Per Kyrie Irving

Just left @EASPORTS and got a sneak peak of #NBALIVE13 with the @EASPORTSNBA team. Head to their FB page on Monday for more info.

For those that don't know it is, http://www.facebook.com/EASPORTSNBA

Also, new Facebook logo for them

Seeing how far we are, should we expect anything big? I mean there's still what 7 months before it'll hit stores.

[JaoSming]

Hopefully we don't get too much PR fluff, but that is what I would expect. All I want to know is the direction or focus of the new game, what platforms (PC PLEASE) it will be released on, and hopefully an in-game screenshot or video and not some prerendered bullshot.


If you want a screenshot of the game (possibly) already, take a look at the screen behind Kyrie

Wood, lines, lots of darkness and shadows.....yep, it might be a basketball game

I called it in the reveal thread from hiphopgamer. Allstar weekend

[Ermolli]

So HHG was somewhat right, I hope it is something quite big because it isn't like they can't show anything about the game after all this time.

Uhhh, what's that white fluid shooting across the bottom of the image.

[JaoSming]

nvm the fluid, look at the size of that hand!

[fumanchu]

maybe hands are gonna be big much like in NBA Jam where the heads are big.....steals are gonna be hard to come by...

that man looks Durant

I wouldn't expect too much, like Jon said it's likely going to be introductory stuff; hype, promotion, a few hints about the game. Concrete details will come later, but we'll be doing what we can to get that kind of info to everyone through interviews and the like.

I'm looking forward to the info next week, hoping for some interesting tidbits and promising news.

[Jhiane]

I will give up playing 2k if there will be a pc release

[J-Hood]

We have a new studio and a new development team, and this fall we’ll launch an all-new experience that captures the future of basketball with NBA LIVE 13. We’re looking forward to players giving us their feedback on the game, and next month we’ll welcome in fans from around the country to join in on the process of creating NBA LIVE 13 as well – more on that on Monday, so please make sure you follow our Facebook page and Twitter handle to get the latest information.

that man looks Durant

I was going to say the same but if you look closely that man has a headband so I'm not sure about him being KD.

[Andrew]

It may not even be any kind of hint as to the cover player, we could just be making assumptions there.

[Jhiane]

Durant could wear a headband anytime though

[k8be24]

I don't know, my initial thought was that the profile of the guy in the picture kind of looks like LeBron's... The headband seems a little too low though

I'm so excited for this game, I've been playing 2k for the last couple of years, because I think it was the better game, but EA HAS to come up with something great to re-establish their position in the market, and I think 2 years of developement is a very long time for a sports game. If they manage to implement some of the best features of their other sports franchises like FIFA or NHL, this game is going to be GREAT. Can't wait!

For comparison, a shot of LeBron in profile:

or it could be a generic silhouette clip art

[Andrew]

That's what I'm leaning towards.

[Sman21]

At a guess i would think the madden series sells better than NBA live series???
So if Madden series no longer gets pc versions i seriously doubt Nba live will ever be returning to pc.

[Andrew]

That may be the reality of the situation but we've certainly done all we can to demonstrate the desire and enthusiastic fanbase for basketball games on the PC. All we can do now is wait and hope for the best.

White jersey with black trim. Player with headband and monster size hands and elbow-sized knuckles. Milk or cream splashes. Hmm...


There is some white liquid coming out of the ball in his hand.

[Andrew]

Hmm...well, that'd be pretty big for a comeback release, LeBron as the cover player.

[Mavs4Life]

The slogan's "the future of basketball" though right? Wouldn't BG or KD be more of an appropriate choice?

[Andrew]

Perhaps, but it's not like LeBron's on his way out.
