The footage has to go through the appropriate channels so I can't give you a date for their release, but I'm watching him record now. I confirmed that the build is several weeks old - a lot of tuning to the overall visual look of gameplay went in in the last two weeks of the project. That's not to say all issues people are seeing are going to be addressed by any means, but this is definitely a year where you need to get the game in your hands.

cant you just release the video you guys are getting crushed by 2k right now at least tell us when the demo will be out whats so hard about putting out a gameplay video are you gonna edit the bad stuff out or something

Patience is a virtue my man. Just let them capture the gameplay and it'll get here when it gets here. I'm anxious to see the video. Hopefully it's lengthy enough (3 min or more) to analyze thoroughly

They should have an equal opportunity to say what they feel is wrong with the game. It can be a tough thing but most in here are only voicing their frustration because they really wanted to be able to get into the game this year. I don't know how long you have been gaming ( no insult here I really don't know) but some of us have been waiting a very very very long time for live to get their stuff together. Along those lines this is a LEAST their 3rd attempt at a 3 year plan. No kidding. So for some of us we have heard this all before. EA has broken more sim gamers hearts on so many occassions they are really going to have to show and prove. Guys are tired of hearing the same old lines with consistently sub par game play. They have been saying this is a revolution etc etc etc. DId that look revolutionary to you ? No it didn't so people just feel duped again. That's all it is. Now I have been saying and continue to say that until we play it or at least see 2 people who are very good at the game play it you really won't know because of how much control they give the user. Having said all that the MOd's will take care of the trolls but lets not immediately dismiss negative thoughts about the game as being some sort of 2k conspiracy all the time. Most are here because they are or were excited about the possibilities of what they were talking about. I refuse to believe they spent all that money and time and what we saw in these videos was what they had in their heads when they said " this is great, this is revolutionary" Can't be.... LOL

Czar whazup. I have no problem with people voicing their opinion. But I just think some people get on here just to bash the game. I think i might have said this in another thread or post but some people are just rude towards it. You would not want somebody telling you that something you worked on for months and months that it is horrible, terrible, etc. To say things like the dev are not trying their best and other things like that is ridiculous. They work for a major company. That company has a brand to keep up so they are going to try and put the best game out each year. Weather or not what they put out is for you is a different story. There are ways to let your voice be heard without being rude.

Know with that says I know this game is by no means done. Yes it is a work in progress. I will be the first to admit that. I also said this before but i truly think that if they can make the best looking game out their while have the best gameplay also then they would. Do you think they want players dunking from the free throw line, or players sliding across the floor. NO. I am sure they do the best they could with the game engine that they use. I dont think some people understand fully what goes on with the process of making a video game. Its not as simple as making the game look exactly how you want it to and play exactly how you want it to. Their is so much a game engine lets you do.

Even though i wish I did i by no means work for ea but to look at a game before the demo comes out nd basically say it sucks, its stupid, etc is crazy.

I thought the video made it all better because no one person can jus hop on the sticks and play a good game, the fact that u have to learn the controls and not just press a button makes it a little more realistic, really its all on u to make those highlghts and put together a combination of moves to make it realistic not relying on the computer to make em, u get the satisfaction out of creating something real, but i really feel good that u gotta practice to become an Elite player on the sticks it will be something to enjoy instead of waiting on and relying on the AI to kick in and give u what u want, its like u never have to depend on nobody, but u!!! for everything so i still think its gonna be good game and not everybody will be able to pick it up right away, how it looks nobody gonna pick it up LOL but i guess we gotta wait on the demo

EA as a basketball franchise has regressed big time with Elite 11... Why go back to arcade style when they were slowly getting their fans back with the last 2 simulation games... Carlos Boozer from the free throw line? Just explosive garbage

Thats what might be the problem. 2k is videos and news is coming out every other day. People know so little about kind of a new game compared to 2k and how good 2k looks. I really dont know to much about marketing techniques but I guess 2k did the better job marketing their game and buliding up the hype for it.

There should be so much video on elite because it is kind of a new game. With people on the verge of giving it up ea should have plenty of video out saying hey look at this game and how good it is

Definitely anticipating this 5 on 5 footage from EA.
