Those crappy games sold enough to justify their existence, this game wasn't going to sell at all.Originally posted by BlzerLet me assure you that I am a huge proponent of size, and it greatly matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :) -

The reason peter moore sucks, remember all that crap he was talking? peter moore love to talk crap, but not necessarily motivate
Originally posted by Peter Moore. "I’m not quite sure what [Jordan on the cover] signifies, quite frankly," he said. "We haven’t announced our player yet, but we tend to be forward thinking about our franchises. I mean, I’m a huge Michael Jordan fan, but in the same way that I don’t put Pelé on the cover of FIFA, we have the young up and coming stars. You’re going to see that again from us with NBA. We never went after Jordan. They have done it; it’s an interesting marketing move to use a retired player. I don’t know how they intend to use it. Michael Jordan? Well yeah, greatest player to ever play the game. [At the] same time, it's strange for the consumer... what does it signify?"
Moore added, "They’ve got a great product and I’m sure their cover boy isn’t going to impact that."
didn't NCAA football had a retired player on the cover? as well as madden? Mike Vs Tyson anyone? Fight Night?
at least he gave them props#dairyfreeComment

Now wouldn't had been just smarter to just spend 2-5 million on more staffing to produce a well-polished product? This is what saddens me the most. Do things right the first time and situations like this will be less likely.The poster formerly know as "FLIGHTWHITE"Comment

No matter how many people you've got working on a game, you need time and more importantly a clear vision for the game. Elite 11 certainly didn't have the former, and the jury's still out on the latter (that's being VERY charitable).Comment

yep he said it.
Before Peter Moore, People thought that EA was an arrogant multi-billion dollar company. With Moore, everytime he talks, it just reinforces that negative imagery.
The guy must have a brilliant mind or else they wouldn't have hired him, but I think he needs to do his desk work and stfu.
also i remember when he use to work for microsoft, dude is hilarious even when he tries to b seriousLast edited by yungflo; 09-30-2010, 03:26 AM.#dairyfreeComment

The lure of Jordan being in a game for the first time in years plus all of the additions in 2K11 did it. Jordan in the game is bringing back guys who haven't played video games in a while. People who don't even play sports games anymore. Guys like my 30+ year old friends who--like me-- remember watching Jordan and instantly pre ordered the game. 2K pulled out the big guns. They are on the top now..no where to go but down. It will be interesting to see how the community handles having only one dog in the race. Game changer--they beat the bullys cross eyed cousin. Now I'm sure with losing this money MORE HEADS are going to focus on NBA LIVE/ELITE. It will be interesting.Comment

First off Pachter is an idiot.
Duyuhhhhh lets see… 1.1 mil copies X $59.99 = $60 mil in lost revenues. Oops. Looks like someone forgot that retailers actually have to make a profit. Please don’t ever post another quote from this guy.
2nd no way this game sells a million copies. I hope he wasn’t quoting the EA sales forecast because obviously they had no clue what was going on.Comment
