- Harold Biscocho
- Steve Bascombe
- Dougie Veney

We would like to thank everyone again for their participation and congratulations to the 8 Council Members!

Not recognizing any NLSCers either

It's a shame none of us made the cut for this particular initiative but I do see some familiar names on the list, so for what it's worth I believe they've put together a good council there. Mario from the official boards (clueminati017), who I know from previous community events, has also posted here in the past. Congrats to the eight council members, I believe they'll provide the Development Team with quality feedback.

Corey is an EA Game Changer as well.

Believe it or not boys, I'm on the list!!! I got the e-mail this morning!! Steve Bascombe is my real name!! I still can't believe it myself!!

no shit! dude that is awesome! congrats

Thanks, I been smiling all day because of this, I feel honored, I never get opportunities like this so I will definitely make the most out of it. I will make sure I give tons of input and also learn from these dev guys!! I really want the best out of this game and the franchise, especially the game play, I always talk about the game play LOL. I plan on coming home excited for NBA Live 13

Good stuff! Congrats.

Congrats man! Just remind them of giving us a good dynasty mode! )

damn, i'm a bit disappointed, i thought i had a really good chance... interesting that they pick someone who frequents the official boards, but i'm curious what you guys put in your email

I'm all about gameplay first LOL!! I'll do my best, I'm very open minded and experienced in the series so I should be fine with giving feedback!!!

Do me a favor, hit them over the head with the gimme customization stick (sliders, animation packages, gameface, create a team?) lol.

but yea, the only thing I really care about is the control scheme and whether or not there are alternate schemes for it. that is your mission

I'm all about gameplay first LOL!! I'll do my best, I'm very open minded and experienced in the series so I should be fine with giving feedback!!!

I'm guessing this is going to differ from a standard community event as far as reporting back afterwards but if you do have an opportunity to write something about the experience and the game itself, would you be interested in doing a write up for the NLSC?

Congrats to ThaLiveKing, great to have an NLSCer on the panel.

Im only going to speak for myself, but I wanted you guys to know, this forum is read. You guys have an awesome community here and we know you guys are passionate. You might not get everything you ask for but your suggestions are noted.

I make an effort to try to take it all in. I'll speak with Steve when he gets in, but you guys keep doing what you are doing and keep posting ideas.

It's awesome that you guys have continued to fight the good fight, hope to reward you with a great live.

Thanks for all the support.

Great to hear, Postgame. Appreciate you checking in.

Good to know that the team is reading this forum, I hope that this year's game becomes the #futureofbasketball as you're promoting it.

And a PC release of NBA Live...we can only hope.

+1. There is hope. At least the PC is present on the Wikipedia page in list of platforms...

I wouldn't read too much into that just yet, every year someone like Kwame Brown is temporarily listed as the upcoming cover player on Live or 2K's Wikipedia page. Of course, I certainly wouldn't be heartbroken if a PC release comes to pass.

Congrats on somebody from here getting on the council and it's nice to see a Live developer coming by.

Do me a favor, hit them over the head with the gimme customization stick (sliders, animation packages, gameface, create a team?) lol.

but yea, the only thing I really care about is the control scheme and whether or not there are alternate schemes for it. that is your mission

Yeah the control scheme is important, one of the biggest issues, especially since the response was bad for Elite, but I'm sure they're going back to the OG controls, hopefully turbo is back lol!!!

I plan on documenting information, but will only give info if i'm allowed, but I will be talking about my experience for sure!! I''ll do a write up for the site, I been here too long to say no lol

Congratulations man, please represent us well and give as much input as you can but besides that, have fun because those opportunities aren't often.

No Question, thanks for the support everybody!!!

We only want the best for this franchise

Also any questions you want me to ask, feel free to send em, I'll make notes of them, I want to have as much info as possible!!! I have the weekend off to go through a lot of brainstorming!!!

oo, actually I just thought of one little thing that means too much to me. Is the invisible barrier around the court still there? In 2K10+ the ball can sail into the crowd and not hit a barrier, just wondering if that will go over to 13.

and, just because it's me, find out if the off-the-backboard dunks are still in. In Elite it was only to yourself, in 2K it is only to a teammate, just curious what is going on there.

aahhhh, you're so lucky, but thanks for taking Qs.

Congratulations, ThaLiveKing! I'm glad somebody from this site was selected to go.

I would like to know if they have differentiated player types with more a variety of movement and dribbling animations.
