EA have dropped NBA Live. Instead they'll be releasing a new B'ball game called NBA Elite.
NBA Live had been losing out to 2K Sports NBA 2K Basketball franchise since the move to PS3 / 360 but made a comeback last year when NBA Live's dev team was boosted by ex members from the 2K dev team , and put out an excellent , if slightly basic , B'ball game with NBA Live 2010 .
The team working on this years version have put that many new features and gameplay additions into the game they basically created an entire new game, so EA decided to drop the Live title and put out a new franchise to push the new game , hence NBA Elite .
Elite looks similar to Live graphically but has loads more animatorn's, an all new control system , as well as new phsyic's routines and gameplay additions that really do justify the new name , as it is a completely different game from Live and not just a marketing ploy going by the demomstration and features guide that I saw.
Definetly one to look out for if like me your a fan of the NBA. (out Oct)
