This is good for me, because I have no interest in NBA Elite.

No interest in Elite 11 as well since i'm getting 2K11 so this is good news.

This makes so much more sense and will make everyone happy.

NBA Jam is good, Elite 11 sucks.

The Elite demo sucked, they made a good choice. I am getting 2K with MJ so doesn't really matter.

2K = Galactus

Elite = Paste Pot Pete

News = Good idea, EA.

NBA Jam has a full retail release on November 17th on PS3 and X360

I still believe this was a shell game to get people to pay full price for what was once a "free" bonus game.

NBA Jam for $50. . . what a rip. Which means EA valued NBA 11 at $10.

NBA Jam wasn't the full version. But I do think this was a game to get people like us to buy the Wii version and not wait for a PS3/Xbox version. I was smart though and waiting for this most obvious announcement.

NBA Jam, here I come!

NBA Jam should not be $50. They should make it an XBLA game and be done with it. I don't expect a lot of people to pay that much.. maybe $20 or $30.

As a PSP gamer, I am extremely disappointed with the PSP version of NBA2k11.. I can't wait for NBA Elite 2011 to be released!!!!!

NBA Elite 11 is Officially Canned
Written Wednesday, November 03, 2010 By Dan Webb

In what was supposed to be the revamp of the series that would rival and hopefully put an end to NBA 2K's recent dominance, EA last night announced that NBA Elite 11 is now totally and utterly canned.

Talking during a recent investor conference call last night, EA's Chief Financial Officer, Eric Brown, delivered the news that the title for this year is now cancelled, while EA's Chief Operating Officer, John Schappert, stated that the future of the franchise would be moving internally as well.

"Future development of that franchise will be handled at EA Tiburon in Orlando," said Schappert, confirming the shift in development from EA Canada to Madden developers, EA Tiburon.

The news of the cancellation follows numerous complaints regarding the game's demo and the recent delay that we saw in late September.

If you want to get your basketball on this year then, we hear that NBA 2K11 is the way forward. There's always NBA Jam as well though, although the two types of basketball are worlds apart.

Wow, that's a slap in the face to the developers. The game was finished, reviewed, and a demo released and they STILL canned it.
