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

[clivo1050]

i'm actually really excited over what i've seen so far. It looks like EA is really giving Elite a push this year. It looks as if they've increased the production and marketing budgets to make a run at 2k. This means more features and focus on gameplay.

The new physics and control systems could differentiate this game from 2k11. I can't wait to see it in motion. If Live maintains a sim focus, this could be epic.

Imagine if the news broke and everyone just waited to see the end results. The thread would be full of post that just said: "hmmm" Maybe if I understood the harm it causes I could see the point of saying nothing until all info is out. As it stands the worst I can see happening is that I am found to be wrong, I do that at least once a day anyway so one more won't hurt.

As to the subject of the thread, I want to be excited in a positive way like most people but EA's track record brings me fear. As recently as Live 10 I was excited about a new direction then from the patches, team members leaving, and now this new direction I've become a bit jaded. I can see how much potential a control system like this has but I also can see the potential for excess complexity.

With Live 10 being touted as the new direction and then abandoned and this being the new direction I really don't know what to think.

The analog contol idea for shooting is b.s. It's just as stupid as the QB passing cone in Madden & analog punching for Fight Night.

This is horse sh*t. They better have an option to turn it on/off.

The thing is it's not about being right or wrong.

Ever seen a poll where your possible answers were 1) Like 2) Dislike 3) Need more information?

Same thing here. You need more information. People HATED the ideas MVP brought to the table. Same for FN. Just hold off until you know more.

But it's the internet, and everyone overreacts, whether it be here, during a newly released game in an impressions thread or when discussing anything else.

There's not enough to discuss. People want to freak out over any little bit of news and it's not a level headed response.

There's really nothing anyone can do but wait and see. You overreact and you look really bad later on.

But for OS, it's par for the course.

THISTHISTHISTHIS...... Its the fear of the unknown, Everybody needs to stop, relax, take a deep breath, gather info as it comes out, then make a educated comment. Right now its like Real Housewives of Operation Sports...DRAMA FILLED..... "I hate the name, The games gonna suck, Its arcadEy, The skys falling...WE..ARE..GOING..TOO...DIE...

Hmmm... (LOL)

Pared I am only trippin cause I feel like I could with out you taking it the wrong way. I will leave the subject with this though: What are we supposed to say on a discussion board when news is released if we don't discuss our impressions of the news? I have seen a few say they hated the idea, but for the most part those with negative impressions expressed it more as a thing of being worried about the direction but we'll see. I don't know if there is anything else that can be said.
