Im pretty sure boozer can't dunk from the free throw line with two hands man..especially not literally over KG. The distance is a problem as well.

I know Boozer cant...people are complaining about the fact he took two steps and jumped over all the defenders and add to that from an unrealistic distance.

But the real problem is the ARTIFICIAL MOMENTUM created during lift off. Typically you need to get a running start for such a distance, Boozer did it in two steps.

It's not just Boozer in that scenario, put Carter, Wallace, Mason etc... they can't do it with two steps.

Both basketball games need a change of programming on the momentum/gathering/dunk logic side.

It's more than likely a glitch.

Yall are making a big deal from that Boozer dunk....... I know someone who knows someone that knows someone that knows someone that knows someone that knows someone that knows Carlos Boozer and i'll relay a message to them to tell him to do a dunk from the free throw line in a game with 2 defenders close by to show you guys that he can indeed do that.

The signature moves are in full effect in those videos.

Wait, so you cant pass with the A button???

Nope you pass with the Right Trigger, its an odd choice thats for sure. This games are controls are a complete departure from previous bball games.

Everything from the layups to the dribbling they sound easy to pick up just watching vids but its whole new thing once you try it out.

I had to try and figure out how to do everything while playing against someone else so I was airballing shots short, long, to the left, it was horrible haha!

Passed up a few dunk opportunities because I thought RT was turbo for a while lol!

This is what happens when a game has no boundaries or animations to keep the game in check.

Some times we need those two player animations that'll keep the player from going all crazy on the court.

I just wish the dev team had another month or two to work on the game, I'm pretty sure some of these annoyances could of been worked out.

@Jano Wow, that is just weird. How can pass be a trigger and not a button. I think i'll stick to freestyle passing then, which I'm guessing is right trigger and right stick. How do you Icon pass, just hold down right trigger?

They reported it happening more than once....heck of a glitch

Well some of the animations may be a little better because the build we played wasn't the final one.

I just finished watching them all, not impressed to say the least. There are some moments that show potential but overall..meh. Again, I know it's user vs user, it's off-screen footage, etc. That's why I'm reserving final judgment for the demo.

Even though the videos aren't doing the game justice, that's what the Devs have said all along. Community guys have urged everyone to at least try the game before writing it off, which is something everyone should be doing in the first place. How are you going to write a game off before even giving a FREE demo a try?

Re: NBA Elite 11 Videos and Impressions From the Boost Mobile Elite 24 Event

Because to them if it looks crazy, its gotta be play like trash too. There's no middle ground you can't have a game that looks like "crap" but plays well that inconceivable lol!

Now I see where the issue was with Wang.

More than likely, he wanted to pretty up Live 10 a bit before working on the player/player physics. However, some bigwig marketing exec was so hellbent on having a feature that the other game didn't. They worked these engineers so hard, creating a feature that is irrelevant because the rest of the game is animated like its from the last decade. They had a control that 2k couldn't have competed with in Live 10!!!! WTH were they thinking?

I think this is going end up being a terrible miscalculation on EA's part.

The whole physics engine thing is the way of the future for NBA games, but I reckon Elite won't need ANY basketball knowledge at all in order to succeed, whereas with 2K11 the more basketball knowledge you have the better you will be at it.
Elite will be smooth and polished but for what it is, which isn't a real life basketball simulation game, but is just a basketball game. 2K will eventually step up to a physics based engine but they have the necessary basketball knowledge to implement into the game in order for it to take actual basketball skill and not just gaming skill to play.
That's what I think the difference between the two games will be this year. 2K = Real Life Basketball Simulation,
Elite = Basketball GAME

I retract that last statement because, if the game plays as well as Jano and the others claim, essentially I'd be paying $45 bucks for it, since NBA Jam comes with it. I'd put Jam as a $15 value.
