Seen this coming, too much negative feedback on the demo...."Elite 11 Delayed until 2011" hmmmm really not sure if this a smart move by EA....I hope tryna fix this game doesnt interfere with the development of Elite 12...Also, Since Elite 11 aint droppin until 2011 will the "Time Frame" change, does this mean NO more EA basketball games a year early (meaning Elite 12 coming out in 2012 instead of 2011) makes one think doesnt it!!!

Keep in mind, this isn't the first time Electronic Arts has humbled themselves to a superior product. They canceled the first madden on ps1 because game day was light years ahead of it. Great decision EA!

While this is sad, it's also kind of funny. I guess you don't need an exclusive license when you can literally run your competition away lol.

EA did this to save their company money. IMO it had nothing to do with looking out for the customer. It cost them more to release the game in its current condition since they knew it wasn't going to sell well. Overall a smart business move by EA.

Question:
HOW DO THEY HAVE THE CONSUMERS IN MIND!!!!?????
This is like a movie being delayed because the trailer was panned and the early critic reviews were negative. Movie Studios dont delay movies for the good of the consumer. They do it because it cost money to ship, print and advertise the movie and they are cautious about losing money.
EA recognized they were about to take a huge loss and made a financial decision. Thats it. The demo was being panned by hardcore and casual gamers and EA realized that catching a brick with the first version of your "new" brand is disastrous for this yr and the future.
EA didnt delay the game for you the consumer. They did it for the long term financial viability of their NBA basketball series.

Great news but don't make a fool out of us EA, make a better game and do not just let the heat subside.
This is a classic example of what happens if you only had minimal improvements from 2003-2008.

But Aholbert32 how often do you see something delayed this late prior to release. Isn't it a huge lost producing all the games and not selling them?

You only get credit for doing something good; you DON'T get credit for "not doing something bad."
That demo was the worst peice of sports gaming this generation by a mile. I mean it was just terrible. From the half court glitch, to the passing mechanics, to the muddy graphics. It was a complete joke.
This is a disater for EA. A complete disaster. No company wants to be in that position one week before release. Ever.
Thank goodness that the people who were going to buy this won't be given the option. Thank goodness.
Okay, IMO Live 10 would be best suited really looking into those ratings because it would help the experience out immensly
I did a huge ratings thread on here tweaking the game, they should take a look and check into some of those things because the patch and updates made Live 10 unplayable in alot of ways like the chest bumping, over exxagerated super defense, verts, blocks, rebounds, abilities, who's scoring the most and also alot of other stuff I mentioned in there.

Good move by EA? I don't think so. They've done this before and it is ALL about what the competition is doing. Ask yourselves a question: if EA had the exclusive license like they do with Madden and NCAA, would they cancel/delay a game? Of course they wouldn't.
This is about a company making bad development decisions that were continuing to hurt their product portraying a major sport in the USA. They needed to change course and that's what they are doing. This is failure 101. No company should ever, ever, EVER be congratulated for this. Especially a game company like EA.
This is all about the competition and EA not being able to compete. This is what competition does. It drives success and failure. Congratulate them when they release a superior basketball game. But for now, there is just no way to spin this as a positive.
