    Got it. Didnt know that.

    Anyway..I think Im going to cop me a copy of Live 10 again, on 2k release date as well.

    Do we know if online is going to be functional?

    If so, anyone want to set up a league? lol

      wow...this was not expected...but it is greatly appreciated EA Sports just got a round of mad respect for doing the right thing by your consumers.....thanks

      Now as it relates to NBA Live 10 anything you guys would be willing to do to make the gameplay better in the mean time would be a good first step to repairing the confidence in your customer base...consider it a gesture of good faith.

      Blackflash I know you're reading every response....please do what you can to make this happen I really did like Live 10 for the most part and since it's clear Elite won't be ready anytime soon....fixing up live would seem the next logical choice to passify the masses...(just sayin)

        Hopefully this means we can get NBA Jam on XBLA without having to buy NBA Elite (not that I was planning on it anyway).

          The next week or so I wouldn't want to be an EA developer thats for sure. I know they going to have yall in meetings and conference calls non stop. Peace be with you.

            I've heard this before. But if this is true how is it Elite is being pushed back months? Wouldnt this delay be a breach of contract?

                A move they had to make. that game is trash. the controls some of you are lauding were horrible. In the heat of battle in a tense possesion in the fourth quarter, you will not get the move you want,. you just wont. Gimmie a break. That alone was a deal breaker. The controls also werent camera relative, if you wanted to play broadcast view, the controls were still based on viewing at baseline low. Putting a shot stick on a dribble stick was as stupid as having two shot buttons all those years. In practice mode it looks and feels refreshing because Mike Breen is telling you how to use the controls, he doesnt show you how to effectively use them in game situations, and in that little demo time on the court, you cant do one thing right in that, not one, its almost laughable. The Cpu would take 3pt shots with the Center if the shot clock was running down. How can anyone say they had fun with the controls? Controlling what? Every dribble move worth doing results in a pump fake and the dribble stops. Shooting a good shot on a shot stick that is very stingy with the green area and you have to hold it for the rise of the jumpshot, gimmie a break. Garbage. No wonder the NBA 2K11 demo is short, the beauty in it is so vast, you don't need more time or more features. Why did EA ask us to create our player and log online, LMAO! In 2K11 everything is authentic, the gameplay is at near perfection, play calling, spacing, position play, star play, stick controls, cpu a.i. I could go on and on. EA Canada should hand over the franchise. EA has got to have other developers in their stable to produce something with more realism, more authenticity. I can't see how anyone who played that demo was gonna buy that game Oct 6. Some of you must have money to waste. Or you don't know what a good title is so you would buy both in hopes that you "get it right and get the one everyone else is playing"...I don't get how you would be ready to buy a title that the company itself admits was a Piece of Crap. They have been doing it to you guys since Live 04. Subpar rehash of last years title with snazzy feature sets on the back cover of the game, LMAO. Synergy DNA doesn't matter. take the shot stick of the damn dribble stick...lol

                  The blog doesn't say it'll be released in 2011. All it said was that it will be delayed.

                    I am guessing the suits at EA got wind of unpublished reviews and saw a tsunami of 4/10 type reviews and realised the long term damage that type of score would do to the series.

                    There's no "wow, well done EA" here.......this is simply damage control.
                    I completely agree. But honestly the game just had so many flaws to fix. When we kept hearing/video of the other game popping up and no videos or game in had from Elite, I had a feeling a delay was coming. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprise if the Early Jan/Feb officially becomes a official release date for the game until they feel like the quality is up to par to release along side the other. It also wouldn't surprise me that they announce that NBA Jam will be releasing next month via live/psn. There is still a market for that game right now. This decision is good for the long run if the quality of Elite is improved, but for the immediate future they missing a chance to rake in profit from the Free agency hype. But I'm saying it now, to get the game where there is sig shots, crossovers and foot planting, a loss of control will have to be sacrificed. There is no way around this. So for those people that was enjoying the "Killer Crossover" that Bynum had, you may want enjoy the demo why you can.

                      Great move on EA to not pass this under-developed game to the fan base. I was actually getting into the demo of late, the game is very rough around the edges though you can every now and then see some great things in the game play. I personally feel they should update Live 10 with DLC NBA 2011 content and put out Elite 12 next season - this would be the best move IMO.

                        So which is more important man... low score reviews or sales? Live 10 had some nice reviews out there.... the highest of the series

                          From Peter Moore:



                          -NBA JAM will launch on the Wii, as scheduled, on October 5. NBA JAM won recognition this summer as the best sports game at E3 and it’s a blast to play. In addition to the Wii version, we’re going to ship NBA JAM as a standalone product on the Xbox360 and PS3 in time for the holidays. Watch for more news soon on the exact timing of that release.
                          -For NBA LIVE 10 players, we will continue to offer free content and services throughout the 2010-11 season. We will start with a new roster update so you get all the players for the new season, free of charge. We will also provide free Dynamic DNA updates, daily, for the entire season. That’s a full season of basketball with new rosters and updates, free.

                            Shocking news for sure but at least EA realized how bad Elite currently is. As others have said, not sure it makes much sense to push the game back five months. Scraping it and going for next October is probably the best move because this game is lacking in literally every department except for controls. Even if some things get improved for a March release, what's '12 going to look like six months after '11 drops?

                              Throw in some SIG stuff and fix the AI

                              Maybe that can be done around Febuary who know's.....but those were the only issues i had with Elite it didn't look like basketball half the time.

                              Well it did but it was corny/goofy looking basketball..........LOL!
                              That would be ideal for sure LOL!

                              But more then likely they are going to try and clean up the game. Work on the AI issues and maybe make some tweaks to the shooting and animation problems.

                              I'm not expecting a big change but I think we may get something like a patched version of the final game without all the restrictions made by MS and Sony.

                              So maybe we'll get that speed slider back this year (should have been in, in the first place) along with some other tweaks we wouldn't get in an ordinary patch.
