One question, does this game has real time physics like Elite 11 was supposed to have? From what I see from several gameplay videos with the sliding, lack of physicality on the paint, warping it doesn't seem like it.

Also, after watching videos of Rising Star, why doesn't that mode have those features Elite's Become Legendary mode was going to have? At least the mode would've been more engaging than the barebones mode that it's now.
In case some don't remember what features the mode was going to have:

I dont know about Rising Star mode, but there are no RTP's this game...

IMO, as it stands now, the physics logic is pretty awful...I dont know how much it can be tweaked per a patch, but I dont expect it to get any closer to wheres its supposed to be until Live '15

To be honest, both games suffer with sliding and warping alot i think it something that plagues or will plague alot of sports games on next gen, Fifa 14 has it, NHL 14 has it on Xbox when i played it.

I guess its down to making the animations for a set move, but they might take x amount of seconds and the user does something else, so it just warps to compensate for it

Warping will be in games for the foreseeable future....so for me it’s more about the context its in...

I have more issue with physics like guards knocking centers down, animations pushing players that are in position back, animations that can’t be interrupted.

yea agree, my PG is 6'4 and has knocked over some centers when i can finally do a dunk which i don't like. 2k has that down pretty nice, although at times it can feel your stuck to a player.

Watching/Playing Fifa you can see the contact, i dont understand how they didnt get it right in NBA where the more contact then football

i dont recall backbreaker having warping/sliding issues. although i didnt play it much. player-player and player-ball interaction was one thing that game did phenomenally well. when that game came out i kept hoping they would do basketball with that engine.
