NBA Live Being Renamed NBA Elite, Scan Posted (Pasta Padre)

[rfc redheat]

I'm so sick of this make us work crap. If I want to really go play basketball I will go play basketball. The main reason why I prefer Live over 2k is the control set up and not using a shot stick!!!!

Please do not take a way the dribble moves from the right stick!!!!!!!!! We dont want the comp to tell us what moves to make when dribbling.

I elaborated a lot more in the Physics thread but for the most part I am afraid this could be a repeat of what happened when they first came out w/freestyle dribbling. Either way being that no one has seen the game it's really not possible to complain about it only to respond to the info we have so far.

No i get his point but my point is that all we know of this "new direction" is real time physics and right stick shooting which aside from the physics is nothing new at all so who is to say that they aren't building on the foundation. People just need to wait and stop with the doom and gloom until we get something more concrete.

Nothing is being taken away. They are expanding.

I'm so sick of the overreaction here on the boards. Just WAIT. It's not that hard.

LOL, If we just waited then what would we talk about on the boards? (kidding) Seriously, I am hoping that by users expressing their fears and concerns the devs might read them and keep them in mind while they still have an opportunity to do so without a patch. If enough users express the desire to maintain the button shooting option maybe that's something the devs will do when they originally hadn't planned to. I don't see anyone exclaiming the sky is falling just a concern for a game that obviously they like and don't want to see it ruined. It's kinda too late to talk about it after the fact, isn't it?

so you use the right stick for both dribbling and shooting? i can see that being a huge problem..like you might go to do a dribbling move and your guy shoots instead. I also seems like they are complicating the dribbling moves (making you move the right stick in a circle to do a behind the back, etc.)...i can see this type of system being very unresponsive and hard to control...i think there will be a lot of situations where you will be moving the stick and getting the wrong dribbling move or you have to do a motion 3 or 4 times before it actually does what you want. i liked Live 10's easy dribbling stystem where you just had to flick the stick in a certain direction to do a spin move or whatever...it was quick and easy...this new system seems like it could be cumbersome and unnecessarily complicated...sounds like a cheap gimmick that doesn't actually improve the game, but instead complicates the controls when they didn't need to be made more complicated.

I like the idea of using the right stick for shot blocking and stealing...but in regards to the dribbling, it was already excellent the way it was...this seems like it could be a step forward in some areas but a step back in others..

The path EA's been on has taken them on the brink of driving off a cliff. It's time for another direction, almost any direction will do as long as they focus on quality.

I understand the fears But lets wait till E3 then lets make our concerns known. People are panicking over some photos and little info...Its like Jr. High in here with some people...
