I like your expression. That's why Elite 11 has amazing potential cause it's harder to develop an engine which is the most important for gameplay than to make motion improve which ppl are asking for right now. Actually not only it works fantastically but also we can see ton of variety in block.

The demo is cool. I really like the new controls. Can't wait for the complete game.

Dear EA I am not buying your game this year but, don't change your plan, stick with it and see it through. The constant changes in vision need to stop. I feel that the same thing that happend with NHL can happen here. The NBA 2k series has me hooked but, last year the wow factor is fading the ELITE model is very interesting. One thing I would like is the ability to play a shorter season in NHL or NBA games from EA any chances.

wow all i could say is EA Sports tried. The game ISN'T coming out this year anymore, i guess it was that bad. NBA Live was fun but it's nothing compared to NBA 2K. NBA2K11 is AMAZING! I already pre-orded it! But anyways IF there's a demo for the next NBA Elite/Live i'll try it but i can never go back! 2K is my home sweet home.

wow really? i dont know how but ok im just saying

I konw where not supposed to compare the two games here, but I still feel this post fits here...

After initially being blown away by how bad the demo looked, animated and even played it really grew on me. It was most definitely an unfinished product and could be improved in so many aspects, but what was preached about by the Devs in terms of control and feel, IMO is ultimately true.

Now that the game has been delayed (or possibly canned for this cycle) I'm gong back to the 2K demo to brush up my controls and get ready to play it again. What Elite lacks, 2K has in spades but I've got to say, now that I'm accustomed to the controls in Elite, 2K feels so sluggish. I still love it, and ultimately I'll always buy any NBA game on the market, but I've got to say that I tottally agree with the devs on the end direction........ they just should've taken baby steps so they didn't have to skimp on so many other areas.

I have another idea that might be more complex but still nothing like real life and even then on ball steals on a PG should be rare when you are just bringing it up one on one. Its stuff like that, that cheapens the team game. If the PG has to do through the leg and around the back dribbles to protect the ball at risk of it getting stolen how are you going to run an offense without something that looks like an And1 game? That was one of the main beefs with 2k10 online was that I couldn’t play a slow paced game and run plays because in increased the risk of on ball steals.

I had to comment on what you sad about online Play in nba2k10. YOUR PLAYING ONLINE!!!!! Almost everyone online when you play them are going to try to steal the ball every chance they get. why because they want the win so of course you would have to dribble like that to avoid being ripped. I play team up online all the time and that's what a lot of people do is try to rip you
