7 Minute NBA Elite 11 Video (Gamespot)

We need more unpredictably to the CPUs team offense. You can sag off your man to half court and 9 times out of 10 the CPU will fail to find the open man because they're programmed to run a play no matter what.

I would love to see some actual court awareness and more opportunistic plays from the CPU.

As far as Synergy goes, I'm second guessing it after last year. The whole idea of it sounds great, I just don't think it's something that crosses over to gameplay all that well.

Who knows though, it seemed to work pretty good in NBA Live 09 from what I remember, definitely better then '10.

Dude u will never see a fight in a videogame, The Nba does not condone that act, Tech fouls for like maybe arguing a call, most likely never see that too. The Nba wants the product to be family friendly..

Hang on a second. I see what some of you are saying, but it's USER error if you leave a player open. Any player in the NBA will "look for their shot" or penetrate if they don't possess a jumpshot - if left open. I don't think any code needs changed to account for USER error and lack of rotation or help side defense.

Now, I do agree that that the "types of shots" they take should resemble their real-life counterparts. Spot-up shooters such as Kidd, etc... don't do fadeaway 3 point shots or turn around mid-range jumpers. This is what frustrates me about games and not being authentic to how the real players actually play.

Guys like Rondo would take contested jumpers pretty regularly in Live '10 though. It wasn't always the case of leaving a guy open and them taking the shot.

[HoosierDaddy]

Yes, I agree with that. If players are contested, it's a different story. I was speaking on the premise of users leaving a guy open. That's a user-controlled error and the user has to change the way he plays to account for it.

As a result we've needed to make passing "smarter" since the ball can't just pass through an opponent. Responsiveness, momentum and pass type selection are all being worked on as a result.

My biggest concern is that like Live 10 you can chuck 70 foot passes and hit your target 100% of the time and you could not hit the steal but to deflect inbound passes. Passes need to be off target where players have to reach back or over head or jump for them on long passes...

[kumamae_33]

^^^ Agreed. It is one of the exploits used by cheesers online due to the high success rate of long passes.

I hope that long passes in Elite 11 will be more difficult and will have a very low success rate when there's a defender guarding the receiver.

I think ea copied 2k's shot stick controls but this is still decent looking. This years race wll be close.
