Not surprised, I knew it would be canceled, it wouldn't make sense to release a game mid season or near the end of the season of the sport your game suppose to be for.

This has to be the biggest fail in the history of sports gaming...

I remember the hype machine this game had

He'd be doing an even happier dance if he hadn't opened it and played it...

I don't know if it is a good thing. One of those two years was spent going in a direction the fans generally didn't want.

it's effectively put them two years behind a AAA competitor.

...and changing developers too, it will take time for them to familiarize themselves with the product, let alone decide what to do with it.

The best way for them to go forward is to put an good honest years development into the game and build from there. Oh, and get a basketball visionary in charge. (If Mike Wang isn't free, why not ask Da Czar? :P)

They will need to take their lumps, they will have an inferior product for years to come.

I fear EA will just go down the 'let's add a new gimmick' path.

Better to be a promising young team that will be good in a couple of years than a lottery team that buys a prima dona star just to put bums on seats.

Winning down the road with that promising young team will ultimately put more bums on seats.

The best thing about them being in Orlando is that they can use all the videogame majors who graduate from Full Sail and UCF, since both of those schools are in the Orlando area.

Plus they could use the local hoops talent in the area for feed back and mocaps. It is a lot easier to get an NBA player to come to florida then it is to Vancouver that is for sure.
