NBA Elite team 'shocked' by delay

An EA Sports developer has responded to this morning's news of NBA Elite 11 being delayed until 2011, saying that the entire dev team only "found out this morning" and that the news came "as a bit of a shock".

how could they be shocked?the gameplay is awful..

Blaze9295762d ago

it wasnt that bad. People need to stop hating on EA's NBA titles. Sure the past few years of LIVE have sucked but you have to admit, NBA Elite is a drastic improvement from the past NBA LIVE. Not quite there yet but it was still a lot of fun nonetheless. I'll admit that I even liked the demo a lot more than I did the NBA 2K10 demo.

But the gameplay was 'far' from awful.

As for the delay, I'm shocked as well. Giving a big ass opening to 2K Sports to release NBA 2K11 and not worry about competition for another month or even more. I wonder what caused the delay - maybe adding MOVE/Kinect features.

likedamaster5762d ago

You clearly did not read the article. And most folks know how bad NBA 2k10 was, 2k11 will be better... and 2k11 has MJ mode. ;)

I'm going to link a series of videos to disprove what this EA Plant is saying.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

This is the long version of "Bynum playing Jesus" at halfcourt video. Watch how screwed up things are. Like a CPU-controller Shaq trying to backhand finger-roll a shot 3 feet from the hoop...with a WIDE OPEN LANE.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Some games in this, like the infamous warp-speed flight you get on dunks, as Kobe Bryant accelerates IN MID-AIR. Then a CPU-Controlled Rondo takes a falling-away, fade-away 3...while spotted up early in the clock. Then Shaq shoots the ball into the back of the backboard.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Then here's some awesome gameplay...that goes on while the guy's in the pause menu.

Those are some pretty major upgrades over Live 2010, folks.

iceman065762d ago

Preferences are one thing. I have no beef with anyone that chooses one NBA game over the other for whatever reasons. That being said, Elite is pretty much a step back once you take to the court. The controls are pretty good and an interesting twist on total control from the past. However, the actual flow of the game and the way it plays is NOT representative of NBA basketball. There's a severe lack in the variety of animations. You can literally shoot 100% from the 3 pt. line if you are good with the sticks...even in heavy defense. You can dunk from a virtual stand still from outside of the key. The new physics are awkward at best. At least in last years game they got some of the core basketball fundamentals correct. In fact, the spacing on the floor and running plays worked much better in Live 10. People will like this years version because it is more run and gun and less simulation oriented. To each his own. But, IMO, the game needs some significant time to polish. Maybe they should pull out for this year and just come back with vengeance next year. The worst thing that could happen is for them to delay it and it STILL come out as an inferior product to it's last game and the competition.

otherZinc5762d ago (Edited 5762d ago )

Yes! The demo is terrible! They must be retarded to be shocked with the delay, it should be scrapped.

jjohan355762d ago

Here's EA screwing up again.

chasegarcia5762d ago

EA is on a roll lately. They finally listen to the customer.Keep it up EA!

Crystallis5762d ago

It is that bad. It feels like a step back. They need at least 2 years to make elite a contender to 2k11. I've been a live fan since forever and Elite is bad...very bad. I wont be surprised if they skip Elite 11 and just release Elite 12 next year. I'd go back to the name LIVE also.

HungPHAT5762d ago

I hated it the first 10 minutes of the demo ! They should go back to the old controls lay out.

the new king 745762d ago

that game was horrible . being able to do crossovers with bynum and kendrick perkins? being able to shoot 70-80% from 3 point range with hook shots? horrible animations , ps2 graphics. the list goes on R.I.P NBA DELETE

TheoreticalParticle5762d ago

Don't forget Bynum dunking from the free throw line on one step.

I'm still looking for an affordable english version of aquanauts holiday for the ps3. 5 years later and still no such luck.

Luckily ico and sotc was rereleased on the ps3..

sypher4697d ago (Edited 4697d ago )

Same here! Plenty of Chinese language ones but trying to find that Hong Kong english one... has to be the rarest officially released (non recalled) game on PS3? :/

Inception4697d ago

They forgot:

1) Tales of Destiny PS1 = $500
http://www.amazon.com/Tales...

2) Tales of Destiny 2 PS1 = $250
http://www.amazon.com/Tales...

3) Vagrant Story PS1 = $150
http://www.amazon.com/Vagra...

But man, that UC2 Fortune Hunter Ed price is overkill! >.<

pecorre4697d ago

I bought Vagrant Story in like new condition on ebay for 35$ earlier this year. PS1 games on Amazon are almost always overpriced.

wishingW3L4697d ago

it happened just like with Persona. You could buy Persona 1 and 2 for like $10-15 on Amazon but then Persona 3 came out, the series became mainstream and all of a sudden the prices from the old games jumped dramatically. And now the same thing is happening with Tales...

Inception4697d ago

Maybe you right for other titles on amazon. But Tales of Destiny 1 & 2 copies always been rare this years. I've been searching for a cheap copies for both of them on playasia or ebay and it's no luck >.<

- Destiny 1 = $700
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tal...
- Destiny 2 = $250
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW...

That's why i never trade my Tales of Abyss and Tales of Graces f + Xillia Day 1 Edition. In case they became very rare in the future.

wishingW3L4697d ago

only one I have it's Megaman Legends 2 but I think the Tron Bonne game is more expensive.

Majin-vegeta4697d ago

I have a shadow heart and LOD unopened copies at my mothers place maybe it's time to dig them out.

wishingW3L4697d ago

just remember that the more you wait to sell em the more valuable they will become!

RoseSapphire4697d ago

This isn't always true. Even a sealed game loses value when a digital version is released. Granted, Legend of Dragoon has already had the digital hit the market.

RoseSapphire4697d ago (Edited 4697d ago )

Most of these games on the list are not even half the price they had shown. I own a used game store and, using Mega Man 2 Legends as an example, we have it for $55. Legend of Dragoon is a $15 game.

These titles are grossly overpriced in this article and it seems like they grabbed the highest listed eBay price rather than doing any research.

hockeyjockey664697d ago

Thank you. I was saying this to my computer screen the whole time I was reading this terrible article.

Technically not 'games' except two of them. The rest are 'special editions'.

guitarded774858d ago (Edited 4858d ago )

I have the MvC2... I should have left it sealed and just downloaded from the store. Kicks self in butt.

EDIT: Just remembered it wasn't sealed when I bought it (GameStop) had them check other stores, but that was the last one from San Antonio to Austin. Only some stores got them.

Treezy5044858d ago

When I used to buy games from GameStop all the time I would refuse to get a copy that was opened. I hated when they would do that, especially since they keep sealed copies in a drawer usually.

Derekvinyard134858d ago

Lmao nba elite 11 was terrible I would never pay for that broken game

KrisButtar4858d ago

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Fortune Hunter Edition worth 10k, just wow

guitarded774858d ago

It ain't worth that to me... I'd sell it in a heartbeat if I had one. Love Uncharted, but damn... 10k is a lot of money.

HammadTheBeast4858d ago

A game you've beat, or a new car/full blown entertainment system.

Hmmmm...

Eyeco4858d ago

Yeah if I had 10k now that'll go straight to my Masters fee, that said Uncharted 2 is relatively new game just imagine how much it'll cost in 10-20 years time I would probably keep it for that matter.

brianunfried4858d ago (Edited 4858d ago )

Just Cause 2 is becoming rare for some reason. The price used at Gamestop has gone up from $17.99 to $29.99. You better get it soon, its an amazing game. I was lucky to grab the last new copy in my city last year for $19.99.

Treezy5044858d ago

Keep that one wrapped up! I wonder what could be causing it's price increase?

Dart895403d ago

Lol the cod ones arent rare i could look them up online and find them cheap.

Now the uncharted one that's a rare one weren't only a select few made if i call correctly??

Aussiegamer5403d ago

Yeah uncharted was only 200 made.

And agree on the cod ones not rare at all.

WhiteLightning5403d ago

Never understood that stupid decision...

Even if it was like £150...I would of still bought it.

HebrewHammer5402d ago

And I have one! Courtesy of the 2009 tournament in Rosemont, IL! Team Drake represent!

tiffac0085403d ago

I thank God I was able to buy Ar Tonelico Qoga for $60 and Hyperdimensional Neptunia for $50. lol!

I better get Hyperdimensional Neptunia MkII on release day to be safe. ^^

sashimi5403d ago

Yeah...i kinda wanna play Hyperdimensional Neptunia but its way overpriced >.< although i did get Qoga on release date. Now i'm just wondering if i should get MKII.

dragonknight45403d ago

I too, am glad I got the limited editions of those two games before they became rare. Atelier Totori, which is also published by NISA, will probably become rare as well.

tiffac0085403d ago (Edited 5402d ago )

The funny things is I didn't even know Ar Tonelico Qoga and Hyperdimensional Neptunia where release in limited numbers. lol!

No wonder a lot of people in my area can't seem to buy those games locally XD

UltimateIdiot9115402d ago

I will be preordering H.N MkII also. As for Ar Tonelico Qoga, I wanted to get that but I'm not made out of money and I never play the other titles, I skipped out.

I still have the first one. xD Wish I remember who on N4G insisted that NISA limited editions are not limited and that the price for Hyperdimension Neptunia will fall in price.

It's really only the Disagea series that seems to be mass produce and on almost everything.
