NBA Elite 11 Video: NYC Launch Party - Durant vs. James Gameplay

[videobastard]

I like the whole idea of controlling what you want to do. But i hope that the game does not become And 1 style basketball where people are just wiggling the stick crazy to cheese there way to the basket.

Maybe if there is some sort of stamina related to a player being wild with stick too often causing the player to fatigue more to cutdown on everybody trying to be hot sauce on the court.

Im looking forward to the demo to try out the controls for myself to see how it plays out.

From Reanimator......The first thing I can say is that the skating you're seeing (I haven't een the video yet so I'm guessing here) is very likely due to missing animations. I can tell from the screenshot that durant is playing an animation to go one way while the underlying physics system is moving him in another. The hint for me is how straight his leg is and the awkward angle of the body.

They make a physics game but have no weight or momentum? That doesn't make sense.

Yo my understanding both weigt and momentum will be factors in the game. They have not yet been implemented.

Out of all consumers that buy these games I wonder what percentage of them will want to put large amounts of time into practicing in order to enjoy something that's supposed to be a form of entertainment? Also if that number is small what happens when sales reflect that? Is this game going to be for a niche market? Those are things I thought about as I read through the thread and saw some touting the fact that stick skills will be the determining factor. As far as the video...

I am still concerned that stick skills will turn this into something that's not basketball, but I guess if the consumers want that I can always take up gardening. Looking at the speed of the moves and imagining that some will call it stick skills when they figure out how to string together 3 super quick crossovers 4 spin moves and as a result be standing wide open for a 15 footer because no one could keep up with a whirlwind, I feel the AI will conclude that will actually be a good shot and one that should go in. I too, hope they penalize players w/fatigue or maybe even losing the ball like originally was in Live 10 for stuff like that. At this point I am feeling like my fears are being realized though and stick skills are gonna create "and 1 mixed tapes" and there will be no fundamentals. I am envisioning a string of cheese all over the court and then a mastered shot stick producing perfect swishes at the end!

I certainly will! I might be the only one in here or one of the few posters that was actually thrilled with what that video offered thus far. You could really see just how far the concept of "control" is going to go.

It's funny too, because I probably haven't even skimmed the surface of what the developers are going to offer us SIM guys. I just can't wait and appreciate all the feedback and answers to our questions from the Designers and developers.

Keep up the great work!

Your not alone, I'm loving the control this game is giving you, and the fact that it is all manual. I feel like I can really just play basket. The fact that when you put up a right handed shot while dribbling left makes you expose the ball for that quick second is awesome to me. Plus post moves, crossovers, shots .. etc. I'm all for it, and hey if people don't wanna take the time to learn the game, go play the other one

sorry but this game is awful looking. EA is trying to bring attention to their basketball game by changing the name and making it sound like its going to be different but its still the same bad game, different name.
