NBA Elite 11

NBA Elite 11 was a basketball video game developed by EA Canada for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and published by EA Sports. The game was initially scheduled to be released in October 2010 but was pushed back to 2011. EA Sports decided to drop their long-standing “NBA Live” franchise moniker in favor of a new identity, “NBA Elite,” reflecting the publishers’ desire to “pioneer a groundbreaking change in the basketball videogame segment.” This decision was made to achieve a revitalizing gameplay experience, with changes that would include new mechanics and game modes. The “NBA Live” moniker has been in use since the 1994 installment of NBA Live ’95. Even though production of the game reached the point where copies were manufactured, and a demo was made available to the public, the game’s launch was postponed due to concerns regarding the product’s overall quality. A few weeks later, it was formally canceled. Because only a limited number of physical copies of the PlayStation 3 version were distributed to consumers, NBA Elite 11 is now considered one of the rarest games available for the PlayStation 3. Some documents are being sold for thousands of dollars. This is because the game was only available in physical form to a small number of people.
