So keep that in mind when you watch the videos. I'm not going to promise that everyone who's complained so far will like the game speed we settle on because it may very well be faster than real life to make it feel more responsive, but everyone here on the dev team thinks it's too fast right now so it won't stay as is.

No there wasn't an option for it last year. It's just good to know that you guys thought it was too fast as well. Basketball is a fast-paced game, so as long as it's true to the game I'm good.

When you mentioned Rondo it's the first thing that popped into my head because he seemed a little out of control on some of the layup misses if I remember correctly. Anyway, this is certainly an option. I'll keep it in mind when we get to discussion what influences shot difficulty. Thanks.

Yea, I wouldn't use Rondo as the rule..more like the exception. The guy rushed a lot of them and had the fear in his mind that Bynum, Gasol, Odom, and Kobe were lurking near by.

Layups aren't missed regularly unless it's situations like that, or are heavily contested.

I can guarantee you that if you guys made layups harder, people will be complaining that they're too hard and it's unrealistic how many missed layups there are, lol. Welcome to video games, where nobody is completely happy

you mean like the total and responsive controls?

have you ever played a game with as much fluid control?

Hey reAnimator!

One thing that annoys me in live 10 was the inability of doing drop passes while going for a layup or a dunk. would drop passes be implemented this year?

ahhhh yes..control is wonderful

I understand that the goal is to avoid random errors, however how does this work with the cpu. Will the cpu be able to miss a lay-up? Is something like lay-up success a slider/rating/tendency that will determine the end result? thanks.

One thing I've noticed is that the players don't jump very high on the jump shots..I started thinking about it,and after watching the gameplay video from e3,I'm certain that that's the problem.I was thinking maybe you guys should time how long on average a player stays in the air when they pull up for a jumper.I. think its like between 3-4 seconds.in live,and even in these early build videos of elite it seems you guys have it around 1-2 seconds,so with players who have a late release on their jumper,it seems as if they're on their way down by the time the shot should be released.can you please look into this? Thx in advance for considering my input.

This vid is definitely more promising than the Lebron-Durant for some reason, and I feel this has potential, but 2k still looks better graphically, the players look too stocky again and I don't know how well Elite will work in a 5 vs 5 setting. Elite will be a good restart for the series, but I can't imagine it being on 2K's level in essentially year one.

I'm intrigued though and will give the demo a hard look. Despite 2K being better the last 5 years or so, things can change really quick with the right gameplay. We'll see.
