this demo was total garbage everybody move the same and the controls were atrocious and laggy it took like 1 or 2 seconds for the pass icon buttons to come up what are u smoking?

They got scared and probably did the right thing by moving back the release date and tweaking the game. Its just amazing to me that they will not have a NBA or College basketball game this year....wow EA sports. Just imagine if the NFL license was not tied up and other parties could make a NFL football game. I could only imagine how competitive the sports gaming market would be if creativity was encourage and not hampered by this dumb down philosophy of buying out competition.

Funny EA Sports is based up north in that other country they make a good hockey game lol maybe only reason madden is good is cause they want the bills to move to toranto lol and maybe elite is so bad is cause they want the raptors to leave !! i think i'm on to somthing !! lol (kidding)

Almost did a double-take when I first read the news.

I'm still up in the air on whether or not I think it was a wise decision. I'm not financially invested in EA so I don't really care what it does to their bottom-line but I can't imagine any NBA fan wanting to hold out until a later date to purchase an NBA game. The only sports game that I know whose release doesn't coincide with the start of their season is soccer games but both of the big boys release them the same time so neither company gets a jump-start. Are folks really going to go back to Live '10?

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the meeting with the execs where they weighed the pro's & cons of releasing it on-time to much criticism or delay it and take the loss financially and image-wise. That was the real Decision 2010.

not sure if this is a good idea. why not cancel Elite 11 and work on Elite 12?

i know if EA dont release a college basketball game for 2012 they lost me a customer.. Also why the ncca 10 cant be updated with the rosters and that nice stuff that nba live 10 is getting.. If i dont get that roster update for Ncaa 10 with the new players. EA lost me as a customer...

they said delayed until 2011. last time I check, nba comes out in october. So they could be just saying that and probably canceling it. They are being vague on purpose.

Might have something to do with AA rules about player likeness or something like that, just sayin.
