Great move by EA! Finally a company realizes that their product isn't ready and delays the release. This is a momentous day in sports video gaming!

fixed.

This kind of thing happens all the time in video gaming just not the sports title.

LOL...what game doesn't need a patch these days? Isn't there already a patch wishlist thread over there?

ya there is....based off the DEMO.... no one has the game yet, so how would they know?... Correct?

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

totally agree with you man. i don't understand how this is a "great" move either. people are going to understand that one day that loyalty can hurt you sometimes.

I am SHOCKED EA Sports has a shred of integrity. I applaud this decision. The elite demo was absolutely GARBAGE. I can't help thinking all of the negative feedback on OS was pivotal in this decision being made. Score one for "the Internets".

EA , I say its very ballsy but its the right move and while you will take a hit , You have gained respect of a lot of gamers. I am also extremley pleased you will be updating Live 10 with rookies and rosters etc. My question is , when will that download come out? I am looking foward to your progress and wish you the best.

Honestly, go back to Live 10 and fix it up the right way. Do it honest

Exactly! Forget this whole reinvention crap. You don't need to reinvent the series from where it was last year. Live 10 was solid. You were on the right track! You should work from there. It only needed some slight adjustments and improvements. Guaranteed had you wouldn't made to many changes, come 10-5, the customers would have been happier with an "updated" version of live 10 than the garbage that was the demo/retail version of Elite 11.

PS: This really was a great decision. I have stated several times I was done with the series, this gives me hope that it could still turn itself around.

Bravo EA, the smartest, most sensible decision you could have possibly made.

I'm so happy!

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

who said it will be released in January? Last time I checked, October 2011 would be time for Elite '12 anyways. I hope they take a year off and get it right!

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

Whoever can get their hands on these made copies will be sitting on a gold mine!

Can anyone say collector item?

How embarrassing.

I knew I took the right stance being skeptical, even after certain guys came back from playing the game early and being overwhelmingly positive. Playing the demo for myself all but sealed the deal of how far off they were. I can't see how this game is looked at as one of their premier titles anymore...You think they would let this happen to Madden or FIFA? Let me answer that, no.

Excellent and mature decision from EA. Also great decision to continue to support NBA Life '10.

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011



Instead of waiting on numbers to talk (ala the College game) they finally listened to constructive criticism

When in 2011 will it be out? is the deadline next October?


They mention free DL's for Live '10 (which I may pick up) all season long...

This is the first time i like the direction of EA in years. Way to go!!

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

I'll say this much..we get this game in March like it now says on Gamestop's site,Ea cannot charge 60 for that and turn around and gouge the public for 60 again next October..A moot point most likely because I don't expect to see 11 and I believe EA acknowledged that was possible when they announced they would update Live 10 for the whole year.

Pretty wild when we are going to get Duke Nukem Forever but might not see an EA sports title
