EA Sports on NBA Elite: Game Change; Not Just a Name Change

"EA Sports wants to make one thing clear. They are not changing the name on their long running NBA Live Franchise; they are changing the game. NBA Elite will be the new moniker by which future EA NBA Titles will be known. But that isn’t the biggest change happening."

Glad to know it isn't just a name change...

Bigpappy5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

Send me the demo. That will do the trick.

BetaChris5082d ago

"Profoundly evolve"? Sounds like marketing buzz words to me. Still, it's good to see EA has a reason for the re-branding...

cain1415082d ago

Oh both those quotes are totally all marketing buzz...

Jrlibrarian5082d ago

Could this eventually be put in the same category as "Blast Processing"?

CYCLEGAMER5082d ago

So it looks like 2k won the battle on being the best basketball simulator to date, thus forcing E.A. to re-brand the franchise. *note* This is what would have happened to Madden if E.A. did not buy exclusive rights to NFL games, because nfl 2k would have stolen the show just as NBA 2k has done from LIVE.

Can you imagine if E.A. would have bought the rights to NBA games as well???? Eewwwww!!!

cain1415082d ago

Don't give us nightmares...

Funky Town_TX5082d ago

Competition is great. I have liked the 2k series of basketball and football since the Dreamcast days. I still remember trying to get my Madden and Live friends to try 2k sports. I have not purchased a NBA live game since the first xbox NBA live that I had. Live has let me down for a long time now. I'm getting tired of 2k basketball so I hope NBA Elite delivers.

Ziriux5082d ago

NBA Live is fail, they need something new.

johnbknight5082d ago

Yeah, a complete change was needed, I must admit I am a little excited for once about what EA has been doing...

seniorairman5082d ago

i'm a little excited too. i must admit before live 2010 came out, i was all over youtube looking at their videos. i was worried that i would have to put 2k on the back burner, especially after watching thier isomotion trailers. thats the one thing i love about live is the iso moves. but alas, all hope was gone once the demo came out.

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..

sypher3899d ago (Edited 3899d 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? :/

Inception3899d 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! >.<

pecorre3899d ago

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

wishingW3L3899d 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...

Inception3899d 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.

wishingW3L3899d ago

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

Majin-vegeta3899d ago

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

wishingW3L3899d ago

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

RoseSapphire3899d 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.

RoseSapphire3899d ago (Edited 3899d 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.

hockeyjockey663899d 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'.

guitarded774060d ago (Edited 4060d 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.

Treezy5044060d 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.

Derekvinyard134060d ago

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

KrisButtar4060d ago

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

guitarded774060d 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.

HammadTheBeast4060d ago

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

Hmmmm...

Eyeco4060d 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.

brianunfried4060d ago (Edited 4060d 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.

Treezy5044060d ago

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

Dart894605d 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??

Aussiegamer4605d ago

Yeah uncharted was only 200 made.

And agree on the cod ones not rare at all.

WhiteLightning4605d ago

Never understood that stupid decision...

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

HebrewHammer4604d ago

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

tiffac0084605d 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. ^^

sashimi4605d 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.

dragonknight44605d 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.

tiffac0084605d ago (Edited 4605d 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

UltimateIdiot9114604d 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.
