More NBA Elite 11 Details

[Sovartus]

I have been reading most of the posts across the board and get the impression that people are making a lot of speculations and unfair judgements about Elite. About the screenshots.... the game simply looked much better than last year. About gameplay.... Shooting is very well done and thought out. You will find that it makes a lot of sense and resembles real life shooting. All games have bugs so you will never be able to avoid that. Patches do a lot of things for a game and the developers once the game has shipped. They are also very expensive for companies to submit. Believe me, they will only patch if they have to.

Hopefully this year will be different but it just seems like the same hype about there yearly upcoming release regarding there B-ball game. It all sounds "GREAT" with all the new features/community day and how all these new features are going to enhance our enjoyment and then we get the final product and it's buggy as all heck, freezing, we need you to re-create what happened Season/play now/exb you know what caused the freeze and then the dreaded word. PATCH!!!! This year very well may be different and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Again my apologies for posting something that I thought was accurate. Peace!!!

LOL

Heck, I agree everything sounds like it's gonna be a heck of a game if these things in fact work as advertised. I truly feel people have the right to reserve judgement at this point especially with regards to any game EA release and even more so after being Burned Badly by the College game. I'm just not ready to believe all the hype and rightfully so based on my exp over the years with EA that's all. I personally want this game to be the game of choice by gamers this year when it comes to B-ball.

*****!!!! We all know what the outcome will be. The Mavs in, Oh wait a minute, they didn't make it.

Your thoughts on the Community Day Playmaker? It all sounds pretty damn good you think? Sliders?

Is that when they invite people to check out the new game?

I don't really pay much attention to those things because in years past the game is hardly ever the way those guys report it to be when it finally releases.

Until the actual product itself delivers on the floor i'll believe nothing reported by anyone until I see it happen.......

Looks like this year they are giving us another BRAND NEW INNOVATION

It's funny you said that Playmakers. I was thinking to myself that how do I know any of these guys play the way I play? Without that info it's hard to weigh their opinions. I think they should have released videos of the gameplay, it would have said a lot more! They could've shown snipets but at least something that showed controller input and resulting gameplay without all the "top secret stuff".

With that said there are at least two of them that I do have some experience with and feel somewhat comfortable with their viewpoint. I don't feel they misrepresent anything it's just they all are careful to state that: "this is only my opinion... blah blah blah."

This sounds like Madden 10 hype. I swore off ALL EA games till they start improving games for the people. And destroying their lone competition on price, the used game market. Hoping others swear off EA.

To speak on the hype train, uhh, train of thought, I think when it came to Live 10, EA pretty much delivered the things they said they were going to do in the game. I didn't play the game thinking, "Oh, what happened to this that/this they spoke of?" It was all Ragu, to me - It was in there. They didn't over promise like the devs for Madden 10 and even Ian had to say, after Madden 10's release, that a few of the things they wanted in Madden 10 didn't make it because of bugs and/or time. I can still respect that because I know the nature of the computer beast and about time constraints and the yada. I'm a IT "corporate man". I get it.

At any rate, unless there is truly something I am forgetting that all the guys from the Live 10 dev team who spoke either to the community or through interviews and articles and the yada didn't make good on, I think people are being tough on this "new" squad. Like I said about "Live 11" NOT going in a" ridiculous direction" and dropping the ball, which MANY either thought, wanted or feared would happen, I will say, AGAIN, that this Elite 11 team will NOT jack this up. TOO MUCH IS AT STAKE especially when they thought Live 10 would fair better than it did, sales wise. I think the new physics and tech along with 1:1, IMPROVED control is going to do some serious damage on the b-ball gamer psyche. I have no doubts after Live 10.
