EA is just trying to avoid the embarrassment of cancelling back to back basketball titles and doing irreparable damage to their relationship with the NBA. Will the game be quality? There is a very, very slim chance. However they aren't doing what they're doing for the reasons 2K did what it did.
Oh I know that EA has a very different set of reasons for their decision to price the game at $20. I just find the assumption "A $20 price point is waving the white flag" a bit silly. This is EA trying to make the best of a horrible situation from what I can tell. It doesn't necessarily mean they're giving up with this franchise.
