I don't understand where the 3 years went. When your game isn't even good enough to release as a $20 downloadable game, you know it was terrible.
I also don't understand the reason for basing it off of w/e shit they had built for Elite. At this point it probably would have made more sense to say, here new studio, make a completely new game from scratch, rather than figure out what the shit Elite was meant to be. Nobody is expecting it to come out and crush 2k in terms of depth and overall well-roundedness (trademarking that word), so I mean make a solid fundamental basketball game, that is enjoyable (okay easier said than done apparently), and release it for cheap. It will sell because of the NBA LIVE name alone.
And I somewhat understand not wanting to release an unfinished game in order to not tarnish a popular and iconic brand (again NBA Live), but at this point, 3 years sitting out, the value in that name is already nearly depleted.
