In a recent post, I asked whether or not EA Sports' new "NBA Elite" series even stood a chance against the awesome "NBA 2K11." Looks like EA Sports answered the question for me.

No.

In a shocking development, EA Sports announced today that less than a week until launch, they are delaying the release of "Elite."

In a statement sent to media, EA announced the following: "EA Sports has decided to delay next month's launch of 'NBA Elite 11.' 'NBA Jam' will launch on the Wii on October 5; we're also now going to ship 'NBA Jam' as a standalone product on the Xbox360 and PS3 in time for the holidays.

"We set ambitious goals for 'NBA Elite,' and we are creating a game that will introduce several breakthrough features that have been missing from the basketball genre. We are going to keep working until we're certain we can deliver a breakthrough basketball experience. We feel this is in the best interest of our consumers, our company and our shareholders."

This is devastating news to EA Sports, leaving "NBA 2K11" as the only basketball simulation on the market for what looks like months while EA retools what was once promised to be the most innovative basketball game the genre has seen in years. And now that "NBA Jam" is releasing on its own for the 360 and PS3 rather than being bundled with "Elite," that also can't bode well for sales down the road.

This is the best news 2k has ever had though.

[fedefox]

EA must be thinkin right now to fire everybody who made this game, when you promise and don't deliver, you might not get back from the hit that comes your way.

statement translation:

our game is trash, and we're now too embarrassed to release it...back to the drawing board

[fedefox]

EA should ship their FIFA designers down to the Elite series and fire the actual designin crew

[GP1_KB24]

Sucks for EA as a company though. Both there Football games were great this year, to bad it can't translate to the NBA Series.

[Draztik]

see this is just karma, EA paid the NFL to be the only officially licensed game, thereby making 2k stop with NFL 2K. It's all just coming back to em now haha

LMAO, another problem...

Just fire the whole crew who made this game...what would have been great was to build on Live 10, and fix up every single kink in that game, make it run smoother, more animations, and put in these new controls.

[pkflyers]

^ i agree.. live 10 was ok imo (i liked 2k better though) someones getting fired though
