EA Sports delays NBA Live 15 by three weeks

4.5
In an effort to polish the game further, EA Sports has delayed the launch of NBA Live 15 by several weeks. The game will now launch on October 28 instead of October 7, the same day as its competitor, NBA 2K15. Word of the delay comes via an open letter from Executive Producer Sean O'Brien on the publisher's site.

"We think we've come a long way since the launches of the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 last November, and we're still working on tuning certain areas in 5-on-5 gameplay," O'Brien said. EA Sports will start discussing the game's updates with more frequency in the coming weeks through its new gameplay blog, as well. O'Brien's made a habit of drafting open letters for the public; in November, he admitted that the developer has "a lot of work to do" following the launch of NBA Live 14, and then stated the team has "a lot to prove" in June. NBA Live 15 is in development for Xbox One and PS4.

EA has a bit of a history with delaying, then eventually canceling games in the series, as both NBA Live 13 and NBA Elite 11 were canceled in September 2012 and November 2010, respectively.

Ache Do people seriously purchase these games?

Is it just me or does this seem really boring? If you want to play basketball go outside and play it... That would be more fun, wouldn't it?


I suppose it's all down to the persons interest in the sport. I wouldn't play it.

I have always felt the same way about sports games and what not, but lots of people buy these types of games every year so they are doing very well and maybe it is just you and I that are the weird ones for not buying these games xD

I agree with you on that but it is like Fifa once you have a few games you just lose interest in playing the game and you move on for a while and come back to it, well that's what it is like for me while playing NBA.
