Programming and animating cost money but its not like they are just goin to throw out all their work and start from scratch. According to ea they cancelled elite (worked on elite 09-10), spent the next year taking apart elite and tryin to see what was worth keeping and trashing (so 10-11), and then began working on live 13 (11-12). Based off that they have roughly a years worth of work into a live title, if they spend another year on the game then live14 has a chance to one be released and two actually be a decent title. Based on the trailer they game has the graphics to compete by the animations and gameplay need work. Ea doesn't need to release a state of the art inovating basketball title, as long as they can release something next year that plays good basketball then they will be in good place or the future.
