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

[sportyguyfl31]

Ive spent another hour doing nothing but control work.

Guys..relax with the no turbo button..how fast you are going to move is dependent on the stick..its pressure sensitive...just like auto sprint in NCAA and Madden.

I figured out how to do triple threat moves..once i figured out once the R1 (PS3 ) Is for..

You can do your standard jab step, side step, protect ball etc...and then go into your size ups.

ALL of the moves you want are in there guys, its just all on you, to do it.

I think a large part of how much you will like this game comes down to how good you are at this...the animation variety opens up when you use the LS and RS together with your dribble drives and shot attempts.

Im shooting fallaways, floaters, hook shots..switching hands in mid-air etc.

Post game is going to be NICE once I remember that the shot stick isnt 2k's (sorry!)

ITs up all the time to shoot, you can tap RS once to get an up and under animation, and then use the same layup technique to do a hook shot left or right.

tap RS to do a shoulder shimmy...PUSH Rs to post turn left or right

Ive done a few nice up and unders into hook shots, layups, leaners, fallaways..and it felt fluid and response.

granted its against air right now .

Im off to see how my newfound knowledge of what i can do works with bodies in the way .

I'll post videos at some point.

I really wanted to like this game. That being said I was disappointed with the demo. Each player has the same dribble moves, and same trajectory on their jump shot. Defense is a lot easier to play than offense IMO. I just felt that running and moving with the ball feels choppy and not what it feels or looks like in real life. Overall, I was really not satisfied by the game.

Pretty nice presentation.
I like dribbling with the RS.
Nice menu screens.
Good soundtrack.
Cool practice mode.

but uh everything else was less then stellar. Most notably, jumpshots. It doesn't feel as if it takes skill to make it. Then there is legendary mode. It's way to easy. I had 4 points 4 boards and 4 assists in the game and got 8.0, but it definitely didn't feel as though I deserved that good of a rating. The gameplay is too open. It's street ball. Not enough fouls are called. And it generally isn't very fun.

Its took me about four games to get used to it.
But as I kept playing It started growing on me.
I love the presentation.
I like the controls.
I miss the Live 10 graphics.
But give this franchise a few games and it will be a force.

It hurts my feelings because Live 10 was my game of choice. After this, Live is dead....Elite never started living....I expect another directional change for the new year. All white numbers and all white names (if you can call it that)??? No light on the players??? This is my worst nightmare. I can't even try to like this game, looks like PS2, worst than ps2...smh The only thing I can do is shake my head and think "are you serious? This is not NBA basketball."

I remember mvp 2003 with the fielders auto diving and it seemed crazy but the crowds were great, the game play was innovative, and all 3 versions were still fun, imo. I hope elite is there too

i agree with all of you.

im sorry but this game is sooooo garbage to me. these controls are TERRIBLE! no other way around it. i have to do a upward Haduken to do a layup? get outta here!

player movement is terrible, graphics is bad, the players dont even look good. the only thing good about this game is the sound. and i had to go back to the old controls just to finish the demo. i deleted it already. and i tried the demo on both systems, 360 version does look a little better.

this is awful EA.

I havent lol'd like that in years, thanks for that.

Anyways I have to get used to the controls to give a legit impression, however I am not liking the graphics, animations or the CPU AI decisions

The atmosphere is the best part about this game as of right now.

Will there be a NBA JAM demo?
