When will we hear NBA Live 13 cover news and features news

[JerrodSwanson22]

I was wondering when will we hear NBA Live 13 cover news and features news. i hope its tomorrow but who knows and game suppose come out in october 2012.

"Soon" but then it's subjective because I've hear that word about Live 13 news but one don't really know how much time soon could be.

[JerrodSwanson22]

i talked to dragon4thq on twitter he said it be august for NBA Live 13 features and cover because thats when members of EA Advisory Council returns to EA Tiburon and 22cedric saids it be could be tomorrow because Advisory Council returns to EA Tiburon but i dont know who to believe but not going believe anything until i see it.

Ah i figured something out today by looking at EA Sports NBA facebook page
July 5th they posted NBA Live 05 cover
July 12th they posted NBA Live 06 cover
July 19th they posted NBA Live 07 cover
These are my predictions to the pattern
July 26th they will post NBA Live 08 cover
August 2nd they will post NBA Live 09 cover
August 9th they will post NBA Live 10 cover
August 16th they will post NBA Elite 11 cover
August 23rd they will probably reveal and post NBA Live 13 cover i cant confirm that but thats my guess because of the pattern of old covers i pretty sure i make all you fans happy if im correct we shall find out

[Ermolli]

I've realized that patter too but I don't think they'll post the Elite cover because it's bring bad memories and because KD is in the 2K13 cover.

[22cedric]

Yea I saw the cover pattern also I think they will unveil the NBA Live 13 cover somtime in august may guess is August 16th.

[Andrew]

That's not a bad guess, they certainly could be leading up to that.

As we're getting into late July, I'm guessing "soon" is quickly becoming "very soon". Both EA and 2K have been fairly quiet since E3 but I'm expecting things to heat up as we move into August.

[Patr1ck]

According to the producer in this video, he said 4-6 weeks a month ago. If it's accurate, the cover should be this week or next. Although, I did the timeline thing as well and if they show all the covers of games that were released, August 16th would be the reveal date. That's a bit late, but they do have an "unexpected, unconventional, disruptive strategy planned."

[Andrew]

Come to think of it, they'd probably avoid posting the NBA Elite 11 cover. In that case, August 16th may be the date.

[JerrodSwanson22]

ya its either August 16th or August 23rd for NBA Live 13 cover announcement but atleast i figured something out on Sun Jul 22, 2012 7:41 pm atleast we have a good idea i posted that sunday night at 7:41pm just to make NBA Live 13 fans happy and when to expect news LOL

[benji]

They're waiting on the cover until Darko signs. Book it.

[Patr1ck]

Meds. Take them.

[benji]

You're not the boss of me.

[Patr1ck]

Will you please take your meds?

[Hiteshom]

It is looking like that idea is gone as they didn't post the 08 cover yesterday

[Patr1ck]

They did a poll for what covers they were going to show on http://www.facebook.com/easports and NBA Live 08 wasn't even one of the choices. They are still doing Throwback Thursdays but I we can all clearly guess that it has nothing to do with counting down to a cover release.

[JerrodSwanson22]

EA Sports NBA facebook page didnt post NBA Live 08 cover yesterday apparently somebody is sleeping on the job lazy to post NBA Live 08 cover lol.

[dfish]

Hopefully soon, man. I'm getting anxious, because 2K12 just didn't do it for me. I still think NBA Live 10 is great.

Certainly seems that way. First couple of weeks of August is probably still a decent guess though.

[dfish]

You'd think Live would be trying to get information out sooner to stir buzz and pressure 2K.

[Andrew]

I'd suggest they're being careful to put their best foot forward after some of the poor impressions at E3.

Both 2K and Live released old alpha screenshots and videos I believe. I don't think the hardcore DLC buying virtual basketball fans looked to much into it.

[Andrew]

After the debacle with NBA Elite 11, EA Sports can't really afford any bad publicity. We're almost in August, I can't imagine it's going to be much longer before the info starts to flow from both companies.

Live is the underdog this time. They'll wait for 2K to stumble, or just release something and play the old game of "1-up", which is interesting. I'm anxiously awaiting the marketing battle.

[Patr1ck]

It seems that both companies are almost at a stalemate in terms of marketing. They may be playing one up or waiting for the other to release information first. I think it will be interesting to see the back and forth that might occur.
