CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

Seems like the right decision. More time doesn't necessarily mean a better game. I just hope the next time the game is set for release we're not told to feel the game and wait for a demo that only confirms what everyone was saying about the game in the first place.

I guess we'll see.

Agreed man

All you have to do is listen to the fans for a change and things will start to be different.

Aren't the physical discs made already since it is a week before the release date?

EA will have to buy back all those games that were shipped to stores.

Great move EA.

When did they stop working on Elite 11 and when have they started working again? I imagine they have been working through on a patch.

The big question is what are they going to improve? Hopefully they do like NCAA and put out a list of things the community can vote on. Look how well it worked for them NCAA 11 may be the best NCAA ever.

How much is EA losing here?..I'm sure Elite went to press to be shipped later this week...that's a lot of copies to melt

I can't remember this ever happening to any sports game so close to release..curious to know how long REAnimator has known?Before or after demo?

I applaud them for doing this and for not holding Jam hostage in the process

This is a good idea. But I don't know how much "better" then can make the game at this point. So far it's a disaster. And for all the guys who were saying it wasn't, I think this pretty much proves it was not a game that was ready to satisfy the customer or compete with 2k. I'm not sure this will be enough to prevent the series from being canceled. Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if they just cut their loses and scrap the series altogether.

They should have stayed the track they were on last year, instead of trying to reinvent their franchise. It didn't need a reinvention! It needed a few solid improvements on top of what Live 10 was. Good luck Live/Elite. I had thrown in the towel on Elite, but if you can turn things around, I'd personally give it another shot.

Does Kevin Durant also get a do over next year is the important question

Great news!!! Better Late than incomplete.....I know they better really push the visuals beyond NBA Live 10 and tweak those controls....Because the attempt was decent, just fell short, real short!!!

Win us back, EA because at the moment I'm not a happy camper! But this announcement, kind of made me smile and rejoice!!! rEAnimator and company listened to our cries.

2 thumbs up for updating Live 10 too, I hope the player models in the DNA updates actually look like themselves instead of generic models.

This was a great move. I just hope Elite can come back with a much improved game because of this.

NBA Jam will hit PS3 and 360 in November.

There actually hasn't been a date set to NBA JAM yet. The Wii version will still come out next week but the PS3 and 360 versions have only been announced as standalone titles with no specific date.

When more info comes out about this I will let all of you know.

Great move EA.

How is it a great move by EA, when the game is delayed 2011... games delayed doesn't nescarrilely make the game better....I don't think people will be thinking about buying a basketball game in januaray in 2011.... idk i think it was a bad move....cause now more customers will be buying 2k11

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

it doesn't matter what it looks like, or when the game ships, they got it right by doing this. This is the RIGHT call. Expect more information to be released in the next week or so.
