“It was just going to be a bad game.”
EA pulled the plug on NBA Elite 11 because “ultimately it was just going to be a bad game”, EA Sports bigwig Alan Wilson has admitted.
“The goal of reinventing how people play basketball games and giving the gamer infinitely more control over the outcomes that appear on the screen in front of them was something that just needed to take longer than we had,” he explained to IGN.
“We knew the goal was aggressive. But at the same time, we believed it was an important enough goal for the gamer, who’d been playing basketball games in a very similar way for a very long time.”
