Desidesforum_veteranOPEA sucks at sports games.
Electronic Arts has officially canceled NBA Elite 11. The disastrously delayed basketball sim has been completely removed from the publisher's slate, with EA's chief financial officer Eric Brown announcing the game's death during an investor call.
"Future development of that franchise will be handled at EA Tiburon in Orlando," EA COO John Schappert added, confirming previous reports that the Madden NFL studio would pick up where previous NBA Elite developer EA Canada left off.
EA's basketball sim, which attempted to reinvigorate the series formerly known as NBA Live, was delayed in September. EA Sports president Peter Moore chalked up the delay to "concerns about gameplay polish," writing that the basketball sim needed more development time.
Translation: “We couldn’t find a way to make this game fun for people who didn’t choose the Heat.” :shifty:

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

ClipseNew Memberlol. What a fail. 2K really stepped up to the plate this year with a great game while EA fell flat on their faces. I expect the same to happen should 2K Sports ever get their hands on an NFL license again.

EA has NFL exclusivity through 2013, sadly.
