Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Miami Heat @ Orlando Magic

Yes another fellow magic fan. Hope we can get over the hump this yr lol.

But how can you tell that is the old amway arena. The court looks the same for the most part except for maybe the scoreboard and the seats are now black and blue but you cant see the seats in the game

now look where the locker room enterences are on elite and look at the ones in the new amway center..

Wow the sub screen at 4:21 looks like an Atari or something - please tell me that is not the REAL sub screen, WOW, hard to believe.

People need to understand that in any sports game you can make it look sim or arcade by the way you choose to play. Im sure like myself theres a good group of guys that will slow down the gameplay and call plays and make the game look alot better. These vids are just 2 guys going dunk happy with the game. Im sure playmakers global -50 vertical will fix this aspect of the game like it did for live10.

I love the "this is arcade,this is not sim" comments based off of these vid's. So if i played 2k and went dunkfest crazy the game would not be sim?

lmao @ complaining about the sub screen.

I think it looks a lot better from broadcast cam, and will reserve judgement on how it plays until I can, you know, play it.

Man, come on dude, 2K11 is WAY MORE OF SIM then this game, not even close. I think it's more how the game handles, movement and speed of players, guys skating around nearly as much as they do in NHL11, players jumping through each other, minimal collision detection, guys catching the ball out of bounds as play continues, everyone skying like the old Jordan, the mechanics on this game is slanted towards arcade play. Elite should just come out say, hey this game is more of an arcade slant meant for fun - not sim based basketball.

I'm sorry, but the more I look at this game, it shows me that this is a poor representation of what a basketball "simulation" should be. I cannot stand it.

Haven't watched the vid yet, is this user vs user gameplay?

Right but i dont know for sure but has ea ever been that detailed when it comes to arena. Things i have known them to focus on in that area is just the courts. Yea i wish they would be as detailed as madden/ncaa are with stadiums.

Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Miami Heat @ Orlando Magic

Altering of shots when contact was made was evident...But I can see this game being very annoying when you play online and people start going one on one with Wade and LeBron...You can see that this game is a dunkfest just from these short clips.

The players run funny...they move to damn fast and the flow of the game and passing just seems off to me. I've bought live every year since next gen but I'll definitely not touch this game...I probably can't even see myself wasting time on the demo...Disappointing to see this game so so far backwards

not if you want arcade ball...This game is a good representation of what ARCADE basketball is and should be

Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Miami Heat @ Orlando Magic

The hot step with dunk from Carter..not good. And what's up with hot step/step back move with Carter, saw it twice and in both occasions it looks weird. The first dunk with Wade around the :55 mark, you know where Carter conviently got out of way, and he dunk on i think Pietrus is the worse. What's difference between that situation and the one this one: http://www.youtube.com/user/MrOperat...39/uB2sV4_uPkU

I see a lot of comments saying based upon these videos that this is not "sim"...I'm not saying I disagree but you guys have different definitions of "sim" based upon responses...so what does "sim" mean to you guys? Realistic stats? Realistic shoes?

Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Miami Heat @ Orlando Magic

too fast for me - but i'd reserve my final word on gamespeed till we get the direct capture vids next week..

that said - good vid, too dunk happy for my taste, but thats a measure of the gamers more than anything else imo.. rtp kicks in where it needs to (not very elegantly though) and the ball does seem very 'live'

good showcase of the fast breaking heat vs the half court magic.. P&Rs still look to open up gaping holes in the defence.

one thing that jumped out me though, there was a point where lebron was leading the pack on the fast break.. and howard was the closest defender chasing back.. howard seem to match lebron for speed all the way till a block animation stopped him stone cold.. six feet from the rim.. D12's straight line speed is the same as lebron's ? and i wish the block animation that he so suddenly jumped into was more contextual - a block from behind, keeping his forward motion in play..

all said though - live/elite's stock is rising. anyone know when the demo drops ?

Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Miami Heat @ Orlando Magic

Finally a transition game! Nice to see you can actually get out and run in Elite, that was a major issue in L10. Unfortunately that's about were the positives end with this clip.

Five of the seven Heat field goals were dunks. Seems like if you just mess around with the sticks long enough you'll get by your man and get to the hole at will. Even if you're Wade or LBJ you should get punished if you toy with the ball THAT much while dribbling.

Duhwight was essentially a non-factor in terms of protecting the rim. So far the only thing resembling defense in the paint is if you get a mid-air collision (and somehow a foul is not called).

It will be interesting to see how slider tweaking and difficulty level will affect this sort of thing.
