EA's NBA Elite 11 gets the axe

'EA shoots...and misses!'
After many delays from its intended September release, Electronic Arts has officially canceled NBA Elite 11. EA's chief financial officer Eric Brown announced that NBA Elite was no longer in their pipeline during an investor call. Brown stated that future development of the franchise will be handed down to EA Tiburon in Orlando, with former developer EA Canada being let go permanently from the project. The series formerly known as NBA Live was hoping for a resurrection of sorts with Elite; however, Elite was delayed in September because of supposed glitches and what EA Sports president Peter Moore claimed as "concerns about gameplay polish."

With only one NBA game coming from EA this season (the arcade-style NBA Jam), this raises a few questions about what it will take for the company's premier basketball sim to get over it's proverbial hump. Also, this could (a very BIG maybe) be the first time that a game was canceled after the initial demo was released.

Only time will tell, as EA Tiburon takes the reigns from EA Canada.
