I don't see what everyone dislikes about Elite
I've lurked here for over a year and joined yesterday because the feedback I see for Elite recently has almost all been negative, and that really confuses me.
Live 10 in my opinion was the best basketball game I've ever played. I was not happy when I read that the now named Elite would change to stick controls, but I've come to accept that since we can change to buttons if we like.
I honestly don't see what everyone dislikes so much about Elite. My big problems with the game last year were lack of offline modes and lack of (consistent) control over what moves I did, and Become Legendary and the sticks have seemingly fixed that.
The graphics could use some of the light from Live 10 but they still are the best graphics in Basketball games.
Every dunk in the magic/heat video looked much improved from the previous videos and the previous game. Post game looks more like the competitions which is what people seemed to have wanted. Rebounding looks better, blocks look better. Something such as it not being realistic for Crawford to jump that high shouldn't ruin a game for you, especially when as those that have complained about it even say you can edit verticals.
This is the first try at something completely new in basketball games. Atleast EA trys something new once in awhile. For the past 2 years they've had very different games, while the competition hasn't changed their basic gameplay since atleast 2005. Give the EA team a break, atleast they do something that isn't just adding modes and "legends" or b-list celebrities.
And hey, Elite is adding three things we've wanted for awhile, ESPN presentation, a new commentary team, and Become Legendary. That and completely changing the way basketball games are played, adding all that in a year is a big accomplishment and has gone a long way to, from what very little I've seen, improve the game.
Sadly for EA, Once the competing game revealed MJ as it's cover athlete, the sales "war" was lost immediately once again to gimmicks. However if the reception online was better as I sincerely think it should be, maybe EA would atleast do better than last year sales wise. I don't want to see them lose hope completely and stop making Live/Elite titles, but if they did I certainly couldn't blame them.
What is it that everyone else seems to be seeing that I don't? We're watching the same videos, seeing the same pictures, and reading the same articles. I know the internet is either completely pessimistic or completely optomistic, did everyone just decide this is something we're opposed to?
