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

[v11exit14]

When I cross I feel like I'm in quicksand, wether it's Kobe on Ray or my created player on J Wall. The player movement feels sluggish, turbo or not & crossover moves seem useless IMO.

I was actually excited to download the demo, learn the controls, and see what the game had to offer. I must say i'm extremely disappointed. The gameplay is so many steps behind Live 10 it isn't even funny, the new control scheme is jerky and the presentation can't carry the dead weight. Live 10 was the perfect game to build off of and they went in an entirely different direction. Elite is in no way a representation of sim basketball. Slight improvements to Live 10 and a solid list of features and the Live series would have been fine. Now I think the death of this franchise is inevitable and I don't even believe NBA Jam can save it.

I really tried to give this demo a chance but I just can't do it. I REALLY liked Nba live 10 (2k guy) I thought live was back in action. I was even telling some friends that I might get Elite instead of 2k, I was really looking forward to this game. Until those videos came out and everything just went downhill from there. IMO If you're a huge live fan you might want to stick to Live 10 but that's just me. This game just went backwards and it's kinda sad because they were on the right step.

I am curious about the whole, "No Canned Animations" claim that is being advertised. Maybe I was very tired last night while playing the demo, but I thought that I saw plenty of "canned" goofy shot animations that looked eerily similar to Live 07/08. They looked very "canned" to my untrained eye. Please feel free to correct me if I am mistaken.

The thing that probably stands out the most 4 me compared 2 the other game is that the AI controlled players aren't really making any effort 2 be a part of the game. I'm playing with the Lakers and ray is literally walking himself in2 the corner out of the play. There r no screens, he's not trying 2 cut 2 the basket up the baseline he's just standing there. 2k did a much better job of capturing players true tendencies.
