NBA Elite 11 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[Forever_Young83]

I couldn't handle playing this game for more than 3 minutes, which afterwards i deleted from my HDD.

Control - Terrible
Gameplay - Terrible
Graphics - Terrible
Audio - Passable
Presentation - Decent

Overall - This game isn't worth 60$ and should be reduced to $20.

I would never think to purchase this game after that demo.

I can't remember the exact situation but I think they even fouled me when I was screwing up and a turn over was coming; they essentially saved me from the turnover. Which reminds me, I cant see the intentional foul animation for some reason. Elite is a tough sell for me right now. I have fun with it, I just hope it has less rough edges. 2K11 is the reverse. everything else is so awesome, but the controls were frustrating for me, and the game wasn't as fun no matter how many times I play the demo and try to convince myself to love it and let it be the game I get. Obviously, these are games and I should buy according to whats Fun. and Elite is more fun. But that's only IF I have to get NBA. I can choose NHL and FIFA as well, both of those are excellent in every way and nearly no rough edges. (I hope this is what Elite will look like by 2012).

get used to the controls is the best thing i can tell you. when i wasnt getting any separation i was just moving the sticks and not knowing what i was doing Im not saying im totally losing the defender but i do get room to drive or pull up if i want to

with the logic thing that is what teams would do if you or up by like 5 to 10 points with less then a min left. It not free points because its not a given that you will hit your free throws. Yea i know its a lil easy on the demo but thats not the ai's fault. and it seems as if the intentional foul animation is just them reaching in. Its not the hugging type animation thats been in the series in the past

And what you are saying about 2k i feel the same way. Im still trying but its still to frustrating with the controls that its not fun. Yea everyone knows elite has its rough edges but at least its fun to me and at the same time its not an nba jam or nba street type fun. Its authentic nba rules realistic basketball type fun

Tutorial from the beginning of the game

Usually you watch a video and you can't get the true feeling of the game. WIth this video -- you can. It's choppy, ugly, robotic, out-of-sync feeling is exactly how it plays.

If I was EA, I would have taken a year off to refine the game to a point where it's playable to the general public. Shoot, develop this game and improve upon NBA Live 10. Regardless, they risk losing a huge amount of fans by putting out a game this unpolished. Remember, Live was getting trounced and it took a few years for people to come back. We came back but many still didn't. What ground EA made up probably is going to be lost.

The controls will serve us all well but there's just too much else to be frustrated about to play. Madden can get away with this type of stuff since they own the market.

this guy is funny ^^

well, i have to agree with him on every point tho.. especially the very last one.

Um Im sticking with NBA Live 10 and getting that other game. Im just not feeling elite.

So basically the guy in the video found the game to suck hard...

because he didn't even attempt to learn to play. (while at the same time knowing that Elite controls differently from past games).

That's interesting.
