Of course the reason is money. However, I still believe it's a good move that should only mean positive things for the consumer. They've released a lot of bad games this generation, but this is the first time where the consumer feedback has been so strong that they had no choice but to listen and adjust. This is what we have been wanting, for EA to own up to the crap they've been releasing and make a real effort to please the consumers. I'm not pretending that it's due to their benevolence.

No I meant that would you seriously rather pay for a broken game as opposed to paying for a complete one? That makes absolutely no sense to me. I can't even imagine the thought process my man. I'm not going to get into the whole Live/Other game debate but I found that post of yours unbelievable. That much fanboyism can't be healthy.

Sorry you cant seem to understand that not everyone is alike. Im not buying a game because YOU like, it, i was buying it because i liked it.

good move...this game just wasnt ready for $60

Anyway.....getting back on topic here. Gamestop website says March 31st for $59.99. Clearly....that price will have to be cut in half.

I think a really smart thing for EA to do would be to hold another community day.

IDK if they're actually cancelling Elite 11 and releasing Elite 12 next October (makes the most sense to me), but regardless I think it would be a good idea to get some of the guys from this community that know basketball (23, Czar, Pared, DC, etc) and get their input again. It definitely wouldn't hurt at this point.

Just ignore the idiots. Best thing you can do because there's going to be a few people that want to pile on all of the negative EA press right now.

I completely understand that not everyone is alike. That wasn't the point. The point is that you are completely willing to spend 60 bucks on a product that by the maker's own admission is not up to standard. Is it the name of the company that makes you willing to do that?

A lot of super models are simply surface material. An attractive exterior with fundamental inner flaws. Beauty in an anorexic, self conscious, drug induced body.

Anyhow, we get that Elite was flawed, hence the delay. They've done well with revamping Fifa, NHL, and NCAA football, give em a chance.

Ok so 6months from now. Like I said thats almost an entire development cycle. Which makes me wonder will this delay Elite 12? Hopefully there is a crew working on 12 and 11.5 at the same time.
