NCAA Basketball 11 Cancelled, Future in Doubt (Gameinformer)

[DJ]

Sad day.

And to think, we were all buzzing about how revolutionary the game's presentation was when the preview vids were released. Now a few months later the game is toast.

I'm holding out hope for a bi-annual release.

Oh, and to say that college b-ball is only relevant for 3 weeks out of the year isn't a true fact. Why would ESPN pay so much to broadcast so many regular season games then? The "major" conferences have year-round support and college hoops is a huge deal in places like Syracuse, Louisville, Lexington, Chapel Hill, Durham etc. so there is definitely a market for a game.

Why EA expects it to sell as well as an NBA title is another question. I personally feel like their sales projections were too high for this title.

Since no patch is coming, only way I'll pick this game up is when it hits the $14.99/under bin @ GameStop or on eBay. Otherwise, I'll be sticking with 2K8.

What's funny is if these people would make BETTER games, they'd sell.

Stop giving us just "a dab will do until next year"

Now that people arent just wasting money these days, this method is not profitable.

Again, look at COD series, GTA, etc. They make quality games, and guess what.....THEY SELL.

The funny thing is that EA bounces around so quickly from idea to idea that I'd say it's a coin flip that NBA Jam will flop, EA will cancel it and and NCAA '12 will be made. EA is such a disaster when it comes to being patient.
