The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

After two years off (and a cancelled name change), NBA Live was set to return for the 2012-2013 NBA season before it was officially cancelled on September 27, 2012. This marks the third year in a row that EA did not release an NBA simulation game.
