I believe EA would have done this anyway regardless of Elite, but its because of internal competitiveness. NHL, FIFA and Fight Night have turned the corner in sports gaming. The success of these games along the technology has caused EA to re evaluate how they do business. NCAA and Madden was at one point the carriers of EASports . Back then innovation and up to date technology was a must , but stewing in the background was the re emergence of titles with smaller fan bases. If these titles had failed with new technology it wouldn't be a big deal. but infact they flourished with it. Causing consumers to finger point why within your company innovation is possible , but with your top two selling games it hasn't happened. It became a must that EA Tiburon get up to speed and no longer wait to see what is the outcome of the other titles. Sending Elite to Tiburon along with the guy who help restart a franchise is big. Tiburon Studios now have the tech and know how to create what happened in Canada. EA wants to see that in the states. along with that there are cost cutting involved. eventually you will see all games produced at Tiburon. or go back to chicago
