Exactly.. that's a new way to make money. And someone can only imagine the headlines already: "Elite outsells 2k" ... Well, I think the attention JAM gets is nearly as high or maybe even higher than the attention ELITE gets because JAM really is something people are looking forward to with a smile on their faces...

But I'm not gonna do them the favour and buy elite now... hell no!
They are going to make more money out of the situation, they sure do, but they really mess around with a lot of people. Poor EA-move

This doesn't do anything for me at all. I was all excited to check what the big news was this morning, and then I get this. Oh well, it doesn't suck that they are giving us Jam, it just isn't anything that I care about.

I was wanting an announcement about being able to play either 29, 54, or 82 games in a dynasty. That is what is going to make me buy this game, not an NBA Jam code.

Hey the game was going to be $60 bucks anyway so you can't complain about this move. I personally have no interest in Jam but still a nice marketing move. I wonder how much I can sell the download code for on Ebay?

Seriously though, now that EA has Magic and other legends for the Wii can someone please explain to me why we can't have them on Live? I realize there is no shot at Jordan but give us something.

I was going to buy ELite 11......I was going to buy Jam off the PSN when it became available.

So....this is a win win situation. Great announcement !

I would guess it is motion controls, but maybe there is an option for the old-school controller.

k, i found the controls in a GameSpot preview

Hold Z for turbo, hit A to pass, and flick the remote up in the air to shoot, dunk, block, or do anything that requires jumping into the air.
Holding Z and pressing B will do an ankle-breaker crossover, holding B after grabbing a rebound will throw a flurry of elbows, and holding C and flicking the remote will perform a pump fake.

Oh come on don't be foolish^^ They wouldn't have decided to do it this way if it wouldn't be profitable. Don't even think that way that you're getting 2 for 1 here^^ Plus, you don't get the whole experience..

I don't get how a person could say ''poor move'' ea. That's a great news and a smart move by ea, you get to have 2 different kind of game one for simulation one for arcade and fun, so cheers.

I'm looking forward to elite 11 so hopefully i get to play jam,too. Great.
