Whatever happened to the customer is always right? I really dont want to hear about hockey or fifa ever again in a basketball forum. NBA fans have gotten the short stick for far too long fellas.. and honestly, there should be a plan but not one where what we want as consumers are just thrown in because someone wants YMCA ball players to try the game. How about the ones who have been buying and waiting for years for certain things?

We obviously didn't do that. Honestly we didn't see many of those issues probably because it was so early in the process. I'm hoping to get back up there ASAP, I've already told the devs my bags are packed and ready to go.

rEAinmator has been quoted in saying something in the area of, they want to get the basketball players that don't play video games.(If need be I can find the statement). Which i thought was an odd statement to begin with. Although they wanted the casual gamers, i think they misjudge the approachability of Elite for casual gamers and the Voice of the Sim Gamer.

rEAnimator this is all I can say. Take the NBA Live 2010 and improve it and you guys will be alright. I actually purchased NBA Live 2010 and enjoyed it but there were somethings about it that turned me off like the Auto-Subs system and a few other things. But continue with NBA Live 2010 it was a good game.

ok, thanks.

I disagree with the last post. Take the Elite 11 we saw and improve on it. The controls are a solid foundation.

Please tell them don't go back to Live 10 if they are thinking about it. I don't care if it's from FIFA or NHL or ant other game. The demo showed me a new standard for bball game in gameplay and control. It could be an amazing game if they have enough time.

I hope that the "great Elite debacle" of 2010 will open EAs eyes on how to make a game. You don't need gimmicks if you deliver great game play and atmosphere. The hype will be created by the consumer. 2K 11 is the best thing robhappen to EA. I think there whole product line will be better because of it.

I think this could have happened to madden if 2K was still in football, cause that game is no where near where it should be at this point.

What an **** turn of events.

Yeah man, that was an example... but im sure you guys mentioned alot of things that many of us like, and its not there, and sometimes in place of some other technical unrealistic thing...

Forget sig stuff but lets put in off the backboard dunks
