        NBA JAM for PS3 and 360 will be released as standalone versions. Once more info is available about this we will be sure to let all of you know.

          Waving the white towel huh EA...good move. Because I know they heard what Czar and the rest of the sim nation has said. EA wasn't ready. 2K is still light years away in simulation basketball. Plus they got Jordan! C'mon whats puckin' wit him?? lol

            Probably a good move... 2K11 already stole most of this game's thunder (and the demo kind of cemented that), so they can improve it and sneak in later in the year as an alternative for those who already got burned out on 2K11. If they made it slightly cheaper too, that would probably help (a la NFL 2K5)... but eating 4 months of sales is probably as much as the series can handle in terms of losing money.

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

                I was enjoying some aspects of it...but let's be brutally honest here, the game was a BETA (and an early one at that). Not even close to being worthy of charging people $60 to play.

                It would have been insulting to release it in the same state as the demo IMO.

                      Good move; but speaks volumes about the internal development at EA

                        Lets put out a demo for everyone to throw under the bus, then come back a week later to tell them that we have not finished our product and push back the original release date. FML EA lol

                          The question is, will NBA Elite 12 also be released in '11? I hope not...that would be less than a year of development time, unfortunately they basically screwed themselves over here. They will now have to release Elite 12 in 2012 and so on with the rest of the games, and 2k will continue to come out in the year previous. Meaning...who will wait 4 months when another basketball game is already out?

                              I'm glad but also it makes me sad. I think people will blame EA and the direction they are going for this and say "I told you so!" but it's true that Elite wasn't ready. It was not the idea; it was the execution.

                              It'd be prudent for them to take the whole year off and try to blend what they had with Live 10 and what they were trying to do with Elite.

                              Then they might have a game for the ages that is ground breaking. You can't just come with something so totally different... it'll put everyone off. You have to ease people in to change.

                              Edit: Live 10 w/ roster updates is still gonna be a great game.
