And then you look at what he did say. No problems breaking ankles left and right. Shooting easy. Can't match 2K in signature style. 5-on-5 is really wiggle stick around and shoot open jumper (which, you'll remember, is super easy). A couple maybes and a dash of potential.

Some of it is just diction, but really the preview painted the game in the worst light possible based off of what OS staff & invitees have written along with devs. I expect today's blog and whatever is popping up next week to be more informative.

It is very raw, but it's getting more and more polished each day.

It's funny, the critique in this preview was exactly the feedback the producers brought back to the rest of the team a few days ago after the press event.

We've already addressed the two biggest ones (effectiveness of one on one defense and shot difficulty) and the gameplay has changed dramatically as a result. Much more of an emphasis on team play, passing and proper build up.

We've had people commenting for the last two days about how much better the game is playing as a result.

I'm excited to see how far we can take it before we ship the final product.

Good to know thanks Reanimator, how are the dunks in Elite so far?

As the preview stated, last week there were way too many dunks. It was pretty easy to break down your opponent and if you started a dunk you were going to finish it.

This week, with the changes made to the in air collision system, when you start a dunk you are more likely to get bumped off your path and forced into an adjust than you are to finish.

We still need to hook up ratings to this, but the default case now is less superman and more average player.

Dunks are great this year, but they happened too much.

Now that you have to work for them, they are much more rewarding when you do get them.

It's a matter of balancing at this point. The features are all there and are really well done. It's finding the right balance that we're working on now.

hi Reanimator, are you guys gonna make all the change in just two month or even less??

Oh Ok, Now 2 questions-

1- One thing that drove me off the wall from Live 10 was when say someone like Lebron had an open lane and KG could run over to stop him but he would just watch Lebron finish through the lane, is it different in Elite?

2-If you had to take a guess, from a 1-10 how hard is it to block layups and dunks from behind?
