NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks

[corleone89bkk]

The part that I'm blown away by is that the animations seem to have taken a MASSIVE leap backwards. Live has never had solid animations, but somehow they just got worse. It seemed everything was in warp speed. Plus the ball/rim/net interactions are still awkward as hell. I'm looking forward to the demo to see how everything feels when actually playing, but it sure isn't pretty to watch.

Definitely right man...

Wasn't there supposed to be another video or is that not supposed to be today?

The graphics certainly don't look as good as Live 10, the jerseys are especially bad. I don't what kind of texture they're using this year but the whites don't look white anymore. Too much reflection going on. Throughout that whole video I could have sworn the Knicks were wearing platinum colored jerseys.

As far as gameplay is concerned, the bad definitely outweighed the good. Overall the dribbling looked pretty good; definitely looks like you have total control over what you do. But one thing that is disappointing is the foot planting, or lack there-of. Sliding everywhere.

Also, the contact animations are really just too awkward to impress me. Just doesn't seem organic at all. The Salmons switch hand layup was just bonkers. No way anybody could have done that in real-life, it just seems that this total control concept might enable us to do unrealistic things that, ironically, defy the laws of physics when the big selling point of this game IS real-time physics.

Thanks for sharing Steve_OS....as usual brother your exclusive are great and nice quality.

After saying that, I hated almost everything about this video, from the poor camera angle that pretty much ruined it from the jump. To the hideous commentary, it was just so quiet and boring. These guys don't sound like that in real life what happened in the transition to video games?

Not feeling the player models at all either, look like they did go back to Live 09, even Dwight Howard and Lebron in the OS Screenshots looks bad. Jumpshots and animations as a whole are just not good during players movements.

No crowd movements or reactions or anything, they were Lil Jon crunk in Live 10, something there took a hit.

I'm with a lot of the other OS vets....just not feeling it at all right now. I seriously don't know what happened? I'm still loving Live 10, but Elite hasn't shown me one thing that says,"Buy".

Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks

Where do I start?

Player movement looks "goofy", ball, rim and net physics are still off, but EA have already stated that wasn't a focus this year. The commentary is lifeless and made we want hit the mute button after the first 30 seconds. The animations and RTP need a lot of work as well.

It would've helped if they used the broadcast camera angle, I can't stand the behind the player camera angle and the camera swinging around after every made basket or opposition steal/block/rebound.

Before anyone jumps on me and calls me a 2K fanboy I'm just giving my honest impressions. I had high hopes for Elite so this is disappointing.

There's still a lot of work to do to get this game to the standard that a next gen basketball title should be.

Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks

I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but the guys over at EA need to scrap the animations they have now, and do a complete overhaul to the system.

It would be stupid if this wasn't first priority for next year. It's whats killing this series right now.

I don't know how much more outspoken the community has be with this.

The game can have the best controls in Sports gaming history, a real time physics engine(witch appears to be a disappointment in and of itself) but until it manages to capture the look and finesse of an NBA game it will continue to be looked at as a 2nd rate Basketball game.

I'm sure the devs work hard and I respect their ambition for this title but there's still a lot of work to do to get this game to the standard that a next gen basketball title should be.

but we gotta stop being picky when you are playing this game on your own you wont notice this stuff unless you are pausing and rewinding youll notice lots of negatives

Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean their hating.

Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks

what happens is sales happen. and You guys complain about Looks and graphics, shoes, little things that may be cherry stuff/whip cream stuff. but not things that will make the game play like a hoop Sim. they start on trying to make a hoop sim. and the fans respond just like in this thread. "looks horrible, commentators, it looks like old live, blah blah blah" not that they're wrong. they are right to an extent and can voice their opinions. the problem is no one realizes if you keep saying graphics, graphics, graphics. thats what they will end up changing the direction to graphics and animations that you cant break out of because it wont look smooth. its not about basketball its about the LOOK and nothing else is what they hear. so they will change the game to be what you want it to be. there are only a few of us who REALLy want a sim game. we are in the minority. if you dont believe it, listen to this thread. what is the biggest complaint? the look/graphical appeal. even after they told us all that graphics would suffer. so this is a get your hands on it game. even still they talk about graphics/look.

here's the deal, put up with wack graphics this year if you find out in the demo that the total control thing is great, just look wack.

next year they will combine the two. you say they change every year? not true. they are now adding on to things. they had the downloads from synergy sports that changed the basketball gaming for ever. now they are going with real time physics. this will do the same. now they need to present a better LOOKING game. they will have all year for that before nba elite 12. this is not the usual"next year" talk. they did the same thing with NHL. they revamped it. and it took a few years to be the best sports game out there so people swear.

If the gameplay looked good then there would be a lot less complaints, people have been cheering for Elite to be good because EA is the underdog for once but this video was disappointing all around. It's pretty hard to judge how the game is going to look with two users but even with two guys who know the ins and outs of the games playing, it still didn't look all that interesting or fun to play. When you combine a boring look game with bad presentation, it makes the game uninteresting and generates the complaints that you see in this thread.

People are paying 60 plus dollars for a game and it's 2010 they have to right to by picky and to expect more, if you like the video fine but people have to right to state their opinion.

Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks

+I really liked those quick plays. Looked real fluid. All the plays called were quick n successful. I really like that about this game over the other.

+The Jennings lay up in the beginning of the video was nice.

+All the ball handling looked real smooth and to imagine doing that on the sticks was nice. The in n out move felton did was real nice. As you can tell I love playing with PG's

+Post up moves look a lot smoother then past Lives.

SOME MINOR ISSUES
-I wish there was more contact, or some blocks....
-That brandon jennings pro hop was kind of floaty and weird looking.
-And players jumping for rebounds with their arms bent just looks flat out stupid.....

IDK??? wasn't as bad to me as others have posted, of course I was just watching it while imagining me playing it.

If it is just live 10 with no suction then I'm still down with that.....

Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean their hating.

You are right man. I think it's just bad taste for those who love Elite. wahehehe... peace guys!
