Sorry, didn't mean to keep avoiding this question, but I kind of was only because it's not a simple one line answer and I needed to wait until I had a bit of time to type.

The simple answer is that we're going to decide what speed your player is moving at based on the context and what direction you're pressing on the left stick. This works very well in 90% of the cases and keeps you from having to worry about it and focus on the other controls.

There are the last 10% where things get a little trickier. One was on defense, and when we met with the community guys up here they really wanted to be able to control a quick hop on defense, and that became the slide mechanic you've seen and read about. Again, thanks to the community guys for that one, it's shaping up to be an awesome feature.

So anyway, that button gives you a speed burst, but is very different from the traditional turbo button. It's a tap mechanic, so you tap it each time you want the slide. Holding it down does nothing. It also introduces a nice risk/reward element with the ankle breakers you've seen along with a bunch more things I don't want to get into now.

The other area is as you pointed out, in transition. We haven't finished the transition game yet, so things aren't finalized on that front. We have similar concerns as you do and are working to address them. I'm confident we'll come up with something as we have several options available. Just need to try them out for real and choose the best one.

Also, keep in mind that you can always slow your player down by partially deflecting the left stick, so you will have that aspect of speed control as well.

Hope that answers the question enough for you.

Thanks for answering our questions guys, really appreciate it!

Is there going to be any control or thing we can do on defense to contest shots without having to push up on the R-stick to block the shot??

Thanks!

Yes, but I don't know what it's going to be yet. This was raised by the community guys as well, and we all brainstormed a bunch of different ideas.

We're going to try out a few of them and go with the one that feels the best.

What about using Y/triangle?

rEAnimator thanks for the answers, its really appreciated.

My question is: Will still be able do pull off those baseline reverse moves? ala kobe scoop under the hoop type layup, and basically shielding yourself with the rim. And if its still in how would you pull that off ?

Np, I didn´t insisted because I know you have work to do, so thanks for your time.

The question was answered, of course it left myself a little intrigued, specially on transitions

When defending on half-court isn´t as important, the little slides, will help players be quickly in ideal position, instead of the turbo, in-fact the non existence of turbo, on D makes it more real, but in transition, on defense and offense, it is hard to see how can my player change gear, or recuperate ground when the guy with the ball is already in front of me.

And as we know the physycal aspect of the game is as important as pure skill, and transition defense/ofense, can make those wow moments, were you can dunk on someone, or block a layup attempt, like those LBJ like to do (example).

There should be a way t o change gears, even if it is just for 0,1s, damaging the fatigue, so that people would not abuse this ability, but I am confident that you will make a way, because you now what the b-ball game is all about, to make real transitions happen realistically

And of course you just answered what you could, because the game is not finished yet

Is this about the hands up only button in defense??? Can we still do a hands up only defense in Elite 11 coz I heard/read that moving the right analog stick up will make the defender contest the shooter? In Live 10 if you move and hold the right analog stick up your player will raise his 2 hands up while defending and pressing the triangle button will contest the shooter. How about the hand in the face while guarding the shooter? Did you guys add it in elite 11?

I assume we can now pick any player from any team to practice with? I hope its not limited like in Live 10 was especially with this new shooting mechanic.
