CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

My thoughts on Elite and what needs to be done.

Honestly, I am stunned. I applaud EA for having the guts to eat a lot of $$$ and do what is ultimately the right thing.

That being said, the fans have to keep EA's feet to the fire. If EA decides to try to rush out a version to be launched at the NBA All-Star Weekend, then that is a sign that EA isn't serious and is just waiting out the negatives.

If EA decides they want to really refocus and not release until October 2012, then I will be convinced that EA is really serious about their NBA franchises.

So, a good thing for the fans to have their voices heard. But until we see the product released, we won't know to what degree we've been heard.

Stay on EA SimNation!!!

While Peter Moore is ultimately in charge of the whole global EA Sports operation, it's the management team at the individual studios that dictate the day to day happenings on each project.

In the case of the NBA franchise, the GM of the EA Vancouver studio is someone named Pauline Moller. The buck stops with her. The individual devs like reAnimator don't deserve much of the blame (a tiny bit maybe, but not really). They are soldiers who march in the direction they are told to march. The devs are your true allies. They care. They may not have any power to change decisions, but they do give a crap about the game. They make normal amounts of money and do it mostly because they like making games.

If you want the company to hear you, send her an email.

Stop applauding EA, its a good move, but its not worth an applause. Let's see what Live 12 brings to the table. If it messes up, or doesn't live up to the hype of a 2yr production cycle, consider the nba elite/live basketball game canceled.

That's my take.

We want to see you back up here as well. I'd be shocked if that doesn't happen.

And sooner than last year.

Stay tuned...

Just joining the party here...

Glad to see that P.O.S. is being pulled from store shelves.

Hopefully, the added time and resources with an extended deadline can really translate into a proper overhaul of what you guys put out there.

Take a real good listen to the gaming community and you'll have a great product to put on display.

But you guys need to make major steps. You got the time; take full advantage of it.

Because next time around, there are NO excuses. None.

No ratings, no player models, no hitches, no nothing.

I wish you guys (devs) the best of luck!
