NBA Elite 11 Hands-On Preview with Control Screenshots

Re: NBA Elite 11 Hands-On Preview with Control Screenshots

I was gonna say, doesn't LeBron's head go above the rim on pretty much every dunk??

I'm a little worried about the accidental shots as well, especially if it as difficult as it seems to pull of some of these moves, it almost seems inevitable that it will happen. I'm going to reserve my judgement for when I can actually get my hands on the new control scheme and try it for myself.

The only thing I hope for is the 100% smoothness of animations and the transitioning between them. The slow motion alley oops and lay ups were unbearable for me last year.

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

Do you people watch real NBA games?

Well the one thing that gives me hope is the fact that most of the dribble moves seem to come from downward motions.

So even if we do attempt to dribble the ball the chances of accidentally putting up a shot are a bit lower.

But I guess thats something we will all have to wait and see on for sure..

Yeah, I guess that's true too...hopefully the sensitivity of moving the stick side ways doesn't effect shooting because that could cause some issues too. But like I said, we will see.

Guys, enough with the senseless remarks.

Thanks.

another good read though it was hard to get a read on his personal feelings from his experience. i hope to see more info throughout the day though. Elite is seeming more and more like a great step for basketball games in general.

also to hear that if your stick skills are not up to par you will lose the ball makes me very happy. so all those dudes that just move the stick in any direction with no real skill will lead me to many fast breaks

love this. check out these.

. Is there anything you'd like me to shed some further light on?

Personally, I thought it has great potential, the reason I love stick controls over buttons is the amount of variety that could be mapped to the sticks as opposed to buttons. In these sports games that release annually, depth and variety can go a long way.

It will be interesting to see how the dribbling and shooting work well together in the final version. I found it easier to make shots placing the face of my thumb on the bottom of the right stick - as opposed to having it directly on top of it like I do when dribbling.

Great read. I'm excited about the possibilities, and the idea that stick skills will actually matter in a basketball simulation is supremely satisfying.

thanks. that right there gives me more hope. not that its needed because as most can tell by my name which game im getting. but really though how did you feel about defense because the other info we have says there were problems but he played in may and you played at e3. did you see the same things.

Any clue if the RS dribbling control will be "absolute" or " relative" to player movement?

Re: NBA Elite 11 Hands-On Preview with Control Screenshots

Its absolute
