CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

[tabulaRasa]

Is there a reason to be sad? I mean NBA2k11 seems to be a monster hit and the best SIM of BBall out there. Are people so brand loyal that they stick to a messed up series even though a wonderful BBall game coming out??

I know EA sells alot thru brand recognition but that would be plain stupid.

But you guys never released any direct feed video, even though In my opinion there are numerous statements here that just lead to false hope. The bottom line is this, you guys Over sold and Under produce.

I honestly never bought into that "we recorded off the screen" crap, because all my videos on youtube were recorded off screen and look fine. They were trying to make excuses or BS. My vids from Live 08 - Live 10 looked a way better than Elite, and they were all recorded in the same fashion.

They need to get some basketball heads in their camp, because any real basketball fan, would have looked at Elite and development and say something, unless they are YES Men!!!

And also those quick clips were decieving also, it made the game look playable and didn't show many flaws. I think from now on, if any company, whether it be 2k or EA, not releasing any videos of their game, and just going on and on about the features, I ain't buying or pre-ordering it, because with all the tech today, you can release your videos and show what you been working on. So we all know you have something to hide. Both companies have done it in the past, EA has done it more with Live 07, when they released gameplay footage like a week before its release. I'm suprised they released that game, that game should have been delayed LOL

YES! This is awesome news.

So do they have a half million copies of Elite 11 sitting in a warehouse somewhere (ship date is next tues)? Can they simply build a patch and ship these old copies? Will they have to tweak the game and then print more copies of the NBA Elite 11.1?

Regardless of what fixes they manage to accomplish in the next few months, they absolutely positively need to reduce the price of this game to 29.99. There are no amount of fixes that will help them against 2k this year.

1.really need to scrap the animation "engine" and start from scratch

serious question: reanimator said they had reached the limit on "animation memory"(might not be exact quote, but close). How do they improve animations significantly without upgrading the engine?



2.need to steal 2k ideas/depth for association and incorporate into final product. no reason, with extra time , that they dont fix all the fatal flaws from their live 10 association mode. improved association mode would bring extra sales

3. fix ai flaws

4. fix "glue" defense

As much as I have voiced this same opinion it is looking more and more like this will never happen.

A 2 year cycle will assure a much more polished product. Because think about it, were going to buy 11 almost on April 1st, and then Elite 12 in October 2011. That's 6 months apart. Why not just work and complete 12. Overall, I think you guys can do so much better, and Live 10 proved you have the capabilities. Either way I can't wait to see the improvements as times moves closer to release.

NCAA 12 sounds good to me
