NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: New Orleans Hornets @ Los Angeles Clippers

[Goffs]

much better than the other two...its hard to differentiate the players though...

[Court_vision]

That vid is much better and I'd suggest they should release all vids using the broadcast cam from now on...

The game looks very generic though........looks like there's absolutely no difference between any players. All PGs, PFs etc use the exact same moves.

I agree. Rim physics look weird. Just don't like the way the ball bounces off the rim on a missed shot.

Need to try the game to form an opinion on the gameplay. Hopefully the demo will be dropping soon.

This kills me about ppl on OS...u want things to happen but dont really care for the how...you dont throw for 300 w/ Manning b/c he's Peyton, you throw by calling the right plays, making good decisions....not b/c the game wants you too smh.... They are being rewarded by getting the ball in positions where the players can score, choosing the appropriate shot type, and hitting the correct release point (if applicable). And the other player is being 'punished' for their poor d or not being in position for the stop.

I have come to realize that you cant cheat balance and realism. Its like they say about the road to hell being paved with good intentions.

I guess its reasonable for good shots to be rewarded to the point where open shots are almost never missed and partially contested shots fall like wild flower but its not NBA basketball. Even when you consider the lack of defense every team in every gameplay vid so far has shot the ball like a team on a mean hot streak. When every team is having a hot night there is a real fallout on the rest of the gameplay. The defense is going to have to play extra tight to stop the wet shooting which makes it easier to drive or slip back door; maybe you cant help as much in the post because mediocre shooters make 75% of their open shots etc etc.

With that in mind I will concede that my beef is about style over substance. I question the mind of the developers when this is what they show us. This is their chance to show us "The NBA". It seems like they are trying to sell fun instead of selling the sport. I prefer devs that are humble enough to realize that the integrity of the sport is more important than anyone's idea of fun.

and thats why i have never been able to take Live/Elite seriously. I just never get the feeling that there basketball games are aiming to show the sport in its purest form. I think whats most important to the devs of Elite is making sure the game is fun, which isnt bad, but sometimes fun doesnt necessarily represent the sport.

I completely agree with you.

People, lets use some common sense.

Just because you time your release doesnt mean its going to go in all of the time.

There's this thing called "ratings".

Looks good. That looks more like the Live 10, that I knew and loved.
