Regardless of what fixes they manage to accomplish in the next few months, they absolutely positively need to reduce the price of this game to 29.99. There are no amount of fixes that will help them against 2k this year.
1.really need to scrap the animation "engine" and start from scratch
serious question: reanimator said they had reached the limit on "animation memory"(might not be exact quote, but close). How do they improve animations significantly without upgrading the engine?
2.need to steal 2k ideas/depth for association and incorporate into final product. no reason, with extra time , that they dont fix all the fatal flaws from their live 10 association mode. improved association mode would bring extra sales
3. fix ai flaws
4. fix "glue" defense

They got scared and probably did the right thing by moving back the release date and tweaking the game. Its just amazing to me that they will not have a NBA or College basketball game this year....wow EA sports. Just imagine if the NFL license was not tied up and other parties could make a NFL football game. I could only imagine how competitive the sports gaming market would be if creativity was encourage and not hampered by this dumb down philosophy of buying out competition.
Almost did a double-take when I first read the news.
I'm still up in the air on whether or not I think it was a wise decision. I'm not financially invested in EA so I don't really care what it does to their bottom-line but I can't imagine any NBA fan wanting to hold out until a later date to purchase an NBA game. The only sports game that I know whose release doesn't coincide with the start of their season is soccer games but both of the big boys release them the same time so neither company gets a jump-start. Are folks really going to go back to Live '10?
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the meeting with the execs where they weighed the pro's & cons of releasing it on-time to much criticism or delay it and take the loss financially and image-wise. That was the real Decision 2010.

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.

delaying the game should be fine, as long as they make the actual game look like the the Durant Elite intro in the demo.
They are done! No way that EA can bounce back after this "shocking" news.
