rEAnimator, knowing this a prefinal gameplay video, what things has changed from the video to the retail version of the game?

Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Detroit Pistons

I'm not saying it's okay because its not, the game does look extremely bad in certain spots no question on about it.

But the thing I'm asking is if you can beat a guy (or the AI) and you know that you won't have to deal with an animation or exploits determining the outcome will this stuff be okay?

If you are okay with it the dev team made a good decision. If not the dev team may have been wrong in assuming players want total control.

Maybe they just want a game that looks great more then anything else. And I'm not saying it cant look great and play great at the same time. What I'm saying is maybe users don't care for total control as much as they say they do.

So basically if this style of game isn't going to be fun to you AT ALL then the risk the devs took this year was a failure for you. And if that's the case all the devs can do is hope that a certain percentage of basketball fans like the idea of total control and can have fun with it.

This way they can establish some type of fanbase and then hopefully build it up as the game gets more on par with its competition.

I think that most bball fans could care less about total control. what people want control that is responsive, deep, and realistic. It doesn't have to be "total control." It just has to be good control. Evidence of this is in how many people enjoyed live 10's control. It wasn't "total control, but people absolutely loved it. It also wouldn't hurt if the game somewhat resembled the nba.

No a lot I don't think.

stepsix said he was watching the video while it was being recorded last week so I don't expect anything drastic to change.

blackflash did post that the rocket dunks were being fixed. I know that would be an easy fix, but I don't know if he meant it had already been fixed since the 23 LA videos, or if it was being fixed this week.

So that would be one thing, but generally the kinds of bugs that are fixed this late are more showstopper crashes.

And since you're probably going to ask next, I don't believe what would go into a patch has been planned yet, although like I said I am out of the loop being on vacation so planning may have started.

After viewing this vid again, I think the sound of it is great... I didnt view it I just listened to it, and it sounds like NBA basketball. The one thing that really needs a lot of work though is the commentating. Breen, JVG, Jackosn sound okay, but the inflection and tone of how they save things is off.
I listened to them twice, one just sound, and again viewing the vid. Breen and JVG sound like they had a cold, or are speaking like they are trying to disquise their voice. At times their tone doesnt refleect the action on screen, which makes watching it visually, unappealing.

In my opinion, I'm fine with the overall sound outside of the ball/rim sound effect. Everything else is fine. Not perfect, but I don't have a problem with any of it.

[scatman]

man oh man....commentators aren't in sync like they should be especially with the talent they have and magnitude of this game. just doesn't sound authentic at all. shot percentages are too high. so many dunks as well, am I watching the sim version of nba jam?!?!?! in the words of mark "action" jackson "c'mon EA, your better than that!" one more thing, player interaction looks unrealistic. I'm sure there has to be a way to incorporate RTP while still having the players look like they are on the court with one another. To quote jay-z "get ya swag back daddy, where's ya focus at?"

REanimator as a hardcore 2k fan i want you to know that i am actaully going to buy this game yes..i am going to buy it just because of you..you are the first developer i have ever met that admitted in real time that something was wrong with there game before it ships...I worship you..

Thanks man.

I'm a firm believer that being completely open and honest with the consumer is the best long term approach, and will make for a better game and a more satisfied customer.

You didn't even have to say you'd buy the game, trying the demo with an open mind is enough for me.

But I'd be thrilled if you do buy it

Hey Reanimator, i was wondering if you could tell us what is in the demo and when it is suppose to come out? I understand if you cant answer any of this I was just wondering if I missed anything.

yall r crazy, u hav to hav the game in front of u and b hands on to understand and feel the effect of the new controls and gameplay. Stop complainin bout everything because its not even the finished product yet. They just wanted to show a little of the what the actual gameplay will look like in terms of real a.i. Thats why they used the thunder as an example becuz from the other video kd had helped out with the game and put some of his moves tht he uses in real life on the game. Wait until u play the game first b4 u start judging it. They r workin too hard on this game for yall to not giv it a chance based on a video.

Re: NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Detroit Pistons

Well.....I've seen 2 gameplay videos now (10 mins worth of gameplay) and not once did a see a jumper go in that wasn't swish ????

Very disappointing that this was again taken out of the game. The ball/rim interacton is basically back to Live 08/Live 09, it got better in Live 10..........not only is it not better in Elite 11 but has been taken out completely.

[JerseySuave4]

i could care less about total control if it looks as stiff and ugly as that. I'd rather have the game look good than have total control because i care more about what i see and not what i feel. What good is total control if the guys move around so stiff and have everything look as unrealistic as it does.

[ballerizme]

The sad fact is, is that as bad as this game looks, at the end of the day - I really want NBA Jam. :S
