Release Date Thread

so we'll wait and c! i've got a copla guys, who can bring me the game in the day or two after it first release! that was last year and the year before! i've had live after 2 days after official release! so i'm waiting!

Right, Homie! We need couple days to wait until official release in Europe.

u can "pre=load" the game on ur pc. just cant play it until the 30th. but i had set my cpu to the 30th and it just let me "pre-load" it. meaning all the files are there but it cant be decrypted until the 30th

look here

this makes no sense to me. first, ea F___KS us up with a lemon in 07 that took the help of looser, lagou, and andrew to give this game a 1000% makeover fixing it like lve 08. ea ought to be ashamed of themselves and emarrassed. this company is going down hard with its basketball series. i spent my $45 too quick.

i tried turning my internet off and setting the date to 30. still no luck. downloader said please check your internet connection, your computer appears to be offline. so i reenabled it and still get the decryption error. why we goota pay to wait 30 days? thats like paying for a final four ticket now and waiting for the final four in march.

I agree, makes no sense, BUT IS TRUE, EA here in Brazil has NBA Live 08 for PC set for October 19 also: (the information is on the "próximos lançamentos" - at right side above the 2142 banner)

u bought yours thur download too

although ea sport told that the wii and pc version of the game will be on stores at 19 on october

i just wanna let u know that the wii version is on the net now

then mybe we will have some luck with the pc version and it will out earlier

so if u buy the downloadable version u can play it already since is october 2th? did anybody try?

From what people said last year, it remains locked until the official release date.

I saw news in esports official site and its says that nba on pc in europe will be on 19 of october and 30 in usa but i am full of optimizm and maybe nba will hit europe little earlier

It would be an odd turn of events but it's certainly worth noting.

why the hell does euopre get the PC version before the US, supposedly?! EA is a freaking american company for god sake!

yea this is one of the most frustrating thing i have heard or seen. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BUY EA OUT. like NLSC. cause NLSC does 100000X betta than ea sports. NLSC I WISH U COULD SELL EA OUT!

yes, lets all put in 2 dollars and buy it

Come on now, don't overpay.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO BUY EA OUT

I might be wrong, but I think EA is still by far the biggest game developer worldwide, so that may be complicated to buy them out...

http://www.electronicarts.fr/games/11147/ GOOD NEWS !!!!! IN France this game is now available... !!!! Yeah...

No PC version for Aus on the 4th....nxt chance i get to check will probably be the 11th.

ps3 and ps2 is already out here in the philippines, but no pc version yet.. huhu

Player__32 : since you live in France could you check if the game is in the stores? Don't trust that article, on NBA LIVE 08 US site they say the game is available but is not. I suggest you to go to some mall and check...i'm really curious to discover if they got it....

by the way they finally corrected EA STORE. Now the game release is dated october 31...it really looks like is coming out in europe first...

Live 08 PC version is said to be released october 25th, according to many webstores in France.
Maybe the 19th on digital download but nothing is said on ea store france, and I personnaly don't believe it.
I would even expect it to be released on november 1rst, since a few sites are giving that date.

I can't wait for the pc version to come out. I just wish that EA would correct their mistakes on the pc version. Mistakes such as lock edit etc.

Me too.. Who can tell me, what is oficial realease date for pc now?

just wait damn itll come out by the end of this month

based on the announcement of ea sports that i post earlier

october 19 in Europe

october 30 in North America
