The fact that nfl retro football never came out and most of its info is lost right now is a massive tragedy. Apparently Shigeru Miyamoto was somehow disappointed in the game as well as most of what they were working on, which led them to develop metroid prime

I wonder how many promised features for NFL Retro would've actually been incorporated, GameCube discs were starved for data.

Do NBA Elite!

[@avrysportsshow]

One of the more interesting canceled games has to be Road To Sunday. Sony/SCEA's attempted reply to Blitz The League in 2005. Would have also had an open-world exploration element to the football story mode.

Other cancelled sports games include Madden NFL 96 on PS1 and NBA Live 13 for PS3 & Xbox 360.

I love learning about cancelled games, it's so interesting to see what could have been. Also, you should for sure make a seperate video for Elite 11

[@futuregohan4837]

Crushed Baseball 2004 Would've Been Great

[@RingsideCinema]

Speaking of cancelled video games, has there ever been word on what was going to become of NFL 2K6? We know that had to be in development even before EA picked up the license for good, would like to hear about the story of what was going to be featured in NFL 2K6 and how they were going to build off NFL 2K5.

[@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904]

They made all pro football 2k8, aka the best football game ever made

[@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904]

@Taj James the mechanics are phenomenal and better than any game. It's a shame it couldn't use NFL teams because then it would've definitely had a full franchise mode

[@dennisbowen452]

best guess: all pro football 2k8 is basically what 2k6 would have been

[@carsoncottrell4435]

@@dennisbowen452 except with a franchise mode and the NFL license or maybe not because APF 2k8 was in development for 3 years but it would have been NFL 2k5 but better

@@carsoncottrell4435 absolutely. i still say 2k8 was what 2k6 was gonna be on next gen. when did people get dev kits for the 360 or ps3? cause the 360 came out rhe next year so most teams probably got it probably around 2004

[@TheNewChevyRoll48]

The NFL exclusive for the Gamecube sounds like it would've been a blast to play and the same goes for the baseball game with all those creative stadiums. I also remember the Arena Football game that was planned for the Atari Jaguar, but considering the Jaguar's controller has 15 buttons it was probably for the best that the game never got released.

[@P8NPrivTV]

So sad some of these were never released. That "Crushed Baseball '04" game seemed like it would've been the MLB version of NHL Hitz 2002

[@stoof4159]

this guy is so underrated. people should listen to this guy

[@TheMeefive]

The irony is that 211 had the same 'Jesus' glitch along with many others like getting stuck out of bounds, invisible players clipping, teleporting, to name a few.

[@DudesPod]

I genuinely look forward to when these come out. Love your channel, dude. Ever considered looking at the expansion mode of All Star Baseball 04? The game itself is no MVP Baseball, but it has an amazing expansion mode.

[@chicagoakland]

I LOVED that mode as a kid. I'm surprised The Show hasn't stolen that for Franchise mode yet. (Then again, The Show has neglected Franchise mode for the past half decade, so...)

[@osu5inarow]

If you ever need a video idea, you could always do the third competitor that nobody talks about in the short lived Madden vs 2k era is 989 sports and their NFL Game day series. Gameplay. I remember in the game they'd had players trash talk and actually swear while you could cheap shot players after the play.

One of the few examples of a game canceled after an actual release is a sports video game! Ashes Cricket 2013 was so bad that they stopped selling it two days after release, and offered refunds to anyone who bought it.

[@_Juukbox_]

I've always been interested in NBA Elite 11. Not because I thought it was any good, but because they took chances in this game. It obviously failed but because of this, it may be the reason why sports games don't take many chances these days. NBA Live hasn't recovered from this mistake.
