No, NBA Live 13 Has Not Been Secretly Canceled

No, NBA Live 13 Has Not Been Secretly Canceled
Owen Good
Yesterday, Electronic Arts mentioned just three console and/or PC releases coming up between October and the end of the year, and NBA Live 13 was not on the list. Given the series' troubled history, an E3 reveal widely judged to be a flop, and near silence from EA Sports since then, sports gamers took this as a sign the franchise was in some kind of trouble.


Reached by Kotaku, an EA Sports representative for NBA Live said the game still has "a very aggressive launch plan, and the team is focused on bringing NBA Live back in a big way.

"The development team at our Tiburon studio is working hard to get the game to beta," the statement added, "and we'll have a hands-on experience later this summer."

NBA Live 13 should release Oct. 2, the same day as NBA 2K13. Sports simulations, including directly competing titles, generally release on a date fixed by the league that licenses them. No official release date has been given for NBA Live 13 though.

This edition should end EA Sports' three-year absence in the NBA simulation market, a hiatus brought on by a glitch-filled NBA Elite 11's cancellation one week before it was due to release in 2010.

Ill believe it when I see gameplay

I already posted this link in that NBA Live 13 cancelled thread.

Man it's over.

Not believing !! until I see something other than six gameplay photos. Who cares.

Live hasn't been good since '00. So why the hub bub. Honestly aside from NCAA EA doesn't make any good sports titles (I don't play NHL or Nascar so I can't speak on those). And NCAA is starting to get really redundant (a la Tiger Woods golf).

I would really love if the NFL would open up that license. Just to have NFL 2K push Madden would improve video game football no matter which one you prefer.

They'd be better off remaking '96, with updated team rosters, commentary and arenas.

A freaking rom hack of an earlier game is way better than the !! they've been doing with this series.

Trying to get to beta?? As in still in alpha? !! its August already, wtf are they waiting for? Man this !! aint coming out!! [pic]

Imagine if 2k had a football game

EA sports wouldn't be able to handle actually putting work into madden

same !! would happen

EA should've learned from their last !! up.
