Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011
Even as one of their largest supporters, I am very happy with the delay or cancellation of this game.
People over the last few pages, have done nothing but used this moment to kick EA sports while their down and come in here with all the fanboy talk about the other game. We get it, your a 2k person and you want to gloat, but please do it elsewhere. This is a perfect example of why we are in a situation where we got 1 title this season. Because of bias people like you.
These developers made a mistake to focus on 1 objective and it backfired, and I understand that time in development is the essence and you can get caught up. I also understand from a consumer point of view, of anything less than what Live 10 brought to the table is unacceptable and obviously someone at the HQ felt the same way.
Just the small sample we got to play was a poor representation of the NBA and to basketball as a whole. These guys have been removing feature after feature, each year and it's finally caught up with them.
Stick to a direction and roll forward don't change anymore, that should be primary objective. Build off what you already have and grow from it. I honestly believe if they would have built off Live 10, and just added animations, add the new presentation and more game modes. This game would have been just that: Elite.
The graphics engine they have is such a thing of beauty, when it's used properly. They've proven that, the gameplay in Live 10 was the best in years, player movement since Live 06 and on, has been nothing more than a poor representation of human motion and physics. This is where the dilemma is with this game and where the trouble begins.
Overall I hope they move forward and release a stellar product. If they decide to still release Elite 11, well better late than never! If they decide to way and just release Elite 12, well as long as it surpasses all things and ideas then I'll be great-full for that too.
