Not saying that, just saying super unlikely. Take a little loss such as nba live(expected annual sales anywhere between 1-3mil) compared to the giant fifa..I think they'll take that..not kindly, but its something they'll live with.


Someone needs to be fired though. I don't like people losing their jobs but someone needs to be fiered, and they need to bring in a fresh breathe of sim air lol. Someone who knows what they are doing. I think they bbrought in the nhl guy for elite 11 lol..not smart.

Maybe some young college kid who's been working for them and is ready for the next thing idk. just something

I wonder if ESPN has anything similar in their contract with EA.

That's one example. Maybe there's even a clause that allows ESPN to void its contract with EA's NBA Live brand in case of unfulfilled conditions...

Save your money EA and put all of that effort into making a good Madden game.

Competition for the sake of competition doesn't benefit anyone...at all...especially when one company has proven they can put out quality games without it, and one to this day still can't...

It's all about quality...people don't laugh at things worth caring about..

I'm thinking they have lost more than 100million. We should write to Kotaku or something to do an investigative piece on how much they lost, how much espn has lost, how much they had to pay for license music to the game, game development cost, etc.

Imagine working crunch time for thsi game and not getting OT then finally realizing its canceled. Man, if I'm an eas employee, I'm livid right now!

Seems like nobody there really got a clue how to become competitive again. That's almost eerie...

Soccer is by far the biggest sport in the world. No comparison. That is true. But try again on this number here, sir...
