Seems EA don't have much respect to customers...

After playing the game (and almost breaking my hands pounding on my table..) I realised that EA didn't put as much work as they should have (or were expacted to) in this year's game.
I also got the impression that a lot of the guys who worked on this year's game are not true NBA fans, hell ,probably some of them never watched more than 10 basketball games their entire life. The rosters are not updated to at least last month's rosters (a lot of players are not even in the game, even drafted rookies) and they even managed to ruin the pro-hop move which a lot of us really like to use.
The next-gen version looks great, but maybe there are other people in the world who are still playing the PC version?? (PC rocks!) They even cutted the textures' resolution of the jerseys and CFs from 512*512 to 256*256, they should improve the graphics every year not the opposite... How hard can it be to spend 2 minutes for each jersey to make it look more like the real jersey and match some colors? (the Bobcats jerseys looks like they were taken from a cartoon..)
The gameplay bugs are the real issue. I mean, we are used to patch all of the CFs, jerseys, courts and other stuff like that but bugs like Gasol can't dunk or the CPU waits the entire 24 second to shoot make my head hurt.
I don't really have trust in EA that they can fix all the bugs posted in this forum and even if they will release a fix, it will be months away (by the time it will be almost next year..) and it will be needed of fixs itself by the awesome patchers in this forum... I just wonder if it's worth wasting our time waiting for the EA guys to start paying attention to the little people who actually play the game (and want to enjoy it too)...

I don't think we should wait for a new fix. I think we should just buy a different game.

why is EA the sole developer of PC NBA games? the way the series is deteriorating, i might end my PC gaming days soon....
still playing live '05 coz '06 was a disappointment for me, thought 07 would save the day but 07 was is worse than '06..
EA guys..what have you been smoking? or are you sadists who like to keep us, your loyal followers ,longing for the next NBA live series, making us hope that the next live would be better only to disappoint us, and to a point enrage and make us feel like going postal over your office

We need to start patching , ( or dont buy the game ) because EA have 4 lazy , drunk , marihuana smokers and retard MONKEYS making the nba live series.
Some stupid things made by EA:
1) The jerseys are 256*256 like in NBA LIVE 2005 ... Why ??
2) Show the game with great jerseys and textures .... and sell us the PS2 version
3) Test the game and dont notice the BIG bugs.
4) Still no bench animations
5) and much much MORE!!
Ah ... someone contact 2K sports because i want a basketball game for PC.
Bye , im going to play nba live 2001

Here's my post in the other thread:
As for me, I suggest that the great patchers of NLSC and any other site/forum should also stop making patches. Why? Because if they don't it's like letting EA do the patchers their job. I think that's what they think too, that "NLSC's patchers are there to patch the game for us." So I suggest we make a complete boycott of the game until EA listens to us, the ones who paid them our hardearned money just to get a game such as this.
