NCAA Basketball 11 Cancelled, Future in Doubt (Gameinformer)

not surprised at all. I saw this coming very clearly, as I'm sure many of us here did also. Sucks for the big college hoops gamers.

um, that sure is considered 2 games.

so all the stuff you read about NBA JAM is crap etc? what the heck do you expect? a basketball sim out of it? its an arcade title.

its gonna be a solid fun throw back with updated rosters. could it bomb? possibly, but just bc you wont like it doesnt mean its crap.

video games = fun..

some of you guys need to step away from the consoles and relax a bit, not take stuff like this so serious.

EA Sports is becoming less and less relevant all the time. No baseball game and now no college basketball. Yeah, if it's in the game, it's uh, not provided. SCEA is killing it with The Show and 2k has the best NBA game available. EA's college football game is also nothing to write home about. It's always the previously discarded Madden model anyways. EA is a second rate company scamming all of us sports gamers with recycled titles. I hope they go out of business. We consumers have the power and can make our voices heard through our wallets.

According to the Pasta Padre article, there was no exclusive license. It's just that only EA was willing to meet the CLC’s licensing costs.

...Well, I always liked SCEA's NCAA Basketball games...

Bring back the best college basketball game ever - the 2Ks. It was hands down 10 times or more better than EA's version. I will play 2K8 over and over compared with this year's version of NCAA 10.

2k bailed on NCAA Basketball because its not profitable. EA is now bailing because its not profitable even though they were

Apologies to all the college basketball heads here (i for one, like it)...but the sport is only nationally relevant for 3 freaking weeks a year. You cant invest millions into a 360/PS3 game and expect sales to warrant the investment. Even though 2k8 was really good and NCAA 10 was good enough, its not worth it from a business standpoint.
