NBA Elite 11 Officially Canceled, Franchise Future Moves to EA Tiburon

[sportyguyfl31]

I think the biggest travesty is that the developers who have worked hard, and have interacted with us, are the ones who will be falling on their swords for this, due to boardroom incompetence.

Heads have to roll for this, at the executive level, no?

I don't this is a bad. To me obviously Tiburon is using Physics applications and using it similar to what is being done with NBA Elite. There is a fix list for this game before it was moved so they will go forward with that . You will get the game they were suppose to release this year. you may get signature moves and injuries. if they can right the ship and make a decent game . EA has been carpooling ideas for a couple of years so some of the app prob isn't that hard for them to deal with

It's post like this that makes me think there should be a one month period where new members cannot post anything! It seems most new members (2010), spent their formative educational years on the short school bus licking the windows! The user name and my gut tells me that this person has been recently banned and started a new account!

It's a shame that this title went in the direction it went! I wish EA would have built on what they had last year! 2K is an awesome title, and with the lack of any college basketball games, ES removing it's game leaves a hole in the market! Too bad!

LOL. Fair? NFL never gave Take Two a chance to counter the EA bid. Just to be "fair".

None of the guys from EA that have come on here are falling on a sword. Unless I missed someone.

So is EAC with the NHL series. And doing it better, IMO. I've yet to play a Madden game on these consoles without wondering about why the physics of the game are so out of whack. Madden is a very fun football game, I just wouldn't call it overly realistic. If Tiburon could achieve the same level of gameplay in Elite, I wouldn't be disappointed. I just don't see how they'll be able to do so for the release of Live/Elite 12, which is why I will never understand why EA would pull this game from EAC at this point in time, when they're more familiar with the RTP in Elite than anyone else. There's got to be more to this story.

This is the last thing Tiburon needs.....they need to focus on making us the best Madden game every year and now they have to mess with this joke?
