Because they don't want to lose too much money after the game gets beat by 2K.

Let's face it, 2K is just too set in stone and too good of a game. I know Live probably has upgraded their game after a 3 year hiatus, but the odds of beating 2K at this point are slim.

I mean "BounceTek?" Come on.

qu1ckset4637d ago

Live 05 was the last one I bought, Live 06 was crap!

THamm4637d ago

EA only competes with itself. I don't think they perceive the great sports games made by others and go off that. The franchises sell by name only, not quality.

lsujester4637d ago

Depends on the sport, really. While Madden and Live stagnated over the years, games like FIFA and NHL have improved a lot, becoming better than their competition. Not to mention that the Fight Night games were good, and UFC is looking to also have some quality. EA even had the best baseball game until they lost the licensing.

To me, I don't think EA is expecting Live to beat out 2K this year. Seems more likely that they won't to get their foot in the door so they can compete in the future. Hopefully they haven't ruined it with their broken engine and hiatus from the current generation.

When Live 13 was cancelled, I mentioned that they might as well start from scratch on PS4/New Xbox.Now I'm not so sure as the installed base would be too small for PS4 and XBUno.

But also im glad that it will concentrate on next gen.

LordDhampire4637d ago

Because they realise ps3 and xbox 360 are for cheap plebs, they are dead Long Live PS4 and XBone

SlyFamous024637d ago

You sound like a kid whos daddy buys him every thing wants.

LordDhampire4631d ago

Or someone who actually works for their money, and knows how to manage it so they have no problem saving up when something is announced ages in advanced
If your over 18 and can't save up 400 dollars in that many months you shouldn't be buying or playing games at all, you are wasting your money you clearly can't afford the 60 on games
, and I don't want my taxes paying for your wellfare

DarkHeroZX4637d ago

70+ million and still selling is dead? Excuse me while I wait to play destiny online on my ps3 for free.

robotgargoyle4637d ago

NBA 2K is still the de facto basketball sim to beat, but it's about time somebody stepped up and challenged them. Competition is good. Wish Madden had a competition.

I think gameplay and animations are about where they need to be, but i sometimes wonder if the NFL license is hamstringing features and additions a non licensed game would have no problem parlaying.

My ideas would equate to a better football sim. Cooler teams and logos, stadiums. Better scouting, more customization in every aspect. who needs the NFL when you can watch it Sunday, Mondays, and Thursday's. Play your game the way to want to. Local adverts on stadium billboards to add unique authenticity to each city venue, different commentating teams so commentary doesn't get so stale.

Why so many updates with NBA Live 14?

When NBA Live 14 was released last November, the reviews, as stated before, weren’t flattering. Many fours and fives were given out to the franchise’s first title in four years, which didn’t sit well with the development team at EA Sports.

These low scores lead the team to realize that they couldn’t just wait until NBA Live 15 was released to address a lot of the issues. Instead, they worked countless hours to prepare gameplay and visual updates to NBA Live 14 to prove to their audience that they weren’t just in it for the money.

“We got hammered, and we didn’t like seeing the scores that were coming in,” executive producer Sean O’Brien said.

Some pretty good deals here but this is for Europe only.

djplonker4395d ago

Yeah they need to put "eu" or "na" in the title... eu didn't get those 0.99 flash sales awhile back :(

user14394144395d ago

PS Nation are here again giving the FANS what they want. XoXoXo

UltimateMaster4395d ago

Pretty nice, but I got what I needed.

jacksons984395d ago

@tiqila
They had some nice deals two weeks ago for Vita during their Golden Week sale. I picked up several games Y's, Persona, Muramasa and Chrono cross.

cellur1114395d ago

They weren't that exciting.

Yi-Long4394d ago

Was thinking about picking up SoulCalibur 5, but it's not the complete version (including DLC), so I won't bother.

Other than that, I seem to have most of the stuff I would want.

Soon MS will copy the discounts too.... or do they do that already.

AceBlazer134395d ago

Think they announced it yesterday. Xblg members will now have discounts like PS+ along with the subscription model. So they don't keep their games when their gold runs out.

InMyOpinion4395d ago

I'm a happy PS4 owner now but one thing I experienced MS did better when I gamed on the 360 was their deals.

The deals for the PS4 have been meager so far, to put it nicely.

Blink_444395d ago

Why would you care if they copied Sonys strategy? It's good for consumers.

jacksons984395d ago

@InMyOpinion
I've gotten Resogun, Contrast, Don't Starve, Stick it to the Man, some other crappy game, and Outlast all free on PS4.. Don't think Xbox One owners have anything like that.

nowitzki20044395d ago

@jacksons

Yeah resogun was surprisingly great and addictive. What was free on xone?

InMyOpinion4395d ago

I meant discounts, as in lowered prices for selected games.

Two sports titles with a minimal following outside of the US dropped to a still unreasonable 45 quid... At 20 I may have been tempted just to play a bit of 2 player here and there... no chance at that cost.

Baka-akaB4395d ago

Wow the list of deals blows compared to what we've seen with us flash and spring sales lately .
Especially when i remember the Atlus sales in US .

And on PS4 really ? you can't afford even a meager 10 off on decent retail games ? Nba live wich no one wants and Madden with the new one looming over ?

TRS_Gear4395d ago

Why is Europe always getting these sick deals? What about the folks in the States?

djplonker4395d ago (Edited 4395d ago )

http://blog.us.playstation....

killzone:sf is also $84 on the psn store in europe... na always has better sales and cheaper prices overall

;)

speedforce1314395d ago

We have our share of bad sales too and no we don't have cheaper prices overall. Not for people living here.

To you, it seems like that, because your money is worth more than ours. Everything is cheaper in your eyes.

Baka-akaB4395d ago (Edited 4395d ago )

Still it's not about just "importing" digital cheaper thanks to rate exchange .

There are deal more often , especially from publishers that dont even have an european office .

Today's list is still quite a few stuff that was already free in the instant collection , very old , or not really that cheaper with sequels incoming . BAre a few exceptions of course .

Instant collection stuff is usually better in EU , but the sales ? Nah

Ghost_Nappa4395d ago

$84 What the actual fuck????

Eonjay4395d ago

There are literally hundreds of deals.
