    LMAO, here we go again. #3 years and these clowns still aren't ready? They might as well cancel the series altogether. How the ? are you not ready in three years on a game that's supposed to come out annually?

    What have they been doing all this time??? I don't like this trend of only having one sports game per sport to choose from. 2K is good and all but has it's flaws too. I still wish NFL 2K, Gameday, NCAA 2K, MVP Baseball, Sony's NBA game (although it sucked post PS1), and both college basketball games were still around for us to pick from.

    These ? need to just give up. ? aint put out live in years and still aint got that ? right. I wanted to see 2k have some competition so they won't be slacking but Live ain't it. That ? is dead.

    I definitely agree the genre needs more competition (see Madden) but whats different with 2K they lock the market down with quality, not a monopoly or exclusive rights. Its no reason why EA cant go back to Live 10 (the best since '05) and build off of that. But its the Management over there ? up.

    A couple of Live '04-'10 devs even posted on the EA blog post about how the suits were responsible

    Its so bad on the EA blog the when people kept asking them well just update Live '10 with new rosters, that they blocked the word "update" lol

    They might as well just put waaaayyyyy more focus on the madden series. Cause you know there is something wrong when the fifa & NHL series are selling way more copies than madden in north america!!!

    They should just keep patching Live 10 (which was a good game) with updated rosters and the BK Nets stuff. It would still be better than what Live 13 would have likely been. I'd even pay a reasonable fee for it.

    I will admit that the sports gaming industry is lacking variety in the selection of games you get to choose from. EA has the stranglehold on football gaming license, 2k has a stranglehold on the NBA gaming license basicially b/c Live has been canceled 3 yrs straight.

    Personally I will be glad when 2k can start back making NFL games b/c I ain't bought Madden since ps1 and every yr I download the demos it's the same ? every year. EA on the other hand just can't get right w/the Live franchise but every year each installment looks like or plays like ? .

    Live 2004 was the best installment I ever played in the entire series.

    blame the nfl for only wanting one company to make a game...

    Yeah not a very bright move by the NFL at the time to sign an exclusive contract they could had made much more money by having EA & 2K both come out w/2 different NFL franchise games. But the sports gaming industry is getting ridiculous with this monopolizing franchises though.
