you want seems your mouth is full as well…peace hebitch."






    That's how I judge your age.

    Then what the fuck is your point besides the fact that fucking your mom is no longer an option for you. Maybe if you made any sense you wouldn't be taken as a fucking dumb ass.

    EA isn't in any financial danger is the point chiahatesyou was making I'm sure. But once again due to your limited lack of education and retardation you missed the point.
