NBA Jam ? w00t 0_o Thankfully I don't buy any sports games. I hope they are talking about NBA Jam disc based version not the On fire downloadable one

DOMination-4154d ago

I can understand the need to shut down servers. But doing it for games that only came out last year is a bit ridiculous.

I normally try and defend EA on here because I don't think they are as bad as many people make them out to be but but this would annoy me if I owned any of these games.

"EA Sports Server Shutdowns"

... and that is why I don't buy EA sports games.

RAYMEISTER4154d ago (Edited 4154d ago )

They're probably following 2k's lead. 2k has already shut down nba 2k12 servers. Which means the average life expectancy u can get from playing nba 2k13 (if u were to buy it now) would be about 10 months. Don't expect to play online longer than that. That means there product is a NO buy for me. If they offered LAN option on the pc side u could always use Tunngle to play online, but they don't so there's no way to play online.

torchic4154d ago

wow they shut down 2K12 servers already???

at least EA gives people 2-3 years to play online, wow. nobody can complain about EA now

and to be fair to EA they shut servers down based on what percentage of people still play online. I remember them saying that they shut servers down which make up less than 1% of traffic across all EA servers, at least that's what they say.

brish4154d ago

"nobody can complain about EA now"
- torchic

Yes we can. 2k sports are also on my "no buy" list.

Dark5tar14154d ago

They better not mean On Fire Edition.

Dark5tar14154d ago

"The decision to retire older EA titles is never easy." That's also what they said when they shut down the servers for BF2: MC.

NicSage4154d ago

I think maybe with the release of pay for your own server on BF3 this is what EA might continue to use for all games giving an option for people who want to play it online.

I'm so sick of EA and all the BS, i'm sick of a lot of publishers anymore.

Hilarious things happen when video-game physics go wrong

DSOGaming writes: "This article was inspired by a video that Elias Peppas shared with me. YouTube’s member ‘HelixSnake’ made a compilation of some epic physics fails from Skate 3. And this made us wonder; what could possibly go wrong in a video-game when physics engine go insane? Well, the answer is quite simple. You can get some gay stuff thanks to the Impact Engine of Fifa 12 & 13, spinning cars, boobs that can go up and down, and games with non-existent collisions (yeah, we’re talking about the legendary ‘Big Rigs’ game)."

Lol that Saints Row 3 one :p -- Damn now I feel like playing the game again..

bayport4200d ago (Edited 4200d ago )

Lol the Skate 3 vid looked more like a Garry's Mod vid

Lol @ one of the youtube comments

"Go home Physics, you're drunk"

PS3Freak4200d ago

I used to play a lot of Skate 3, so watching that entire video made me cry laughing.

SolidStoner4200d ago

I never played football games, I didn't know they are so gay!

knowyourstuff4200d ago

When game physics go wrong?

More like when game physics go *right* lol

ado9084200d ago

Idk why you got 7 disagree's. Although I thought the skating vid was funny especially when the guy fixes the bench and puts it back in place and another guy runs into it and knocks the bench and him over

Myst4200d ago

Meh doesn't worry me much anymore. People disagree just to do so, to rile people's nerves or something else. I've come to expect it

*shrugs*

Snookies124201d ago

LOL! That freaking Skate 3 video collection was just amazing... I want that game now...

Myst4201d ago

Lmfao I just saw it and I haven't laughed that hard in a while my eyes are watery.

Relientk774200d ago

no_more_heroes4201d ago

wastedcells4201d ago (Edited 4201d ago )
