That’s a full season of basketball with new rosters and updates, free. That's big news there. I think I may be able to find someone who will give me Live 10, so that'll be my "second game". I still really like this move. I just wonder how the graphics will look on the new rookies.

Definitely pleased to see this.

For the best, in the long term.

I just dont understand why companies just dont release their games later.

Id rather have a finished product that comes out in mid to late november or December.

Do we really need an NBA game in October, when the NBA is off the Radar until after the superbowl? lol.

That's what scares me. Despite the negative reactions, they still insist their stance. I know standing by what you believe in is good and all, but pride/stubbornness/ego got to take a backseat when the time calls for it. Nobody wants to rag on his/her own creation but c'mon, don't insult our intelligence by saying the game is this or that despite what we've seen otherwise.

Just like others have stated, this is an excellent move, good job elite. I'm not a elite player, but when i played the demo, it just didn't feel right. Plus, if you look at 2k11, it blows the current elite game out of the water. (hope that's not offensive). Anyway, this is very good news, and when they do bring it out, i'll buy it.

Hahaha, i hope my Youtube vid had something to do with it. Just search my name MrLux on Youtube.

Thats how I feel.

I know it makes some warm in fuzzy inside to think the suits over at EA said "You know what? The guys over at Operationsports.com werent too impressed with the demo, lets delay the release and put some more work into the game to address their concerns"

But I seriously doubt thats what happened. What I do know though, is that ReAn, Step etc. HAVE been listening to the community, and hopefully take that feedback back with them as they work on the new release

Once again I hope they release a wish/check list for the public to vote on for what they would like to see if not in 11.5 for 12. Like with NCAA let us choice the game we want instead of forcing their vision on us.
