NBA Elite 11 (2010 — Cancelled)

NBA Elite 11 is the most spectacularly aborted sports title in history, cancelled before release after a viral demo showed Andrew Bynum's body contorting into a demonic pretzel during warm-ups. The catastrophic launch cost EA an estimated $60 million in development and lost sales, a financial disaster unmatched by any other item here. It's 40% more infamous than #3 eFootball 2022 for being pulled entirely, rather than released in a broken state. The demo's glitches became a cultural meme, ensuring this game is remembered as a cautionary tale of quality control failure.
