CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

Great move by EA, now I can buy both games. I'm always happy to see delays as it makes for a more polished project.

Do you really think EA is doing this because it's the right thing? Or because so many people had so many bad things to say and they feel like putting it out would cost them more in poor sells then delaying or cancelling?

I don't see it like that at all. They saw the overwhelming amount of negative feedback, and felt it was necessary to go back to the drawing board and fix what people felt were negatives.

I'm also pissed about getting rid of my Live 10. I will be repurchasing though as I'm not totally pleased with the other title neither.

You really don't know what you're talking about....

After this long delay, if it's still not any good EA should just quit making roundball games

Come on everyone.....this may be a good move by EA but man....WTF! This game sucked so bad they had to cancel this sh**!!! LOL

I mean to me this is hilarious. I was gonna buy this game once the price dropped like I always do(I get 2k on release day....Live/elite later), but damn! This is just hilarious. Pair this along with the videos on Youtube....we have a comedy.

I kind of echo this sentiment as well. I don't want to go overboard in praising EA, they obviously had some numbers which told them that the sales were not going to be good at all, and possibly do more harm than good. Only question is why didn't they just take this year off altogether and come back w/ Elite 12, but I guess that's MMQBing.
