CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

[NASIR2385]

man i cant believe EA really accepted defeat like this. it just goes to show that the big dogs at EA were just trying to woo everybody it thinking "elite" was revolutionary and in reality its just and arcade basketball game aimed at a audience that really doesn't have basketball as its top sport but to get the crowd that dosent have a clue of how bball works and get them. I'm not surprised by this just disappointed. as a sim and real life baller i clearly think in (2010) your focus as a designer should be to put out the best quality and best image of what your trying to capture in a video game at this point. im not bashing EA by no means because ive bought and supported this genre for along time, but those days are over with accepting LOW quality work and thinking its a masterpiece.

Great move by EA! Finally a company realizes that their product isn't ready and delays the release. This is a momentous day in video gaming!

Yep
EA saw our reflections about their "great new" game, and cancel it.

I don`t believe that elite 11 will be an average game (far far away from good game). They broke it and they know it. Leave elite 11 and focus on elite 12. No chance for this season to beat 2k. No chance.

This is the truth.

Who can from ****ty game make a good game in 3 months ? Don`t joke with us.

How soon we can expect the Live 10 roster update is the real question.

I think it's a good move because RELEASING an unfinished game is worse for your brand than releasing a bad demo. Hopefully, they heard the community and will release a decent game that they can build on. I think they would lose more people releasing Elite 11 than not releasing it

I think they should just scrap it altogether. Get the Live 10 engine and start working on their 2012 game. I don't wanna hear **** about opening up the market share..c'mon son.

I look forward to Elite 12. I hope that they set a new standard in basketball gaming.
