Elite strikes me as a game made by people with limited knowledge of the sport...the game focuses on the most rudimentary parts of the game (dribbling, crossovers, shooting) and ignores the more complex parts of the game (strategy, AI, etc.)...this leads me to believe that there is not a lot of real basketball knowledge coming from Elite's leaders...i have a hard time believing true basketball fans could've produced a game like Elite. So, maybe one of their first steps should be to get a real basketball person in there to make sure everything is working like real basketball and to flesh out the AI and strategy so it is more authentic.

EA pay attention to this post.

And that's another thing, those sliders did absolutely nothing - if they put them in make them actually work

Those individual player edit sliders worked

ea went "wong" when they let go of wang.

I wonder if they'll only have a small group of people working on '11, and the rest of the staff start on '12??? What do you guys think???

[welcome2jungle]

they didnt even tell kevin durant dude who was on the cover the game was CANCEL.. major fail on Ea part they might not recover your downfall has to begin somewhere

[stateprop]

I hope nbe elite does get by this and they can recover because fans need competition from both companies. Without competition there wont be a great quality game ask Hardcore football game fans(MADDEN). IF Nba Elite is shutdown, NBA2k will be the next madden and i dont want that. Im crossing my fingers, hoping they return as soon as possible and hopefully no bad news about EA capping Elite.

obviously they are worried about nba 2k11 just eating they're lunch at the register lol i wish they would take as much time trying to make madden better by delaying it a year, oh wait they don't have to bc they bought the exclusive license...i hope and pray the nba and david stern don't sell they're soul to these guys in the future. the worst thing ever is when the nfl allowed ea to kill competition. 2k sports was on its way to taking the best selling football franchise title until ea got scared and snatched up the all exclusive rights...please don't let this happen with nba video games!
