Ea is known for pushin the date for the game back...... the nba season doesnt start till the 31st of octorber...... and the have the relase date on teh 7th..... too early....... look at madden.... the game is being released on the 14..... while the season starts less than 2 weeks after that...... expect it to be pushed back..... what yall think

October 7th is the latest date from EA, but of course that's subject to change.

But EA usually releases the games... A game that get delayed like two weeks, please. THAT'S NOT EVEN A DELAY!

Take a look at some eternity projects like Moo3 was and Black&White was etc. They are delayed. If Live is coming out next year, well then you should think that it's been delayed.

EA games have never been delayed... I'll say it again, a couple of weeks push back is not a delay.

Besides, the roster cut-off date is usually in September or even late August (as was the case for the console version of NBA Live 2003), so it really doesn't matter whether the game is released early or late October.

I hate that hte game is released at the start of the season... Cause look at Yao Ming last season... In the game he was rated 79, and averages 6 PPg, yet in the league like 22 games in he started to be a superstar! You don't get things like that in the NBA games... Thats just a small gripe

In Brazil the Live Series always released in November, but doesn´t matter it´s a import question because the game don´t have a portuguese version. And nobody likes the ratings of NENE, of course the only brazilian player in NBA(until the next season)

Yao Ming and Nene Hilario were still quite good in Live 2003... It's hard to predict how a rookie will do, but who was the most underrated rookie in Live 2003! Could it be Amare (overall 74) and not even a big dunker. And he slammed the living daylights out the whole season.

He was 10th pic of last summers draft or was he ninth... But anyway... This is what Live drafts need. The top three pics aren't always the best players coming out of the draft. There are players that just breakthrough and dominate. Wasn't Arenas a second round pic? And now he's one of the top point guards around there. This is what Live needs... The rookie drafts are too rigid and you can't get a decent player out of the top 20.

They usually put up the rosters in the game in september to early october. And I don't think the release date change would change the rosters.

It gets pushed back a couple of weeks, but I say again... A couple of weeks is no delay. A quarter would be a delay. A couple of weeks is just semantics.

the 2K series was never released in March...the PS2/Xbox/GC version of 2K2 were released later than the DC version because they had to do the ports while also waiting for the Xbox to come out...if that's what you're talking about...
