"EA Sports has decided to delay next month's launch of NBA Elite 11. NBA Jam will launch on the Wii on October 5; we're also now going to ship NBA Jam as a standalone product on the Xbox 360 and PS3 in time for the holidays," a spokesperson told IGN.
"We set ambitious goals for NBA Elite, and we are creating a game that will introduce several breakthrough features that have been missing from the basketball genre. We are going to keep working until we're certain we can deliver a breakthrough basketball experience."
"We feel this is in the best interest of our consumers, our company and our shareholders."
No pricing details for NBA Jam were revealed. It's unclear if the game will be sold on a disc or through Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
No firm release date for NBA Elite 11 has been set.
