Re: NBA Elite?

"Now, if someone makes a shot from half court, you can't get mad because it's entirely skill-based."

I hate when guys say stuff like this, it bothers the hell out of me. I'm sure the guy wants to improve the game but there are some things you need to just not say.

This is not a good thing in any real bball fan's mind b/c they know that kind of stuff doesn't happen, especially in the middle of a real game.

Re: NBA Elite?

something about EA sports and name changes give me hope and trust you all remember the transition from Triple play to MVP how did that turn out again?

Re: NBA Elite?

Love this new of the new name and physics engine. It's something I have been asking for years. Can't wait to see actually dunk collisions.

Hold Your Horses People!

In my humble opinion, people have been slamming the NBA live series for six years. Everyone has been asking for change, and talking about how poorly the game was done for so long. Now that the game is actually going in a totally different direction, and making some major changes, I think it should be a welcomed shift. If the new "Elite 11" team has incorporated physics into a game similar to euphoria, it would be spectacular. I noticed that someone mentioned that they try to sell breaking animations every year, but even Live 10 was plagued with tons of animations that drove me insane. If you look at some of the things that were done in Backbreaker, the physics system that euphoria has supplied in a game makes for some spectacular plays.

I'm not familiar with what type of real-time physics EA is using but anything would be better than that animation based mess 2K has right now. I'm not saying that 2K is a bad game, but it has always suffered from being heavy on animations and lacking control. I actually think 2K's features are second to none, and along with their online leagues, EA has a long way to go to catch up in those departments. The NBA live development team made some major strides when they implemented foot planting and the dribble stick. I read comments on here all the time from people who are saying that they want more control. Now, you're getting more control and personally, I think that any control is better than no control at all. Besides, most of everything that's being said about the game at this point is all speculation.

I'm looking forward to some of the changes they've made because I think it's good that someone is finally digging into the next GEN technology that's available on the newer systems. With the release of Backbreaker, and the introduction of real-time physics in Elite and NHL, we're finally moving into some new and unique gaming experiences. My advice to everyone would be to just sit back and wait. I think both titles are making major strides this year and competition is definitely on. With 2K making a push to get Michael Jordan on the cover along with possibly adding the throwback teams, and Elite 11 introducing real-time physics it sounds like next year's basketball gaming is going to be a really good year. Buckle your seatbelts OS gamers, looks like we'll be in for a wild ride in 2011...

Re: NBA Elite?

I feel some dissapointed !!

Every year EA provides new features, and changes the directions...

It's good but it always lose focus on other things..

ex:

08 -- Go to move, bad gameplay, canned moves, boring dynasty,horrible models,none injury, terrible presentation, etc..

09 -- dynamic DNA, bad gameplay, canned moves, boring dynasty,horrible models, terrible presentation, etc..

10 -- good gameplay&control, canned moves, awful DNA, boring dynasty, none injury, terrible presentation, etc...

11 -- analogic control ....come on!!
So now NBA elite ?? for me ...it's a joke!!

Why does EA can't just improve the original shortcomings!!!

I want a simple, fundamental, real, sim, basketball game!! That's it !!

NBA live 10 may be my last EA game!!

Dude you really sound stupid right now. I mean you haven't even seen the game outside of a few pictures and you are complaining about what they didn't do.

Re: NBA Elite?

^ I think you missed his point. I took what he was saying as traditionally EA has come out with these game breaking features but allowed something else to fall by the wayside, so he's like: UH-OH! Why not just fix what was a solid foundation instead of starting down a new path.

To some degree I agree with that sentiment. I really have mixed feelings about this new thing. I elaborated a lot more in the Physics thread but for the most part I am afraid this could be a repeat of what happened when they first came out w/freestyle dribbling. Either way being that no one has seen the game it's really not possible to complain about it only to respond to the info we have so far.

I was about to say the same thing. Everything in basketball is not always skill, and half court shots is one of those things that leans more toward luck than skill. The way it sounds, with enough practice someone could come down and hit them with no problem.

If anything, I'm not sure how that shooting meter works completely, but that window should decrease the further away from the basket you get.

[Jano]

Re: NBA Elite?

Yes I agree Ruff if the meter decreases the farther away you are then I can kind of live with it. But if it literally is all skill based like he says I'm going to have a problem.

Thank god the rest of the previous Live team is there so they may be able to keep things in line.

Re: NBA Elite?

I wonder if players who fade back or don't shoot traditionally will have to be pushed back with the body stick too?

I could see confusion coming though between a shot and a dribble move, unless there is a modifier to make it definitely a shot/move

Thinking the same thing....

Re: NBA Elite?

I'm so sick of this make us work crap. If I want to really go play basketball I will go play basketball. The main reason why I prefer Live over 2k is the control set up and not using a shot stick!!!!

Please do not take a way the dribble moves from the right stick!!!!!!!!! We dont want the comp to tell us what moves to make when dribbling.

No i get his point but my point is that all we know of this "new direction" is real time physics and right stick shooting which aside from the physics is nothing new at all so who is to say that they aren't building on the foundation. People just need to wait and stop with the doom and gloom until we get something more concrete.

Re: NBA Elite?

Nothing is being taken away. They are expanding.

I'm so sick of the overreaction here on the boards. Just WAIT. It's not that hard.
