3 1/2 years ago. 3 1/2. And based off of game clips we have seen, this will be nothing like NBA elite 11. Will it be perfect? absolutely not. Will there be room for improvement? Absolutely. That won't stop it from being the best looking, and possibly playing MMA game we have seen. How about we wait till we get our hands on a demo on the 3rd before we say this game is gonna be a colossal failure like NBA elite 11.
