Hmmm so I guess EA got rid of sprint button for all of their sports games this year. So do players have like an auto sprint feature a la Madden and NCAA ? Where as players sprint automatically given the right situation ?

Yes. And I like how it works most of the time in Madden in the time I've played it. I just feel it conflicts with what I feel would be the proper timing.

BTW, some of you guys need to remember to respect the devs here. Saying heads will roll and stuff like that is not right. You are talking about people's livelihood. Just saying.

I really think EA was trying to be too cute with this series and attempted to bring it back. last year's game was actually really good, they just needed to add more too it. But now it took 3 steps back.

Is impossile to play both 2k and elite this year, you buy one or the other, or you play one after the other, because everything is so different, but to be honest, elite is pretty terrible in comparison to before, I think they change way too much, the graphics and animations aren't that great either, so right now, I really don't know what makes us want to practice and learn the controls~ and AI plays horrible, the game feel scripted, if you don't score, they won't, if you do they do, just to keep the scores close...urgh off to shower not playing this anymore~

Im just waiting to hear Fatlegs opinion...

Thats the truth.

This game doesn't feel worth 60 bucks, and a partial NBA Jam game doesn't make me want to shell out 60 bucks either.

Thank you. If it's not for you, say that and move on.

One, I don't care about the 360 version because I have a ps3.

Two, I am talking about the time spent from pushing a button to having an action carry out. Like when I am trying to switch on defense or bring up passing icons. The game is playing fast, I just can't keep up with it because of what I called input lag, or whatever it is.

Nice response.

Guess it would pertain more to the individuals that are multi-platform then. If you have a 360, I'd avoid this and wait for the demo there. If you're stuck with PS3 only, then obviously this wouldn't be something that pertains to you.

Frame-rate seems very rough here and doesn't accurately portray the game. Reminds me of The Orange Box on the PS3 (inferior to the PC and 360 versions).

I have a review on this up under the main NBA Elite forum.

The name of the game is total control this year, but we don't get to control wether we sprint or not?

so far it "feels" pretty good, definately have to get used to the controls.

but not so happy about the passing changes or maybe I don't know how to free style pass yet.


once I figure out the new passing, I think we got something here.

it definately "feels" better than it looks, but I'm sure with some practice you can make it look right maybe if you guys put out a move list, that would be helpful!

I guess it does accurately portray the game on PS3.

Where's the NBA Jam demo!?! LOL. I'm sorry I just can't get with this game, I was a fan of Live 09 and Live 10 until they ruined it with the patches. With that said this game is just garbage to me. Pure garbage imo. Bad animations, goofy controls, bad graphics(still waiting to see on 360), it's just a mess. I wish EA luck.

Well i was hoping this demo would hold me over until Nba 2k11 drops but after reading these 1st impressions i see that it wont. Still goin to download for my 360 tho, i could use a good laugh.

Well I just changed my view to broadcast (before the tip off) and change the controls back to buttons (after the game start). The game feels a little better. But I think it's time to move on anyway.
