A cold PS3 basketball season without NBA Live 07

NBA Live 07 has been cancelled for the PS3 altogether. We repeat. NBA Live 07 has been cancelled for the PS3 altogether. Instead, you can expect it to come out next season as NBA Live 08.

This was the official statement coming from EA representatives when asked by IGN about updates on the game. Says David Tinson, Public Relations Manager of EA Canada, “We are concentrating our efforts on creating a spectacular NBA Street: Homecourt [instead of porting  NBA Live 07].”

Initially announced at E3 2006 back in May, the PS3 edition of NBA Live 07 showed how much of the unit’s technology can be utilized by the game. From the focusing on “Procedural Awareness Technology”, the video of the game as a work in progress seemed to be highly promising. That is, until EA Sports decided to just shelf it altogether. As to the real reason why they opted to discontinue the PS3 project of NBA Live 07, we can only guess. But here’s hoping that the next season will absolutely be for real.

The hardcourt’s definitely gonna be much colder this season without this game.

The NBA Homecourt, meanwhile, can be expected to land in retail stores by the first half of 2007.
