Countdown to NBA Live 13

[Andrew]

We're starting this a bit later than usual but given the lack of common jersey numbers above 55, that's probably for the best. Additionally, I've decided to have a thread in both the NBA Live 13 and NBA 2K13 sections; that way if you miss your favourite player in one countdown, you can try to post them in another.

The game is simple. Post pictures of players with jersey numbers that match the number of days left until the release of NBA Live 13 and NBA 2K13. One player per post, per day. If someone else takes the player you wanted to post, you'll have to choose someone else.

As with last year, you're allowed to get creative if you can't find pictures of certain players or no players wore the jersey number that matches the number of days left. That means you can use pictures of up to two players to add up to the day (eg Scott Pollard's #66 plus LeBron James' #6 = #72 for 72 days left), but only if there are no real jersey numbers available or they've all been posted already.

OFFICIAL COUNTDOWN:

This is the countdown we're going by. Note that this year, we're doing it properly. For example, if there is 64 days, X minutes and X seconds remaining in the countdown, that's 65 days remaining. It won't be 64 days remaining until we're down to 63 days, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.

That's about it. Any questions feel free to ask, otherwise let the game begin!

Is that release date by Live confirmed? I've read that several sites have different dates.

Too early, there. Just a reminder:

Remember guys, try to use up any players who actually wore the jersey number first, especially once we get down to 55 and below. You missed Scot Pollard for #66:



And for #65, I'll go with...

A bit late on that one, we were already down to 63 by the time you posted that.
