NBA Elite 11 Community Event Impressions (NLSC)

I'm cautiously excited. I trust the guys at the event enough to know that they didn't get paid under the table to hype up the game.

We were quite outspoken, some more than others. Everybody got more into it as we got more comfortable and we all had a discussion where we basically grilled past Live's with the word "********" being thrown out a couple times.

Nobody who went there was a "yes" man. Everytime we were shown something, we had a question or an idea. I think it's one of the reasons I heard the phrase "best community event ever" from a producer and Pared, who has been to one before.

The whole point of us being there so early was to be critical, using constructive criticism. You really think EA is going to pay thousands of dollars to fly people to their studio so they can hear them talk **** about their game?

Let's not mention those wonderful on-camera interviews....

My favorite convo was the Sundiata Gaines game winner talk and Kobe and Lebron Should not be 99...Those pigybacked off each other but That was one of the heated Debates I had, But seriously, ALOT of things were thrown out during our time there, it wasn't a love fest it was hard questions that were asked and such...
