CONFIRMED: NBA Elite 11 Delayed until 2011

Well, this just pisses me off! But I guess it's a smarter move than releasing a game that was doomed at the start.

they were clearly scared of getting killed by 2k11. smart move.

Way to go EA!!!! Elite was straight CRAP in my personal opinion. Apparently someone from the top agrees. Finally a stand on a crappy game has been made, MAP PROPS TO EA!!!!!

[seemoe]

Well, this sucks I was looking forward to next tuesday to pick up both games.

[WTF]

Wow. This is big news. I applaud you EA sports. Waiting and putting out a finished product vs looking at the financial side of it and putting out a half finished product. As long as the cycle for 2012 is worthy, Elite 12 will have a day 1 buy from me. Like I said, just so long as the product is worthy.

This is a ballsy move, and I for one am liking it.

Good move by EA honestly...Elite wasnt ready and it showed.....Now if EA would smarten up and get rid of Moore, many great things would follow.

[Dayman]

I would tell them to put it off a whole year and skip right to Elite 12.

2k11 is a monster this year. No sense releasing a game that from what I'm hearing is half broken.

EA just made Kevin Durant the happiest man in the world lmao

Well...I am disappointed...yes it is an "incomplete" game but I was having fun with it and was looking forward to giving the devs tons of feedback to help it improve...what does this mean for NBA Jam? I guess they just sit on the 360 and PS3 versions until Elite is ready?

[WTF]

-For NBA LIVE 10 players, we will continue to offer free content and services throughout the 2010-11 season. We will start with a new roster update so you get all the players for the new season, free of charge. We will also provide free Dynamic DNA updates, daily, for the entire season. That’s a full season of basketball with new rosters and updates, free.

That's big news there. I think I may be able to find someone who will give me Live 10, so that'll be my "second game".

I still really like this move. I just wonder how the graphics will look on the new rookies.
