CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

LOL at people thanking EA, the game has already been pressed. They are in teh buy back from retailer mode. Games are pressed almost a month before release maybe even 2 weeks at most. This game was going to bomb sales wise. Its wouldve looked bad for EA, so this is there "Save Face" moment.

Wow! I have not been on here in a few days and thought this was a joke. EA, you have gotten some of my respect back by not releasing a subpar game and taken consumers money. You were not getting mine this year anyway but at least you are seeing that this game was going to bomb big time and then you would lose even more costumers to 2k and you cant afford to lose any more of us. Hope you get things worked out and put a great game together for next year. you better put out a top notch game that is not buggy or all will be lost for good.

If anything, they need to just dump the Elite engine or take what works from it and incorporate into Live 10. Live 10 was good and there was no reason to dump that great foundation for one that could be 2-3 years away from working right, if ever.

this will benefit EA sports in the long run.
this gives them time to really tighten up the game, and at the same time may sell enough copies to make a profit.
by then folks will probably be looking for a fresh bball game.

good luck to them, even though Im a 2k fanboy!!!

This is big, I've never heard of this. The demo was bad but what transpired for this to happen. I think there is more then being told. All my boys were hype about nba jam but not elite. So elite would have sold because of nba jam. LoL conspiracy time............What if madden was pushed back a month or something. One things for sure, we are being heard and sub-par games are not going to be pushed out. Hopefully that is true.
