Drop the Elite name. It will always be remembered as the game that couldn't compete with NBA 2K11.

I call this "throwing monkeys" at the process. When you have a bunch of green programmers working on major products, you get titles like - Madden. It hasn't worked yet for Tiburon, but I guess they can keep trying right?

Only proof that competition not only lifted the veil over EA's hype machine, but also exposed just how tacky and lackluster their game programing actually is. Competition will make Elite a better game two years from now, but... imagine if there were no NBA 2K 11 or major competitor to EA in the basketball.

NBA Elite 11 would have been released and sold as great. Just keeping it real.

So moving the basketball game to Triburon a good thing? Will they attempt to grab the NBA license? Hey just a thought.

i wonder what effect this will have on madden and possibly ncaa(if its developen there i am not sure)

the extra time means nothing if they dont have the right focus and vision of the sport.

i projected my glorious return to ea b-ball will be 2012, i'll give them the 2 yrs to recover and upgrade their initial effort......

You should petition EA to create a patch for you
