The killer part is it was their fault the game did that... They broke Live 10... then over juiced all of the ratings so if you beat a man off the dribble his extra high defensive recovery rating fought with the man dribbling normally, so it would cause sliding and out of control animations

I started a huge thread with evidence and they ignored it... then posted that video trying to pump up e -LITE, but they had centers jumping from the FT line at any given time....

Give me a break... putting a hockey dude in charge of basketball was the most stupid thing anybody in that office could ever do

I still laugh at those today:

'Elite is being better than the best'

'Elite is true to the game' etc.

and hearing Brandon Jennings and Steph Curry talk about how they can't wait for the game to come out and people play it... they're still waiting

I knew Elite 11 would be a disaster when they mentioned the game had no Turbo, had dribble and shot controls both on the right stick, and if you shot a perfect shot it would go in.

That combined with EA Basketball's Animation Tech was just an accident waiting to happen. Then they topped it off by taking a step backwards graphically. Live has a lot of work to do. They should have gotten started earlier and never should of used anything from Elite. It's sad that Live has been sorry this whole gen.

The thing for me personaly, is that i liked Live 10, i had 2k10 and Live 10, and while i enjoyed 2k10 the most, i thought live 10 was good, much better that past year´s live´s. Then EA destroys a good start in Live 10, and does Elite. And now, they are trying to start from Elite, and for me that´s where the problem resides, they should have started from 0 or from Live 10.

That being said, after this i truly expect EA to cancel the series from this generation of consoles, and start doing their game for next-gen.

Same way I felt.

Yeah and there were tons of people eating up everything they said. I know what killed me the most was talking about these shooting controls and the shot being all up to you and all of this. If you got a non licensed basketball game and you wanna give guys the control to make every shot if they know how to release the stick, that's one thing. However the point of a simulation NBA basketball game means some people just can't shoot and you'r'e not meant to make every shot. Being able to hit every shot with Rondo or Ben Wallace or Dwight or Iggy just because the 'control is all up to you' ain't NBA basketball. There were people on here talking like that's how things should be though and spouting out the same buzzwords that were being used in those vids though.

EA was like the ultimate used car dealer when promoting Elite, it was kind of hard to not be curious, at the very least. Coming off of Live 10 I was sure that EA was heading in the right direction and the talks of full control and a new physics system made Elite sound really compelling. I think even before the demo came out people were still some what optimistic that the game, at worst, would be the start of something good. Like I said EA is the ultimate used car dealer and people didn't know how bad the game was until they finally go to try it. For the sake of NBA Live, competition, and the future of basketball games I really hope a similar occurence does not happen again this year because if Live is either complete trash or is cancelled once again EA won't be making a basketball game for a long time....although it would be nice to see a return of NBA Street, EA always had that arcade ball down.
