It's unfortunate, but I've learned from my own life that great things can happen when your back is against the wall. I hope this doesn't signify the death of EA NBA gaming this gen.

Good Move on EA's part. Keep the controls and make the environments and players more realistic. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to do this with more games. It is cool the will give free roster updates. 2k should do this with the MLB series...

Thats a good move. They promised so much, but they really need to do a complete overhaul of their graphics. The style of the game looks no different than it did with NBA Live 03 or NBA Live 05.

If they really want to take it to 2K, they will have to make those upgrades. Hopefully the game can be ready by January.

They are not going to be able to do anything significant by January.

So, EA is going to wait 'til the 2011-12 season to release the game. Wow, gutsy move. Seems like a smart decision for the long term outlook of the franchise. Hopefully, they use this time to combine what they were developing for Elite 11 with what they had going for them w/Live 10. I've not bought both BBall titles in a few years, but still, I like parity, variety, and choice. Here's hoping they use this additional time wisely.

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

Do you really think EA is doing this because it's the right thing? Or because so many people had so many bad things to say and they feel like putting it out would cost them more in poor sells then delaying or cancelling?

Of course the reason is money. However, I still believe it's a good move that should only mean positive things for the consumer. They've released a lot of bad games this generation, but this is the first time where the consumer feedback has been so strong that they had no choice but to listen and adjust. This is what we have been wanting, for EA to own up to the crap they've been releasing and make a real effort to please the consumers. I'm not pretending that it's due to their benevolence.

Yeah just got the call about 30 minutes ago. couldnt believe what i was hearing. quite weird 7 days before release. no basketball for me this year

No I meant that would you seriously rather pay for a broken game as opposed to paying for a complete one? That makes absolutely no sense to me. I can't even imagine the thought process my man. I'm not going to get into the whole Live/Other game debate but I found that post of yours unbelievable. That much fanboyism can't be healthy.

Sorry you cant seem to understand that not everyone is alike. Im not buying a game because YOU like, it, i was buying it because i liked it.

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

Anyway.....getting back on topic here. Gamestop website says March 31st for $59.99. Clearly....that price will have to be cut in half.

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

I think a really smart thing for EA to do would be to hold another community day.

IDK if they're actually cancelling Elite 11 and releasing Elite 12 next October (makes the most sense to me), but regardless I think it would be a good idea to get some of the guys from this community that know basketball (23, Czar, Pared, DC, etc) and get their input again. It definitely wouldn't hurt at this point.

You really don't know what you're talking about....

Just ignore the idiots. Best thing you can do because there's going to be a few people that want to pile on all of the negative EA press right now.

I completely understand that not everyone is alike. That wasn't the point. The point is that you are completely willing to spend 60 bucks on a product that by the maker's own admission is not up to standard. Is it the name of the company that makes you willing to do that?

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

Elite is like a sloppy fat girl. 2K is like a classy model. What one would you rather get in bed with? I think its obvious by your posts. That you'd take home the sloppy fat one. Take them beer goggles off guy!

A lot of super models are simply surface material. An attractive exterior with fundamental inner flaws. Beauty in an anorexic, self conscious, drug induced body.

Anyhow, we get that Elite was flawed, hence the delay. They've done well with revamping Fifa, NHL, and NCAA football, give em a chance.

Ok so 6months from now. Like I said thats almost an entire development cycle. Which makes me wonder will this delay Elite 12? Hopefully there is a crew working on 12 and 11.5 at the same time.

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

Dont know if this has been brought up, but I wonder if this could mean the return of NCAA Basketball next year as well? Maybe they are working on it too..?

Also, this is too bad. I really enjoyed Live 10, but in all honesty - Elite 11 just didn't look good at all.
