CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

Lol. EA shouldn't get props for not releasing a crappy game. The same approach needs to be given to Madden. If it ain't ready in August, it doesn't really have to be out before the start of the NFL regular season.

This is intelligent, I can't knock EA for this. I was one of the people who enjoyed the controls, yet retained the opinion that EA needed to clean the on court product up. Hopefully they're able to do that and ship us a solid product.

Excellent move by EA... I assume and expect that later we will read that the title its cancelled for this year. I believe that this will be the best action to take in order to improve the overall package.

I normally don't agree or like what EA does but this move right here deserves some applause. Instead of selling an incomplete game to the public, they decided to put extra time into its development. On top of that they will be providing updates for Live 10 throughout the season. This is a classy move that might win me over if Elite 11 or 12 shows improvement.

FYI for those who pre-ordered, you will just have to call whatever store you pre-ordered the game from and get your money back. Once a product has been recalled, stores legally can't sale a recalled product. I talked to some of my friends that are managers at Walmart and Kmart, their stores have already started repacking all their Elite games to get ready to ship it back to their warehouse. Which then will get shipped back to EA's warehouse. Which then will get recycled.

Best believe EA is paying a lot of money buying all those copies of Elite 11 back from stores.

I'm a little confused though. Are they pushing Elite 11 back to sometime in early 2011, or is Elite 11 essentially cancelled and they're just going to be working on it and releasing it as Elite 12 this time next year?

For now the game has been delayed. When additional information comes through I will let you all know.

Didn't see this one coming at all.

Hum!!! Very interesting. I wonder how much NBA Jam will cost.
