Re: NBA Elite?

When does the name of this section of the forums change?

Re: NBA Elite?

I don't really care if the name changes...as long as the gameplay matches the "elite" status, we will all be okay.

They are going to definitely peak interest with the new title....now they have created more pressure to deliver a STRONG title. Let the countdown begin.

Re: NBA Elite?

The name change was due to the fact, that the NBA Live series has been poorly represented throughout the last 4 years prior to NBA Live 10.

The team sees a new direction and a new level of basketball gaming and they believe they can bring EA basketball to a new and better light.

So changing the name is also like starting fresh and from this day forward. NBA Elite will carry it's own name and history. It's not a bad thing, plus people that are familiar with the Live name, won't turn their heads away when the marketing begins. They'll be curious to what it is, and when they see the graphics, gameplay, presentation, etc.

It will help the sales....Just have to wait and see. Like Pared said," wait and see"!

Damn, I agreed with something Pared said....You know the Devil is somewhere shopping for sweaters....

Re: NBA Elite?

Like others have said, it's to branch off and start something new. Despite the big jumps in Live the last 2 years, the negative stigma associated with NBA "Live" has remained, so it's not a bad move. They could've picked a better name though, but this really is do-or-die for them now

I would have just called it NBA Basketball 11...

Elite doesn't sound like it even, has anything to do with basketball. Sound's like a Nike Shoe brand or something....

Re: NBA Elite?

Yeah....horrible choice. I know it's only a name but I love the Live name. To me it's like an EA NFL game not being named Madden, just doesn't seem right.

BTW NBA Elite is a horrible name. Sounds like an arcade game like NBA Ballers or NBA Unrivaled.

I highly doubt that was his reason for leaving.

If ANYTHING it was probably because of the new analog heavy controls... just a guess though.
