NBA Elite 11 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

Re: NBA Elite 11 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

So basically the guy in the video found the game to suck hard...

because he didn't even attempt to learn to play. (while at the same time knowing that Elite controls differently from past games).

That's interesting.

If one word can sum up my impressions it would be Meh.....Overall it was okay but is there such a thing as too much control? i found myself actually getting pissed off just cause i missed a bunny by that much....I don't know maybe it adds to the intrigue knowing that you actually have the control to hit a gamewinner or miss it....That being said I'm probably going to get more pissed before i get better

Lakers Vs Celtics gameplay. Still getting used to the controls as you will see haha

After watching this video, I really don't even want to give it a shot. Animations are... strange. Graphics made me think of NBA Live 98, though they are better than 98 of course, but 2K blows Elite out of the water in these 2 areas. and the ball/net interaction doesn't look right either. Sorry EA, I really wanted to like you this year, but I'm giving it a no-go.

Bro it doesn't take long to flick the right stick for moves and learn the passing the game is just terrible. Any idiot can learn this game, but it's not worth playing.

In the Boston Vs LA video I admit I wasn't to comfortable with the controls. But I played about an hour more after that video and really got used to them. I'll be putting up another video today displaying the difference between 1st play and after learning the controls more throughly. Once I get home from class lol

This game will get higher review scores than 2k because sites will give them a pass since it's back to year one excuse.(ala 2k mlb when they changed the pitching) I wanted both games to be good but I think it's 2k for me. Maybe in a year or two they will get this a little better but it's cool they tried.

Re: NBA Elite 11 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

correction. your right. Its LB+RB plus face buttons. Sorry about that. It's just terribly clunky and slow. About the worst I've ever seen it in a video game since Icon passing started

Im having better luck on pass quickness and accuracy using the free style passing, RB+Right stick on alternate control scheme

Did you see my previous post? There is simply a delay on bringing up the icons.

The bumper plus face button combination works immediately. Your player passes as soon as you do it; You don't have to wait for the icons to show up.

Still, a very confusing thing to the general user. Most would think you have to wait. Very bad implementation and I would hope the final is not like this.

@ryan36

why delete the video? it was just his impressions.. nothing else

just cause of the language?

he said himself live 10 was a very good game, he just didnt like elite.. nothing inappropriate imo (well, may b some f and s words but hey ..)

Read the TOS. Then stay on topic.

Usually you watch a video and you can't get the true feeling of the game. WIth this video -- you can. It's choppy, ugly, robotic, out-of-sync feeling is exactly how it plays.

I actually thought the game looked much better with that angle because it hid some of the issues with the verticals and animations looked smoother. It didn't appear to look as herky jerky as some other vids with the traditional view.

IDK, maybe it's just me.

This would be a great game if this was 2006. And if this was the first itteration of this game on the next gen systems.I can see the direction in which the developers want to go but by the time they get there no one will be interested. Physics based ...great idea but you gotta have the essence of the game The controls I could get used to but the gameplay is appauling. 2K all the way

Played the demo, and one word sums up my impressions. Dissapointment.

After playing the 2K demo I don't understand how someone would want to play, and buy this game.

I hate the controls. Had to turn them off, and go back to the classic controls. They weren't as responsive as I wanted them to be in the demo. I would go up for a dunk, and instead my player would do a leaning jumpshot.

The player graphics are average at best, (looks like NBA 09 Inside) they have this bland and glossy look, which I don't like at all. It's time for EA to overhaul the graphics, and animation system in this game!!

I couldn't play more than 10 minutes of the demo. It was frustrating to see. Uninstalled the demo, and I asked myself why did I waste my time with this game?!? Thank God for the competition!

Thanks for saving me 15 minutes of my life...based on all the videos and impressions in this thread I'm not even DL this demo...can't believe after years of supporting Live and rooting for them its a wrap..Its over...I'm on to the other game.

+I like that they give you more control over your pivot foot

+I like the fact that I can do standing crossovers and BTB dribbles

-The graphics dont look good at all

-The animations are funny

-Dribbing with the left stick feels weird and look even weirder when setting up the offense. It loos like a crab dribble

-Lack of turbo

-RTP didn't impress me

You better believe we will be going back through this thread and handing out infractions.

Some of these comments are completely out of line and will be handled appropriately.

I feel bad for the Devs..I know those guys work hard and want a great product...But in my years of following and purchasing many EA products I know that a developers hands are tied while they can be forced to follow the EA business mantra of appealing to a BROAD spectrum. Unfortunately they often end up alienating both ends of the spectrum. I've always said they are the McDonald's of the videogame industry. As a business model the McDonald's formula is great but for gamers like many at OS that are hardcore simulation junkies one stop sports videogame shopping is not gonna cut it.

Where Does LIVE...ooops err Elite go from here???
