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

[The Legend]

I'm not worried about the move what so ever. Madden sold pretty damn good, if they can attempt to make Elite just as good, I see Live/Elite being back. I'm just wondering if some of the developers from EAC will come help.... Ryan Santos for instance when it comes to the accessories. They really would need this lol. Pretty sure we would see signature moves and differentiation between players. Just looking forward to what the game looks like next year summer time. I still have faith. What sports games have EA Tiburon made??

Do you guys think we will get an EA NBA game next year? Or will we get one in a few years?

Interesting to read some "knowledgable" people make reference to David Littmann. The guy who almost singlehandedly revived the NHL series to the point where it is today. After all, that's why they handed him the NBA job as well (alongside his NHL work).

You mean, not released, right?

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.

that's my point EAC is doing well with this tech and Tiburon isn't using it yet, so obviously they are up to speed on so they can have everything inhouse in one location instead of flying in and out to canada.

Dunno if this has been posted, but the NBA Elite debacle has caused EA to completely re-shuffle their sports division. A lot of people apparently lost their jobs.

Sad to see things like this happen.

I am one of the few that preferred the EA basketball games to any of the 2K ones. I always see how much people prefer 2k, but I never saw it, I didn't like the way it looked and I didn't like the way it played.

not sure what I will do for my NBA fix now.
