NBA Elite 11 Video: Exclusive Physics Diary

[Pared]

Resources and the lack of time my man. Every team has them. I could point out many games where specific areas suffer because of this. It's a staple of the industry.

Unfortunately for this series signature stuff has been ignored for far too long. But there a lot of guys they have invited that won't let this point go overlooked any longer. They hear us, trust me.

I know the waiting is old, but there's only so much you can do in a yearly cycle.

Disagree. You can blame them for falling so far behind that they have to make a such a drastic change ,but thats another topic. Anyways the best course of action is to take the most important aspect (which for them is RTP) and get it as close to down pat as possible. Then move on to other things.

Will Elite 11 have any type of signature moves such as dunks or layups?

Yes there were sig dunks and moves in Live 10 too. LBJ and Wade had their own signatures step back moves, dunks, and shots.

Kobe had a sig fadeaway, Tony Parker had a sig floater, Shawn Marion had is ugly little runner, etc.

Certain players had their own sizeup moves too (Rose had a different one from Kobe)

The game had sig moves just not as many as 2K10 and I'm sure they are going to add more moves this year.

Amazed By The RTP But What I Love Is The Fact That The Ball Is Live And Not Stuck To The Offensive Player Both Games Look Promising This Year....

I agree with you on the player models. Whoever chooses them just doesn't pay enough attention or doesn't have the right variety of models to choose from.

- Shaq looks more like Shaq from the Orlando days but with his 38 year old Head

- Zaza Pachulia and lots of other reserve big men just look way too slight

- Even Dwight, last years cover boy looks somewhat man child ish (can't work out which proportions are doing this).

Some skinnier payers looks great though.

I think one of the main problems with bigger or fatter guys like Shaq is their hips/ waist. They've got Shaq bulked up, but more with muscle then fat so his waist and legs are too athletic.

not impressed at all, EA has to sell me with their demo, seen some good thing in the trailer, but also seen some bad things

I think the thing about Live is that the players look skinny from the side camera, but when you zoom in or go closeup, the proportions and sizes look good. It's like the opposite of 2K in a way, where the players look great from gameplay camera, but often appear a bit on the bulky side. 2K has improved a bit on this recently but I don't see too much of a change so far with Elite. I'll wait til a graphics blog (or final code HD shots) before I judge.
