WOW.....i guess they finally listened to the Message Boards.....now it's on 2K --- PLEASE HAVE THE SERVERS READY FOR HEAVY TRAFFIC!!!

Very surprising considering it was supposed to street in just 1 week.. Never heard of anything like this before, but it does not reflect good anyway that you look at it.

I'd be shocked if this game is ever released.. What are they gonna do? Work on it for the next 2-3 months, release in Jan-Feb and then release the 2012 version only 8 months later? They should just put all their resources into making something out of next years game. Why waste more money and time on a project that could already be deemed a failure.

And EA should drop the name too.. There is nothing "Elite" about having your product delayed when discs have already been pressed and the street date was in 7 days.

Nobody (well not many) are gonna pay full retail for a new NBA game when the season is half over and the other game already has a 3 month head start. Not to mention 2K will probably go on sale at least once during the holidays.

Now this game has become a collectors item. I can't imagine what collectors/die hard EA fans would pay if any copies popped up on ebay in the next week.

It must have been pretty bad for EA to do this.

Disagree. But this isn't about Madden.

Not quite. To put it simply, the CLC was trying to manipulate an exclusive deal with EA by offering T2. T2 would set the price and EA would be forced to match. The problem was that T2 refused to play that game again and said, "No thanks" leaving the CLC with no leverage at all against EA - who later gave up due to bad sales. If the CLC offered either company a deal good enough that the companies could make money in such a small market, I'm sure both would "jumps in it...".

Looks like someone grew a brain...

Unfortunately, this is going to put Elite in the spotlight even MORE now than it would have at the original launch date.

EA is struggling and this is evidence.
