Wow — I hadn’t read the OS report on Live. That game sounds horrible. Wonder if they’ll cancel it again before the release date.

  Of course you do.
  
  THOUGH, I will say this: If it looks bad then negativity is warranted. And it seems like the current build didn’t impress the people who saw it. Meh, it’s whatever, if Live is bad I may decide to buy 2k13, or I may not. Depends.

    Jizwaan, you sleigh me with your deadpan humor. What an instant change of heart. You crash test dummy.

        You’re right, I am dumb. Dumb enough to go in your mom’s ass without lube. What was I thinking? Sheesh…

        Ouch.
      - Crimson
        
        Did you read what Operation Sports though of the new NBA Jam, er, um…I mean NBA Live 13? Same thing actually.

        Well I may go take a look. But I don’t ride with games every year. If I like a game, I buy it. If I don’t, then I won’t. And that’s all dependent on whether my money could be better spent at the time. I never said I was buying Live, I was just interested.
        
        I’m also interested in Brazilian girls with big tits and butts. Doesn’t mean Im gonna fly out there to get one, does it?

      You’re right. I love crashing in your mom’s bed after a wild night.

        Damn, so you like them big old grandma drawers, huh?
        
        You is nasty.

Would love to see some video of NCAA 13 Dynasty!
Please STOP BUYING MADDEN

If Madden is a top selling game this year and the NFL and EA renews the license?! I’m personally blaming everyone on this site and everyone in the video game industry. If the license is renewed I will give up on the football genre of games until PS4 or Xbox (whatever) comes out. No more sites or looking up info for me. I will be devastated if EA and NFL renew the license beyond 2014. Enough is enough. The damage has gone on long enough. I beg for everyone to rent this game first. Stop supporting EA when there is other companies that can make football games 100x better than EA sports.

Can someone at E3 please ask these question?

1. Will we see more pnetialies being called and balanced correctly?
With the new engine they are able to detect players getting in early to break up passes and their momemtum carrying them into the reciever, risk getting pass inference called.

The new engine detect helmet hits. So can we see players trying to come in and clean someone off and get helmet to helmet personal foul thrown or even so late hits?
Sharriod

And one more question.

Will we be able to adjust formation sub and sub frequency?

Keith EA stock up!!! Lol Madden bet win here I come.

  I saw that…although, to be fair, it was the biggest day for the market this year (TTWO had a nice day as well). I’m listening to the EA investor conference call now — here’s a link if you’re interested. They’re promising to go “deeper than usual” on their “platform plans”:

    Nevermind — so far it’s been 20 minutes listening to Ricotello and crew talking about how they’re the best positioned to further “monitize” their consumers in the near and distant future. Arrogant bastards.
    - Keith.
      
      Edit — “monetize”
      - Crimson
        
        In other words, ” we are in better position to rape these loyal mutherfuckers until they bleed.”
        ” Get Jwaan in here. NOW!!!”
      - Keith.
        
        Ricotello just said that “Consumers actually seem to be pleased to pay [for DLC],” when discussing BF3′s new $50 service. What a douche bag.

        At your service, bitch. What would the bitch like today? The bitch’s brew?
      - Crimson
        
        LOL

LOL…sounds like NBA Live 13 was built off of the NBA Jam engine.

NBA 2K13 is gonna bury this EA franchise once and for all.
- Crimson
  
  Some clown’s been posting here that thinks the guys over at Kokatu know something about basketball.
  
  Oh,…did I forget to repost the link to a slightly more reputable source on how well NBA Live13 is shaping up?
  
  Thanks Pasta for the link. http://www.operationsports.com/previews/148/nba-live-13/
