NBA Elite 11 Hands-On Preview with Control Screenshots

[Steve_OS]

Last week, while the Los Angeles Lakers were next door at Staples Center adding another chapter to their illustrious dynasty, the longest-running NBA video game franchise was in the early stages of adding a new chapter of its own. At E3, NBA Elite 11 was introduced in a private booth, and we were there for a hands-on experience.

HADOUKEN!

No, a Hadouken is a quarter circle. That, sir, is a half circle.

Spinning Bird Kick FTW..... No seriously, I am also interested to see how this one turns out. I like they are trying to innovate the series and it looks like they may be onto something here.

Yea why is Lebron rubbing his chin on the rim? This is going to be a failure.

damn some of you write off EA way to easy. I know that every year its usually the same old story with EA but seeing how Fifa and NHL have gotten huge improvements over the past years this could be the beginning of something good for the NBA franchise and basketball games in general. At worst this game will at least be a great starting off point to improving the game.

"However, since the Elite team is trying to reward the skilled players this year, there is quite a learning curve involved in the execution of these moves. A bad stick maneuver will not only cause you to lose your dribble, but you might also launch into an unwanted shot since shooting is mapped to the same stick. "

Cool, reward us skilled playazzz! Ha. The part about shooting accidentally is something that concerned me from jump when first hearing of the integration of the shooting with the moves stick, especially in the heat of the moment but I definitely feel that learning NOT to do that is going to be apart of mastering the sticks.

Another thing - I still don't understand the hate on what EA is trying to do with this game not to mention the game is nowhere near finished yet there are negative judgments.
