==Cancelled Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions==
Developers of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions aimed to completely change the game's control system but were pressed for time with an 18-month [[software development|development cycle]]. A [[game demo|demo]] released during development was plagued with [[software bug|glitches]] that were heavily publicized, including one [[YouTube]] video of player [[Andrew Bynum]] stuck in the middle of the court in the model's [[bind pose]].<ref name="Kotaku1">{{Cite web |last=9/21/10 6:20pm 9/21/10 6:20pm |title=The Passion Of The Bynum |url=http://kotaku.com/5644326/the-passion-of-the-bynum |access-date=2013-09-01 |publisher=Kotaku.com |archive-date=2013-09-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130904205410/http://kotaku.com/5644326/the-passion-of-the-bynum |url-status=live }}</ref> Another glitch involved [[Luol Deng]], whose character had a "hotspot" from the left baseline from which he almost never missed. Developers were aware of an animation bug but intended to fix it before release. After internal review of the game, EA deemed its quality unsatisfactory and cancelled it.<ref>{{Cite web |last=12/02/10 4:00pm 12/02/10 4:00pm |title=How A Big Video Game Was Killed |date=2 December 2010 |url=http://kotaku.com/5704605/how-a-big-video-game-was-killed |access-date=2013-09-01 |publisher=Kotaku.com |archive-date=2010-12-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101204132419/http://kotaku.com/5704605/how-a-big-video-game-was-killed |url-status=live }}</ref>
