What's worse is that EA Canada, the house that does FIFA and NHL had massive layoffs. Don't know if that impacts FIFA and NHL but surely it does it some way.

Wonder where they will find the time to make a new basketball game when so much of their day is spent coming up with new ways to sell Madden coins.

EA plans to take another year off and will reboot their NBA series in 2012.

EA basketball sim benched for 2011 http://www.gamespot.com/news/6307236.ht ... Btitle%3B1

"Today, EA said that it will be releasing a new installment in its sim NBA series in fall 2012.

Notably, the publisher did not refer to its sim basketball series by its rebranded Elite name, nor did it offer any details on what gamers can expect from the title. EA did say that the game is in development at its Tiburon Studio, makers of the Madden NFL series. The studio change was first revealed after the publisher made substantive cuts at its EA Canada studio, which had been developing NBA Elite 11."

So they took the NBA game away from EA Vancouver, which makes the well-regarded FIFA and NHL games, and gave it to Tiburon?

The NBA2K team must be having a laugh.

Why? Tiburon couldn't have made a sh*ttier game than EA Vancouver did. Did you play the Elite demo? Yikes. They had to start over somewhere else. Had to.

There is an "NBA Elite" iphone game.

Wonder how that one made it out? Anyone try it?
