NBA Live 13, the new basketball simulation from EA Sports, has a new video online, a leak which shows about 10 minutes of actual gameplay from the game.

The video was initially hosted on YouTube but Electronic Arts quickly moved to take it down and it can now only be found on Kotaku.

EA stated, “The video appears to be captured from a pre-alpha build months ago and is not an official EA Sports release. It does not represent a final build or feature set for NBA Live.”

There are elements in the leaked video which suggest that, as previously rumored by a number of sources, NBA Live 13 will only be released via digital distribution.

The NBA series of titles from EA Sports was suspended in 2010 after the company was worried about the quality of the experience.

Since then, EA dropped the Elite name and wants to make a fresh start with NBA Live 13.
