The game needs to take a more sim approach. Even casual players want a realistic representation of the sport. Otherwise, they'd be playing NBA Jam.

Skill-based shooting needs to be finely tuned so it can't be exploited and falls in line with real life shooting %'s.

NOW IF THEY CAN DELAY MADDEN FOR A YEAR AND GIVE US A COMPLETE GAME I'D SETTLE FOR A ROSTER UPDATE IN 12!!!! HA!

To me ea has only had a few good titles I can think of like army of two, bad company just to name a few. Whenever they get there hands on something they turn it into crap! Look at what they did to the 007 series... When rare did goldeneye that was sick and then ea gets their gimmey hands in the mix & turned 007 into trash so to hear that moore & company are postponing elite isnt shocking to me one bit... And hasn't ea canada been responsible for developing ea's basketball for years now? But yet they still have their hands on making basketball games??? I won a cooy of live 7 and traded it in @ gamestop the following day b/c that was the worst bball game I ever remember pkaying. I'll keep it 100 with you by saying that I cant wait for 2k11 b/c live never made a basketball sim...and the demo made my point, they can try & cover it up by saying that the demo was an early build & didn't represent the final product if they want.. Im not buying it... 2k can say there demo isn't the final installment to but it was far better than the trash ea dished out. & gamers please stop saying it was a good move for them to postpone b/c in reality it wasn't. It should have been stopped months ago and not 7 days before release there's no way they didn't know this title was no where near complete... I'm not a huge fan if ea especially when out comes to basketball titles but it's unfair to ea faithfulls who prefer live than 2k b/c now their in a delimma where they either wait it out & hope elite releases sometime in 2011 or pick up 2k11or nothing at all.. And ea really needs to stop charging for downloadable rosters.... Thats greed and very pathetic on their behalf!

Smart move not to release the game in par with NBA 2K 11...

great decision i look for them to work on the graphics during that time and the way the players move during the game, maybe working on offball movement and making layups easier to do

I really think what should happen is that they should release another 'beta' quite a while from release date and get user feedback just like they did with the demo so that Elite 11/12 will really be something that the gaming community appreciates and something that may even rival the other game.

I am seeing this as a death of sport gaming. Last generation we had tons of title and slowly we are going to end up with a few games.

i don't think they should have delayed it, they should have cut the price in half and released it and worked on a patch to see what they could come up with. either that or release it a month or 2 later. this game was deff. NOT horrible but it just needed a lil more work, a patch might have been able to fix some of the stuff, oh well...id still buy a copy for like 30 bucks if i can find one, im just saying lol
