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


I asked EA PR about the cancellation of NBA Elite 11, here is the official word, from PR.

Quote:
"Yes, we set ambitious quality goals for NBA ELITE, but the game is not ready."

Looks like previous reports were correct.

According to Kotaku...

Quote:
"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 Canda left off."
Platform: PS3 / Xbox 360

EA is all about money. Good move, money-wise.

The quality of games coming out of EA Canada is superior to Tiburon, FIFA and NHL, so quite what this means for EA basketball I have no idea. All that is left is an arcade game, surely...

I kind of wish my Clippers had pulled an EA this year and not played at all until next year when the team was "ready".

This might be a good thing. Now they have a FULL two years to make a solid basketball game. Which means, they can actually start from scratch and get rid of all that old code that haunted the game for the past 15 years.
