There's no "wow, well done EA" here.......this is simply damage control.

I dont mean to thump myself on the chest, but I got a couple of PMs from rEAnimator after I did my CPU AI video.....he said they were 'looking into some things', and I guess..umm...they are LOL.

While it is the 'right' thing to do, I do agree that they were more or less shamed into doing it.

I'm forgiving though, as long as the extra time is well spent.

Why are people praising EA? WTF. I don't understand this. The game was trash from the gate. They need to scrap the engine and rebuild it from scratch. LOL @ "GOOD JOB EA"

WOW!! Glad I logged in tonight! I was telling cats here on OS a couple months ago Elite was going to be TP this year. I am actually glad to see EA pull it. At least the better game, NBA Jam, will make it to market.

My question is now that 2K has the entire market to themselves, will we see some consumer love? Say, $15 off retail price? Would be a great move to get their product into more hands.

who said it was coming out in January? It could be delayed until next november for all we know. They will probably keep Durant on the cover and just make it Elite 12. They are basically just taking a year off of sales.

Plenty of people watch NBA basketball in November. Also they are contractually obligated to release a game in October.

Got it. Didnt know that.

Anyway..I think Im going to cop me a copy of Live 10 again, on 2k release date as well.

Do we know if online is going to be functional?

If so, anyone want to set up a league? lol

wow...this was not expected...but it is greatly appreciated EA Sports just got a round of mad respect for doing the right thing by your consumers.....thanks

Now as it relates to NBA Live 10 anything you guys would be willing to do to make the gameplay better in the mean time would be a good first step to repairing the confidence in your customer base...consider it a gesture of good faith.

Blackflash I know you're reading every response....please do what you can to make this happen I really did like Live 10 for the most part and since it's clear Elite won't be ready anytime soon....fixing up live would seem the next logical choice to passify the masses...(just sayin)

Hopefully this means we can get NBA Jam on XBLA without having to buy NBA Elite (not that I was planning on it anyway).
