NBA Elite 11, NBA Jam Impressions from New York

[HoosierDaddy]

Congrats on the promotion Czar, well deserved. Glad you got your hands on the game, like some of us already, are your fears a little less than a few weeks ago?

You was in NYC man...I could've recommended some good...err...nevermind.

Glad to hear some true input...especially from someone who just wants to see a good product out there. Any plans to go up to EA when they're further along in the dev. cycle like last year? The community needs you!

And I second stumbleweed's notion that you need to be a writer here on OS...long overdue.

Great write up Czar!!! That's basically more in depth that I went where you hit all points on it!

Haha in a word YES ! What I really, really respect about the EA Squad though it this. They didn't approach me like I was WAY off base. The actually understood where I was coming from considering recent history. That more than anything speaks volumes to their understanding of where they are at and where they need to go.

When a company has that to me that is the best you can ask for. Understanding why it is we may not 1000 % trust you and then working hard and transparently to rectify that.

I still have some smaller concerns here and there but Santos and Brent spent good amount of time with me candidly answering my questions. To those that may not know it they take OS feedback quite seriously. Just look at how many guys from OS were at the community day event in comparision with other sites. In fact not everyone who was invited was able to make it.

Then look at the lineup Hoosier, Sovartus, DC, Pared... Shhhh these aren't people known for their timidness, or their ability to be influenced. HAHAHA.

Most will be relieved to know that the reason they felt it was a good time to make this move was BECAUSE of the AI development of live 10. So now they plan to build on top of that and stop resetting the dang franchise every year.

In essence this was a necessary step for Elite to actually do what we have requested .... build on what you have.

Now I am just waiting like everyone else to see if they can translate this into good 5 on 5 basketball !

BIGEAST !!! Thank you fam ! Much appreciated. I am not sure man. I would love to get back up there and spend some quality time with it so hopefully we can work something out. I know they are working hard on it so the time may not be available on their side.

Earl there wasn't one that I noticed. Now that could be because it is not in there or because I wasn't gentle with the left stick. Not sure which but I don't recall seeing one.

Maybe it seems a lil dated...but I think they should bring back the hot/cold meter..bcuz believe it or not,that's really a great thing.players should need to get warmed up to shoot anywhere close to 100%...and I think that should be influenced by how many good,quality looks a player gets.

to me,this is part of the strategy in a bball game.u have to make the extra pass and manage your offensive touches,making sure you're getting good looks at the basket,and getting everyone involved,to get them warm,so to speak.this will also help against cheesers who wanna just use kobe or lebron and shoot every shot.their teammates will all be cold,not in tune with the game bcuz they're not involved.which brings me to an effort level stat.this should be in the game bcuz you should have to manage this as well(maybe they can add a toggle on/off for ppl who think this is too sim).if you don't get your other players involved,they can go cold and become ineffective,slower on defensive rotations,not getting back on d,etc.if these things get incorporated it will effectively erase cheesers from ranked matches.
So to sum it up,they should include a warm-up meter,doesn't matter if its visible or not.players need to see the ball go in,when they do,their confidence rises and they get rolling,some players are bottleable,others not so much.give a player some open looks,and he may just start to feel it.or play good defense on a player for a half or so,take him out of his game,then watch when you give him a couple good looks,and he finishes the game strong.just so many possibilities.what do you guys think??

Good feedback, Czar. I definitely hope this pans out with the 5 on 5 cuz I definitely thought about that yesterday morning.
