Quite smart and something more sports games should do instead of re-releasing a game with a few new added features and rookie class.. just update the rosters and keep working on the game until you are sure you have something special. Now that NBA Jam is a standalone product does that mean it will have all the features as the Wii version or its a PSN/XBLA release? also maybe they can add Move/Kinect support

now fix NCAA Basketball Mr. Moore

man i cant believe EA really accepted defeat like this. it just goes to show that the big dogs at EA were just trying to woo everybody it thinking "elite" was revolutionary and in reality its just and arcade basketball game aimed at a audience that really doesn't have basketball as its top sport but to get the crowd that dosent have a clue of how bball works and get them. I'm not surprised by this just disappointed. as a sim and real life baller i clearly think in (2010) your focus as a designer should be to put out the best quality and best image of what your trying to capture in a video game at this point. im not bashing EA by no means because ive bought and supported this genre for along time, but those days are over with accepting LOW quality work and thinking its a masterpiece.

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

Yep
EA saw our reflections about their "great new" game, and cancel it.

I don`t believe that elite 11 will be an average game (far far away from good game). They broke it and they know it. Leave elite 11 and focus on elite 12. No chance for this season to beat 2k. No chance.

This is the truth.

Who can from ****ty game make a good game in 3 months ? Don`t joke with us.

How soon we can expect the Live 10 roster update is the real question.

[Scriptures22]

How is it a great move by EA, when the game is delayed 2011... games delayed doesn't nescassariely 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

I think it's a good move because RELEASING an unfinished game is worse for your brand than releasing a bad demo. Hopefully, they heard the community and will release a decent game that they can build on. I think they would lose more people releasing Elite 11 than not releasing it

I think they should just scrap it altogether. Get the Live 10 engine and start working on their 2012 game. I don't wanna hear **** about opening up the market share..c'mon son.

Madden is good....you guys are just expecting it to cater to your every need.

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

I look forward to Elite 12. I hope that they set a new standard in basketball gaming.

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

Great news!!! Better Late than incomplete.....I know they better really push the visuals beyond NBA Live 10 and tweak those controls....Because the attempt was decent, just fell short, real short!!!

Win us back, EA because at the moment I'm not a happy camper! But this announcement, kind of made me smile and rejoice!!! rEAnimator and company listened to our cries.

2 thumbs up for updating Live 10 too, I hope the player models in the DNA updates actually look like themselves instead of generic models.

Agreed. I rather wait another 4-5 months and get a game I can really like instead of getting one now I hate and having to wait 12 months for some redemption. I wasnt buying Elite based on what I saw they may make a sell out of me when next week release was a definite no.

Re: CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

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

This is the most exciting nba elite news to hit the wire yet!now they've got me excited...but now this is cutting into nba elite 12s time,how will this work??I guess they just take it out of their vacation time and go right into 12...tsk tsk tsk,nonetheless I think I'm gonna purchase it if they can show they've made good use of this unspecified amount of extra time....
