I completely agree. Other than asinine moves like the CPU passing to a defender who is out of bounds, and shooting from behind the backboard, I love NBA Live 10. It feels so much better than 2K10. NBA 2K10 has some of the best presentation of any video game I have ever played though.

Two words, David Littman. That dude has worked wonders with the NHL franchise. I was really worried about the game going "arcade." There is no one in all of of EA Sports that believes in sim more than Littman. Hopefully they can do the controls without having to totally rip the game apart. I really felt the game had real promise last year. I'm kinda excited agian. We'll see....

This year, instead of buying both, Ill rent "Elite" through GameFly and buying NBA 2K11 from the store. At least their stepping their game up with MJ on the cover. They just need to get all those glitches out and correct faces and its spectacular.

MJ on the cover won't make the game better. They gotta fix those extra clunky controls first. This isn't about the other game though.

I'm liking the new direction of Elite 11. Hopefully, we'll see some kind of trailer at E3 (I doubt we'll see any meaningful gameplay vids). Gameplay starts with the controls. If you get that right, you have a chance to get my $60.

No man, it's the real deal this time. It's going to change everything. Some people will embrace it and move forward and others will hold onto the familiar and bash it. They are really giving us what we have been asking for for a long time.

Yep, I have a feeling this year it's going to be a huge success for ea.

Sov. I have jumped on this bandwagon more than a couple of times already. This sounds good, but if they don't put a bunch of work into leagues and overall presentation it will not be a winner in my book. Hope I am wrong but last years hope was on Mike Wang and now he is gone and we think it will be better? Not sold.

Live 10 was a solid game. Mike did good things at EA along with the other guys there. I'm sure Mike will impact 2K like he did before just like the new guys on EA will make a big difference as well. This isn't about hyping up the game, it's about informing people about the changes and new direction the Elite team has taken. I don't think anyone can touch 2K's league structure and we are all spoiled on that.
