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

[carnalnirvana]

well.......

my god.....

damn.........

cpu post up is still broken, cpu still shots ugly shots on post ups because they cant back down effectively, everything is warping, rash and ugly.

fisher was doing a jab step, rondo took the charge but he fell like he had been leveled by a 2 ton person.

everything in the physics just feels forced just to express physics.

i did like that you cant just dribble infront of A defenders face blatantaly they reach in,... CPU kobe tried an array of moved to free himself up( however kobe never displays handle like that EVER)...

I agree with you that EA shouldn't have gone in this direction until they were ready to add more polish than what we see in the demo, but when you look at it 2k incorporated many of the elements that Live did better.

If you want an upgraded Live 10 you've got it....NBA 2k11. I can understand why EA wanted to provide something unique. There are many times animations can get you frustrated in 2k no matter how beautiful the game looks. Elite is now that alternative.

I can't comment on the demo too much I only got a glimpse this morning before I had to leave it.

So far I'm not a fan of the controls but I'm going to keep "practicing."


I have this real fear of the shooting being way too easy. I hit almost everything I have thrown up so far after about 5 mins of practice. Difficulty setting change may help.

Hey I think it's cool you can go to OT in the demo. I let the Lakers hang in one game just to see.

Six Step or REanimator the late game AI seems a little off. When the computer is down under 1 min Fisher just seems to jack the first bad 3 he can get. On a coupel dead ball inbouds plays he caught and shot way to deep and way to quick for the time and score.

Downloaded and deleted within an hour...innovative control scheme though. I'm sure it will be a great game in 2013. I was a fan of Live 10 and now the only issue is...I gotta find out a way to get NBA Jam without buying Elite...

On the other hand the lack of a turbo / speed button im not diggin at all. This game will definitely take some time to get used to and hopefully it wont put me off from it. its definitely going to be hard to play 2 basketball games this year because of the different control schemes on each. I still like the direction they are heading game feels different from 10 which i hated

yea the lack of turbo is killing me right now. its like all the players are running at the same speed and when i want to speed up or slow down i cant.

its not like this is madden where the only time you are not running full speed is when you are trying to find a hole to run in. its like either im walking or running and when im not running at full speed its unintentionally like when im trying to drive to the hole or go around a pick

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!

You should really just stop posting in this thread now. Your impressions stopped a long time ago and it's getting really old reading about "ps2 graphics". You're not doing anything but trolling at this point.

Over the past couple years I turned from the 2k series to live and was really excited for this year. I haven't been on the forums for months until recently. I came on and saw they scrapped a tremendous came for a project. Ok, that sucks but let's see how it goes. After today I can officially say I'm a 2K guy again. The AI is atrocious. The announcing is embarrassing. The graphics are, well, I don't need to say it. The controls are "meh" -- and albeit an attempt to be revolutionary, what really happened is you guys shot yourself in both feet with shotguns. Sales will dictate how bad of a move this will be. Don't think just because we're sim gamers here we don't in some way represent what casual gamers are going to say and do. The single biggest move that EA did was make the graphics aweful and casusal gamers will not stand for that. Returns and word of mouth will destroy sales. Maybe the EA hype machine can overmarket this game and trick a few, but eventually it's going to catch up. Shame on you EA.

Live 10 was such a breath of fresh air. Spacing, ball movement, penetration to collapse the defense, then kick it out to the open shooter. I preferred it over 2K10.

I am still in shock from what I played last night. It is like taking one step forward, and five steps back. I just don't understand how the powers that be could sign off in this change of direction. When Live FINALLY gained some momentum. Very interested in seeing the sales numbers a month or so after release. I can see why NBA Jam is used as bait in this case. It really makes me sad.
