    I like it better on Super Star....

    CPU plays with more aggressiveness....they still do some scratch your head type things but mostly their attack style kinda offsets it IMO.

    I've been messing with the sliders in the demo so for me the gameplay has changed from the out of the box demo play.....you guys know me i have to tweak something or else i'll go crazy...........

    I started editing the Celtics playbook getting more shots for Pierce and Allen. I don't like JO touching the ball much because that dude shoots way too often and it looks corny.

    If i switch over and play the Lakers i edit their playbook to the KOBE TRIANGLE LOL!

    That way Mr Ball Hog forces up more shots against me and Mr HOF D.Fisher (Live/Elite PG disaster) doesn't get as many shots.

    I try to play more uptempo even though neither team plays that way.....but it makes it fun for me and the crowd seems to get loud doing the up and down gameplay....by the way crowd is awesome and i'm starting to really like Mike Breen and crew they don't get enough prop's for their announcing as Kerr and Albert became kinda stale to me.

    Some of the dunks help to make the game look a little better in a sense that you don't get to see as many ugly layups.....I put CPU inside shot slider up way high and my fouls slider up high aswell seems to make the interior post play look more lively

    I wish there were seperate shot blocking sliders one for inside and one for outside.....I'd love to lower the outside shot blocking way down but leave the inside shot blocking way up because it would make post defense much better and very challenging for the CPU. I know they used to have a layup/dunk shot block slider must have removed it.

    I'd also like to see the old layup/dunk frequency slider because that would stop some of the silly odd looking shots inside....if a guy is within range to dunk like Bynum or JO they should attack the basket not shoot a soft jumper facing backwards it looks like they are shooting backwards at the goal.

    A dunk layup slider would make them go up strong for the dunk inside.

    Kinda weird because the wing players seem to be more aggressive looking for dunks inside than the big guys.......not sure why that happens but i've seen it often now.

    I'd hate to see Super Man playing inside settle for some soft a$$ jump shot when he should be dunking on clowns.....

    As for the controls well like i said several times i never really had issues with Live controls in years past. Elite controls took me a few days to adjust and i still don't have everything down pat but I'm learning new things every day and they feel pretty awesome. I love the ability to clown dudes in the open floor with dribble moves on the break you have to do it quicky and time them right or else you'll slow down and the defenders will catch up.....i hate how defenders catch Rondo sometimes totally unrealistic but some it is because of me trying to handle the rock and showboat with Rondo on the break

    If i could add one thing right now it would be to make the CPU push the ball more......i figure animations can't be patched or updated but i'm hoping they can atleast boost up the CPU's transistion game for this year and i'll be set playing the game on Super Star with a fast pace

      I have trouble dunking with the big guys as well. they'd be right next to the basket, and they instead "soft shot" it.

        I'm still learning the controls but I'm having a blast with it so far I keep hitting the old turbo button lol. I give ea props for trying something new. I have a feling that with in the next two development cycles once the basic game play is set NBA Elite might be on par with its hockey brothers..
        It's stupid to spend $65 to cheat...play with honor but have fun..

          NHL guy trying NBA Elite 11: Baby I like it!

          And let me tell you... Baby I like it!!! I just like the way the basketball moves on the floor..



          I don't know if it is because I play NHL 11 but I really like NBA Elite 11.. All the people that are complaining seem like they are just so used to the arcade versions of NBA live 10 that they can't handle SKILL!!!

          Anyways, I tried the demo and it is not perfect but it is still a lot of fun once you get good at it!

          You really have to let the controls grow on you. Once you get used to it, it will be a lot of fun.. I plan on making a club and being at the top just like I do in NHL 11..

          Trust me, you are going to be addicted to online Team Play and EASBA especially when your top club faces another top club..

              lol I thought I would get that reaction. I am the girl dancing on the bed in my underwear.

              But anyways... yeah that game is good now. It is no longer random and I can actually control my shot, defense etc.. People who try and play arcadey will probably get burned unless they know a glitch (hook shot glitch) but I am sure that will be fixed

                well like reanimator said, respect what other people want to play or preferred to play. just enjoy the game man...

                  um, so you calling NBA Elite 11 a realistic simulation? riiiight.. its far from it, just like NHL 11..

                  now, dont get me wrong, im buying NBA Elite bc Live gave me the change of pace i needed from the realistic 2k game so to speak. it gave me a casual NBA gamer feel with a touch of realism..

                      Well NHL 11 is pretty realistic compared to NHL 2k.

                      Same thing will happen to NBA Elite in the long term. NBA 2k will get worse and NBA Elite will get better.

                      People are just mad because it is not NBA arcade anymore. You actually have to have skill to play. If anything this is GREAT for hardcore NBA guys because they can control all their players movement instead of pressing a button and having the game decide what happnens

                        I finally understand after playing the demo for 2 hours

                        "Physics" have taken the place of motion capturing players to get realistic movement. Players dont have their sig jumpers, all dribble the dame way, all run the same way, and slide around the floor. Bynum is dribbling like Derrick rose in the demo on superstar level Budget cuts at EA or saving some $$$?

                          Glad you like it, have fun. But as a sim guy this game just doesn't do it for me. Sure its fun and the controls are great but there are just to many thing wrong with the core gameplay and animations to really hold my attention. PLUS im mainly a offline player vs cpu guy and the ai in the game doesn't cut it. This game was made for player vs player so i really have no use for it. But hey as long as you enjoy it thats the important thing.

                            you bring up a good point. I hardly ever play NHL offline (be a pro at least)

                            I am a big online player and I do also play franchise with the Bulls. A.I is not the greatest in ANY EA game.. But over time I am sure they will improve that.

                            They have the core in place. Now the core is inexperienced and young but the potential is there to be great long term

                              I find this post funny for some reason. First...how 2k get worse when its franchise mode is more indepth and Live lacks game modees all they changed was the my player mode...so deliberate on that. Elite definatly isn't arcadey takes patience and concentration to see the game for what it really is,...but it won't appeal to the standard nba fan. When your player goes into a seizure like convulsion on contact thats not you deciding that.. cause last time i cut to the paint in real life i didn't fling my legs out all wild like
