You ever get the game to fastbreak more consistently?

I wonder if that is something they can patch or use DNA updates to fix now

You are assuming they made this decision last night. I don't think this is the case at all. I think this was always an option and with so much horrible feedback, the game just never went to press.

Also, I'm not completely sure Elite 11 wont ship during this NBA season and I dont know if 2-3 months of development time will get this game even to the level of NBA Live 10.

How long is a development cycle on a sports game? My guess is about 7.5 to 8.5 months. If this release is pushed back to march they get another 6 months to improve.

We know this isnt true. A company will do whatever to make a profit. While I cant and wont blame you the employee. I think its pretty naive to think a company really cares about my feeling equally with my money.

I dont understand how in this day and age of the internet and forum sites like OS. How is it a company can be so out of touch with the majority of their base consumer? I already brought up what NCAA did with NCAA 11 this year. They (after producing moderate to poor games every year this gen) finally polled their consumers and as a result delivered maybe their best work in franchise history.

[ehh]

Damn in my seven and a half years on OS I have never seen the mods & super-mods get into it with devs like this lol. Nothing being held back.

Well lets not go doing flips now. While this might be at first glance a good move it means nothing if the do make BIG strides. I'm talking new player models, animations and all the little things we see on the court that EA has brushed to the side as not important enough. They have even more trust to build now since the dumped Live for Elite and it NEVER got out of the gate it was so bad.

Forget I even brought it up. Has nothing to do with this thread.

My bad.
