My final rant on this game and it's future of series. Being critical on a game due to previews or video, it's really hard to make 100 percent accurate statements.

But I think primarily one of the issues with this game, is the fact that the camera angle sucks! And I mean sucks!

When previewing a game, you are to showcase it using the primary camera angle that everyone usually uses! And that is broadcast, I'm sure that 95% or more of the consumers play on other camera angles, than the one displayed in this video. A couple of things I'm also looking passed, is the lack of presentation. Seems they turned the replays or something off, because I didn't see one during gameplay!

Also looks to be on arcade mode or something, lack of drawn fouls or anything that seem like pro-basketball. I'm also going to have to just except the fact, that the Electronics Arts doesn't care about accurate animations, because as in the football titles, there is always something that just gives the player models awkward movements and stiff movements. And Elite 11 is no exception, jumpshots, layups, crossovers, etc. Have looked the same since Live 06 and in 5 years haven't progressed at all.

But every year, I supported them hoping for the best! If not for Marcus Stephenson, Joe Stallings, etc. Over the past years, I wouldn't have stayed around this long. Also I think Blackflash, and Stepsix intentions are great and I know the guys want a good game, but keep overlooking a few elements are highly important to basketball. And the key to all hoops sims / games is player movement and fluidity.

And this game just lacks fluid movement, everyone is so stiff and their bodies don't move like real ball players. I know if this game has been motion captured, there is no way anyone moves like that, somewhere in animation transitions, shortcuts are taken and it's ruining the overall look of the game.

Will I buy Elite 11? Most likely because I've bought every game since the beginning. But as a consumer and long-term supporter, I must say this will not get a next-year and not right now pass from me. This is getting a fix it in a later patch even if it's 2 gigs....add in elements that scream basketball. Or I'm officially done!!!

Killing off my NCAA Series for this type of advancement to the NBA is absolutely heartbreaking to me right now. I apologize for being so harsh, but everyone at OS, knows how much crap I took from 2k fans and guys that were bashing EA into the ground for the last few years, and I got kicked the teeth consistently backing you guys up and trying to waiver support.

But even now, I'm at a sigh* on where to go from here. For now I'm disappointed. Just seems like you went backwards, when Live 10 was almost perfect.
