Frustrated NBA Live 07 fans send letter to EA |
Ó

Which is what members of the NBA Live Series Center Forum, the largest community forum for the NBA Live series, have done after they played NBA Live 07 - and, well, hated it. Yep, these hardcore fans (as they describe themselves) hated the game enough, to write this open web letter to Electronic Arts to express their disappointment:
For us however, NBA Live 07 is the final straw... Until this release we overlooked any flaws in the game, ones that some of us considered major even if others of us considered them minor. But this release has ignited feelings that EA doesn't care about its fans, which is the reason we are writing today.
The open letter vocally accuses EA of ignoring the fans, from wish lists to bug fixes, not only in NBA Live, but, the letter writers say, in other places like FIFA and Battlefield 2 as well. While they have not entirely given up on EA and NBA Live - their petitions for patch fixes and other wish lists continue. But: If this continues it seems inevitable that more and more players will eventually give up on NBA Live.
You can read more on the letter at the source link below. We'd like to ask you this question, however: do you find NBA Live 07 as bad as these guys found it?

And 07 really wasn't that bad. I played it at a friends and while there were some glitches, it was fun. What's the alternative? NBA 2k7? lmao. EA pwns 2k in sports
Look at NHL 07 vs NHL 2K7. lol.

They advertise the game as being realistic. Those videos prove that the gamne doesnt deliver on that claim. So in FACT, they need to get a lawyer and sue EA for False Advertisement.
How realistic is a game when you throw a ball and it doesnt bounce. When you dunk and the ball goes from under the hoop and back in. When a person blocks a shot and flies accross the court. When players seem to have invisible hands that extend 4 feet away from their real hands and steal/rebound/pickup the ball without touching it.
False Advertisement, thats grounds enough to sue EA. They make crappy games everywhere invluding NFS. It has a whole range of bugs that I would rather not get into. EA sucks, competition is better.

(a) we (meaning QJ) didn't trash the game. Read the article carefully: "members of the NBA Live Series Center Forum" wrote the letter that's the subject of this article. Not us.
(b) well, some of the comments here also indicate that some people still enjoy the game - despite the flaws that caused the NBA Live SC Forum letter in the first place. So if they still want to, the link's there.
Hopefully this settles that matter.

@9: It's not ironic, it's another form of marketing. By saying "this product stinks so darn much... says THESE guys!" they're trying to suck you into actually CARING whether this game is good or not, even if you didn't earlier. Making you think and care about the product is one step closer to you actually playing and buying it. It seems like a strange move to make, telling people NOT to buy something, but sometimes it actually works much better than being all "Oh, this is so great, buy it!"... because people are getting so darn used to that kind of ads, that they don't even care about them anymore. Telling people to trust their own judgement, however, especially if you say something negative about your product or them trying it, is still a somewhat fresh marketing move.
I actually used a variation of this in a marketing campaignsrecent ly.. "don't use this product, it's effects are so good, you'll get into trouble if you try it!". It was a bit of an experiment... but I got like 3 times a better result than with my old "try it, you'll like it" kind of ad...

Seriously. EA gets hatemail a LOT worse than this on a daily basis on games that are perfectly fine. Why would they listen to 16 freaks on the internet about a game that they KNOW has issues?
Nothing will change until people STOP BUYING these games.
But for that to happen, there'd have to actually be something wrong with them. The fact that they sell so well, even AFTER everyone knows the issues with them, shows just how bad the game really is.
Personally, I hate sports and sports games and wouldn't buy one if it cured cancer. But these people need to learn how to deal with their issues.

The PSP one was Brilliant, how could you say it sucked, screw you

Theres like 6 sites that reccomend this game but if theres something i know about ign is that some of their reviews are buyed,like the Miami vice Movie,they give it a 9.0 when the movie sucked ass.
Also other sites reccomend this,so i dunno what to think?.
With a huge difference between scores i dont know if this is a Hate/Love Game or some of the reviews were from buyed sources.
Yet all agree that the PSP version is teh b3st.
This is to complicated,im getting MLB:The Show.
P.S It sucks , buy now?. Rolf Q.J

I think that there is something wrong with all the men that hate sports they must of not hade a positive male role model of something or are soft girly men that can't play any sports because they bruies easily
I've said enough I'm OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NBA LIVE 05 was the best

For EA, they have a different philosophy. Make as many games as we can as fast as we can in order to sell as much as we can. They love making those movie-to-game games, for quick money which always suck.
All the games i liked that are published by EA are DEVELOPED by ANOTHER company. Someone tell me one GOOD game that is DEVEOPED BY EA recently? Maybe we should check who develops the game before buying something from EA.

This won't change anything... the only way EA will change is if people stop buying the boxed crap they sell.

#30, what the Hell are you even talking about man? With your logic, you can say ANYTHING on this site is an ad. Like that 2.71 downgrader, you're saying, "Don't post that, it's an advertisement for downgrading a 2.71 PSP!" Did you ever think that they're not ads so much as they are actually just articles that have no intention in being ads whatsoever? "Omg EA's fans hate them, that sure makes me wanna buy NBA Liva 07, damn you ads!"
But the funniest thing about this whole post, was #26, obviously some type of mod for this site cleared up the big fuss about the "Buy" link after the article trashing the game... Then wouldn't you know, 2 posts later, #28 makes ANOTHER crack at the same joke that happened 18 times before him about the Buy link. Oh man I couldn't help but laugh at that stupid comment.

EA just wants to make money, they dont f'n care about what we think, people still buy their games
fifa 07 sucks, it's like fifa 06 with the teams updated...
NFS... every game they make is worst than the last one
oh, and The sims, you buy the game, you buy the expansion, you buy the expansion, you buy the expansion,..., you have the full collection of Sims 1, you see that you have wasted 300$+ on a SINGLE game and some crapy expansions, you buy Sims 2, you buy expansion, ....., you see that you've just wasted 600$+ on two crapy games, you want to shoot yourself
EA SUCKZ! only kids dont see that, they dont care, their parents pay the games, why should they care if it is well spent or not?
Sorryz for my bad englishz
