Its unfortunate for EAsports even though Nba live 10 was good and Elite 11 may be better its hard to re-gain trust from all the fans that theyve lost. And some theyll never regain their trust. Its almost like when you first meet a female you like and that one time something goes horribly wrong and she never talks to you again. No matter much better things get for you because that memory is stuck in her head. So i understand the people who are frustrated with EAsports basketball games. But this game looks like it deserves a chance.

Looks awesome im just wondering... how do you contest shots without going for the block?

Re: 7 Minute NBA Elite 11 Video (Gamespot)

I'm reading some good things but it seems to be improving on an area that was already strong last year (player control). Now I'm glad that it's being improved even further. The physics system sounds great and total control over legs and hands will just add to it all but I'm still concerned about basketball fundamentals.

The fastbreak was covered by stepsix so I hope that is ironed out as it's a game breaker.

Rebounding?

AI, AI, AI. Physics and control are great but mean nothing if the AI is not improved upon. Fastbreak AI, rebounding AI, defensive AI. Not just the physics and animations on how it plays out.

That's what I really want to know about.

Rebounding is 100x better than last year from what we saw at community day.

When you say better does that mean the ball actually deflected off the rim/backboard and went where it should (ie. long rebounds & and or bouncing off at the correct angles based on the path it took from the shooter) or are you simply saying they were more easily gotten by the player in the proper position?

Re: 7 Minute NBA Elite 11 Video (Gamespot)

I'd have to say the angles SEEMED right when we were playing, didn't really look at that much. Due to the fact we didn't have much 5 on 5 time, from what I saw, players that got in the proper position got the rebound and the "suction-action" seemed to be removed.

Sounds good, thanks for answering. I see someone asked a dev a similar question in another thread so I'll see how he responds too, maybe I can get even more insight.

Looks good. I like how they are ignoring they are stealing the shot stick but eh, a good idea is a good idea. As bravo for trying to make a better game. Just please don't skimp on the extras and start adding them in the years to come as "new features".

sir they have not created a shot stick in the sense of 2k. they have it on the same stick as the dribble. not only that but in 2k a flick in any direction causes a shot. this is not how elite has it applied.

they did this to give us complete control over the trajectory of shots. left miss, right miss, short, or strong, its user controlled.

so imagine your at the free throw line and need to miss a shot. you can then send said shot towards your best re-bounder.

2k shot stick has no such control. moves are mapped to each direction you push the stick.

you know what they say about people who assume.

Re: 7 Minute NBA Elite 11 Video (Gamespot)

Game looks Super improved! Can't wait to get my hands on a demo! The amount of user control is simply impressive!!!

Re: 7 Minute NBA Elite 11 Video (Gamespot)

Yes, fatigue will be a factor.

The guy who sits beside me was testing out some fatigue stuff today, and he sat there for 3 minutes running the player around in circles to get him tired enough to test.

It was funny to watch

Thanks rEAnimator...a couple of additional questions:

SHOOTING:

• Will the user be able to influence the "arc" on the shot?...Also will we be able to use the backboard for bank shots?

GAME SPEED:

• Most games (i.e MADDEN) these days IMO seem to have game speed issues (too fast)...Some of the posters already commented on the speed of Elite with things happening very fast. Can or will the game speed be toned down?..I ask this because at a slightly slower speed I think users get a better opportunity to enjoy the subtle nuances you guys put into the game but when players are hyper speeding all over the court its likely we will not see much of the detail work you guys put into animations etc...Your thoughts on a slightly slower game speed?

ONLINE PLAY:

• Any plans for online league play? (web support/32 teams?)
• Online use of Multiple Camera Options?

Re: 7 Minute NBA Elite 11 Video (Gamespot)

Like I said..it def looks great...I just cant wait to really get my hands on it and try this puppy out...honestly, I loved the control I had last year....so thats cool theyre improving it, but my concern lies elsewhere...I hope there isnt as much if a generic feel as there was last year when implementing these new things...these buzz words, breakdowns, screens just dont do anything for me anymore I guess....cant wait!

[dwademvp]

hey rEAnimator is there gonna be a chasedown block in the game? It would be awesome if you guys implement it in the game!
