It was called <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/nba-elite-11"><em>NBA Elite 11</em></a> and the demo was, well, <em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z2bAuZio_8">pretty bad</a> -- </em>bad enough that EA decided to <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/23/ea-on-nba-elite-11-it-was-just-going-to-be-a-bad-game/">cancel the game outright</a>.<br /><br />Since then, we've been bugging EA about when it's going to offer another basketball title -- heck, we didn't even know if EA would get back into the basketball game-making game, period. And with the NBA 2K series <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/08/nba-2k11-is-2k-sports-best-selling-game-ever/">dominating</a>, it's an even steeper uphill battle for EA. But this fall, EA is <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/05/next-ea-basketball-simulation-game-coming-fall-2012/">bringing its basketball series back</a>.<br /><br />The EA Sports Twitter account <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/EASPORTS/status/172756448898580480">revealed</a> today the series would return as <em>NBA Live 13</em>. EA says it had Cavaliers beat writer Joe Gabriele and Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving out to the studio to check out <em>NBA Live 13</em>, but neither could offer more info. We'll have to wait for EA's announcement for more.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/23/eas-next-basketball-sim-is-nba-live-13/">EA's next basketball sim is NBA Live 13</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:15:00 EST.
