Discussion about NBA Live 2004.
Fri Aug 22, 2003 11:22 am
Dont know if this been posted or not but NBA Live 2004 is on ebay. The seller had 12 feedbacks at 100%. I emailed him and he confirmed its the full version. I'm skeptical about this since its 35 bucks with free shipping but If I pay with paypal I have nothing to loose. Can anyone confirm its authenticity?

Definitely fake.

Don't believe everything released on E-Bay...Some idiot on EBay says he got a song with 2Pac on it and he's sellin it for $500...
Don't believe they got the damn game when it is about 2 months from release.

most likely fake but it could be possible. A beta copy etc
Fri Aug 22, 2003 12:16 pm
I haven't seen this pic anywhere on the web. You never know these days with hackers and all--I'm sure they are testing Live right now as we speak--so anything is possible. It might not be the "final" version but he might have a beta.

I have seen that picture but the smaller version which that only shows the part where the backboard is.

Don't buy a game that you know isn't finished... That's just foolish.
No matter if you got nothing to loose. You could get into trouble as well as the seller if this info gets into EA's ears.

i think if u look at thoes jerseys, they have the old magic jerseys
real live would have had it updated

There's no way a buyer can get in trouble with EA, or anybody else for that manner. It's illegal to sell, yes, but never to buy.

Actually than how come people get arrested for buying stolen property? But I wouldn't buy it, even if it is the real deal. you can't be sure, so I would wait till october and buy the sure thing.

not even remotely close. it's an unfinished game, a test version, full of glitches.

hey vin15
that game cover of vince on the floor for 2004, thats just wrong dude!
LMAO
i hope he's mostly above the rim this year, not rolling around on the court
lol
sorry, off topic, i know

Don't be foolish to think that that ebay item is an authentic release of NBA Live 2004. Even as nba live 2003 was released around mid-october of last year, the team rosters in that version was updated as of October 1. And I expect NBA Live 2004 to be something similar to that.

the buyer said he worked for ea sports and gets all realeases early.
Sun Aug 24, 2003 5:39 am
here's the conversation between me and the ebay seller. You guys can draw your conclusions after reading.
Wolowu77: do you really have the nba live 2004?
Barganland03: YES
Wolowu77: Do u have a lot of people ask you that?
Wolowu77: i thought they werent done with the game
Wolowu77: how did you get the game if its not even done yet?
Barganland03: EA CONNECT
Wolowu77: so is it some sort of beta?
Barganland03: WHAT
Wolowu77: is the game a beta version?
Barganland03: REAL VERISON
Wolowu77: im telling you the game is not fully completed yet. its impossible for you to have the full version. Have you played the game?
Barganland03: YES I HAVE THE COMPLETED VERSION
Wolowu77: HAVE U PLAYED THE GAME YET?
Barganland03: YES, MY CHILDREN PLAY IT
Barganland03: EXCUSE ME BUT I HAVE TO LOGOFF
Wolowu77: ok
Barganland03: LATER

ask him to post some original screenshots of his game?
Sun Aug 24, 2003 6:27 am
If he worked at EA he is risking his job, If he has the game it wouldn't be hard for EA to track to find out who it is and fire his ass not to mention persecute him.
Either he's lying or is a complete jackass.
Sun Aug 24, 2003 7:19 am
the bid has gone upto 63 bucks. FUCK IT

. i am not getting it
Sun Aug 24, 2003 7:21 am
Well i must say....he's a smart bugger cause he will make some big bucks on this.

If you go on a chat board and tell us all that you are about to buy an illegal product, well this could come out at some point and the buyers defense of "I didn't know it was illegal stuff" goes out the window.
You really should never go for a deal like the one above.
And his comments about the originality of the product can be accurate, but he is risking his job. And he will not make any big money off of it anyway. An EA employee could have a test version of the game which is pretty much finished, but it is not the final product. There could be some bugs in the system that haven't just come up yet. You should ask if he's got the original packaging for the game too... I'm pretty sure he doesn't.

LMFAO. If you guys noticed in the bottom right corners of the two gameplay pictures you can see the ipix watermark.
