EA Sports delays NBA Live 15 by three weeks

4.5
In an effort to polish the game further, EA Sports has delayed the launch of NBA Live 15 by several weeks. The game will now launch on October 28 instead of October 7, the same day as its competitor, NBA 2K15. Word of the delay comes via an open letter from Executive Producer Sean O'Brien on the publisher's site.

"We think we've come a long way since the launches of the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 last November, and we're still working on tuning certain areas in 5-on-5 gameplay," O'Brien said. EA Sports will start discussing the game's updates with more frequency in the coming weeks through its new gameplay blog, as well. O'Brien's made a habit of drafting open letters for the public; in November, he admitted that the developer has "a lot of work to do" following the launch of NBA Live 14, and then stated the team has "a lot to prove" in June. NBA Live 15 is in development for Xbox One and PS4.

EA has a bit of a history with delaying, then eventually canceling games in the series, as both NBA Live 13 and NBA Elite 11 were canceled in September 2012 and November 2010, respectively.

Typical EA really, i'd be pretty mad if I played NBA

AchePosted:

I don't enjoy playing these games, I'd personally just rather go out and play in real life.

Same with any other sports games for that matter... I don't understand how playing it on a console is any more fun that playing in actual life.

This doesn't particularly bother me. I've never seen the appeal to sport related video games. You like sports, go outside and play sports then. It's that simple. Also, it's similar to Fifa and CoD, SSDD. Minimal updates with a new release every year to take more of the buyers money.

EthicsPosted:

I have played basketball games like this and I find them extremely difficult. I really don't know what it is about them.

Ache Do people seriously purchase these games?

Is it just me or does this seem really boring? If you want to play basketball go outside and play it... That would be more fun, wouldn't it?


That's the way I feel. But some people like playing as their favorite teams.


Oh you like call of duty or battlefield? why don't you just join the army?
like racing games? just get in your car and start racing people.
Oh you watch people on youtube play games? why don't you just play the games yourself?
Oh you play minecraft? why don't you learn carpentry?


Thats DEEEEEP, but i totally agree with you tbh mate

m8, taking a ball outside to play is different from 100.00% of things you just said.

I really enjoy the 2k games. This may have been a game I bought on release day...

OPPosted:
