Thanks to explain for me!!...
That's what i want to talk ...

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.

I admit i have some sentiment!! but EA did not do well for many years....

I feel SCARED and had no cofidence!!

That's why i said this!!

This actually makes me interested in NBA Elite(Live) 11. I've always been a fan of the 2K series over Live but this name change makes me curious as to how EA could, perhaps, innovate the basketball series. As people have said MVP and Fight Night both revived their respective sports franchise. Not to mention that both Fifa and NHL have recently received enhancements to the controls and movement of players, maybe EA has something in store for Elite.

And why is everyone over reacting over a title change; whether the game is called Live 11 or Elite 11 I'm sure the same changes to gameplay would have still ocurred. This is just a way for EA to draw attention to their game, and whether you hate it or like it it's a smart choice for EA. You have to also consider the speculation that 2k11 will feature Michael Jordan on the cover, most likely making him (and perhaps other more recent legends) playable characters in the game. If this article just said that EA is releasing Live 11 no one is going to care, but because EA is making a name change people have a reason to talk their game instead of 2Ks.

But in the end it doesnt matter to me if the basketball game I buy is titled 2k11, Live 11, or Elite 11 I just want the best basketball simulation ever.

^ Bingo!

Only time will tell what the game play is like so we all have to wait. EA seems to be on an analog craze right now with all their sports games. As long as they leave an option for face button controls then it's all good.

I don't think most are saying it isn't a very good business move to change the name. For me it just wasn't a great choice but I'm sure after 5 or 6 years it might be just as common as live has become...

While we have every right to be skeptical about this game due to the franchise's poor track record, I think we should wait until more is known about this game before we completely write it off.

It's funny how news of real-time physics in the NHL 11 forum is met with excitement and anticipation yet here it's met with negativity. This actually sounds promising, and has the potential to drastically improve one of the franchises most glaring problems, it's animations.

I'm not bothered by the use of analog controls instead of buttons, if they're responsive, but it would be much smarter if EA gave us the option.

I'll be keeping a close eye on this game, as I'm sure most of the members here will. If ever there was a franchise that needed a change, a fresh start, this is it.

That's because the NHL series has proven itself over the last 4 years.

There's been a ton of skepticism with this because a lot of good devs that had a focus on building a great basketball simulation left because of the direction this game was going. So I can see why people aren't as excited.
