You could play the NBA Live '07 version online while you wait for the new '08 version to come out. I don't see this as a big deal. All those games are around 2 years or older.

I don't think this will affect very many people. For those it affects, I've seen College football '07 and Madden '07 for less than $15 used.belcherboy wrote:actually i meant to say 07 instead of 06 lol.shukcb04 wrote:i don't play the games online, but this is a bunch of crap. the new nba live doesnt even come out until early october at best but they are discontinuing online play for 06 more than a month in advance?? wow, way for EA to really let down fans yet again, what a surprise. if it weren't for the fact that nba live is about the only basketball game on a PC that can even come close to resembling decency (the 06 incarnation was horrible), i would refuse to deal with ea sports.Well the '06 version is nearly two years old.
