Men how much does this guy know about basketball ? I loved the previous direction of Nba Live now its elite which isn't even a term in the basketball vernacular. A now this gentlemen who made Hockey a hit is the CREATIVE director ? This is the NEW direction ? does anyone else who loves BASKETBALL see any thing wrong with this ? In an effort to sell units will they sell their basketball soul ? Elite 11 ? come on family. That is not inline with the culture of the game!! Heres to hoping I'm wrong but I think the basketball will suffer. It'll probably be a lot of fun for the first 2 weeks though.

I felt like this would happen with this title. Desperation breeds stupidity. Like i've said for years, they need to just get this title out of Canada because these just aren''t getting it year after year. Take two steps forward just to take two steps back the next year.

This right here sums up everything in a nutshell... every dammn year EA choose to subtract through addition instead of building on what they have. Live10 was the right step, it just needs a few pieces added.. such as post game,improved AI logic,Blocks/steals and improved dynasty mode. I'm sick of the change of direction every year

Like I was talking to someone about...I just don't understand the idea of creating NEW problems. We've seen it for every sports game that has decided to implement a new way to play, control, or animate, it just creates new bugs. Now stack those ontop of the ones Live '10 already had and well... You see what I'm getting at.

This Live team is not gonna buck the trend of eliminating new problems that arise with new "engines". Hell, they couldn't do it with 3yr issues in last years game!

I don't wanna sound this negative because Live 10 was a damn good restart...but when you've been down this road year after year, you become like this and expect it to be another year of "wait till next year".

How would I complete the game if I kept hitting reset after stage 2?

I think you guys are just fearing change for hte sake of it. He basically said it's not going to be entirely ratings based. IE hitting a button and it being based on if Lebron is really good or not. This sounds great to me. Yes ratings will matter but you also have to hit the shot yourself. What is wrong with that? That isn't basketball? That is basketball. This will take away a lot of cheesing and people who just spam buttons with players like Kobe and Lebron all day. It will take skill and ratings to make a shot, layup, etc.... He was just using the halfcourt shot as an example joking around. That's not to say it will be easy to make them.

I think some people have it in their heads where there is only one way to make a basketball game when if you look at what is right in front of you you'd realize the basketball games out aren't that good. That's not to say it will be perfect the first time out, but change is good. There needs to be change.
