No offense, but you sound like a 100% blind homer man, I mean, I literally cringed at your post, lol, its cool though, but lets wait until the games are released before we go saying what will put something over the top, you know darn well that all of Elites mentioned additions will still not bring them close to the other game. Yall need to be a lil more honest, I hope Elite does well and continues, but it is very possible that the sells difference can be so large it can kill the Live franchise.


I may be one of the only people who realize this, but no gamers in any genre looks forward to a videogames control for their purchase, the physics system may turn out to be nice, but them actually using control as a selling point shows me that either they simply cant compete with the competition looks/animation wise, or they are desperate for anything to make the game look good on paper (no offense to anyone). Thats like having a Bron vs Nash arguement, and the Nash supporter using FT% to compete in the arguement, its irrelevent as long as Bron is a solid FT shooter.


IDK man, the control in the competition was never horrible and Lives was nice last year (matter of fact EA bloggers consistantly used this as a comparison tool), but Lives animations have been horrible for a long time now while the competition's keeps getting better and better every year, why the hell is Lives main selling point something that was already good last year, it seems like desperation, I hope im wrong, but I think that EA will once again regret making another major change.

Remember when Synergy was suppose to be this revolutionary feature and truth be told it did absolutley nothing and was passed up by the competition easily the next year with their version, Synergy actually hurt last years game in a few ways. I want to see Live/Elite do well so I can keep buying 2 games, but the history tells me that this will be another non effective gimmick just to sell more copies, EA has become so lost as far as the basketball series goes that they have NEVER actually added something that the franchise needed, these major features/changes will not help their product on the court or on the shelves, they need to wake up.

They have a new animation system, and I don't think they're just trying to sell us controls i mean theres still month before more info is released. And they are stressing the control because it changes the game dramatically, its not like there just switching the shoot button from square to circle or something, they are actually changing the way you play the entire game.

The control is gonna be better than past games but its not just about that, it gives the game a natural feel and you actually can think basketball rather than thinking videogames. Most of the motions you use on the controller are similar to motions a player would do in real life.

And EA is smarter than that when it comes to sales, I think that's why they're bundling NBA Jam with Elite 11, not to mention Jam has online multiplayer for some replay Value

lol that is a contradictory statement u made, be real for a minute, u talking about being desperate, it cant get more desperate than to put jordan on the cover lol, because the jordan challenge and getting rid of 2 man animation is the only thing that they have to offer because their player models still doesnt look like their real life counterpart,nba elite 11 has way more stuff to offer us than the other game. i bet u that mr.w ran back to to the other company talking about all the good stuff we have this year and they can loose alot of fans unless they put jordan on the cover. because really, thats the only thing thats saving them this year cause if it werent for that alot of ppl would of switch this year just like last year. so go read all the articles EA has put out so u can grasp all the drastic changes that went on before saying stuff like that because if u think that controls and physics is the only thing they are bringing to the table then u might be blind.(no offense)

Dude, you have absolutley no idea what you are talking about, I mean not at all, even a lil bit, next time why dont you try and do some research 1st fella, the things you said in that post was so far from the truth it made me laugh, and im a Live fan. Lol at people switching last year, do you know that Lives sales has been declining for years man, if Elite does not come through it may be the end for EA basketball for good man, these are facts, read up on a few things fam.



Oh, and SMH at you saying using Jordan is a desperation move, open your eyes fella cause you are looking like a blinded homer right now, you dont even realize just how D riderish your post sounded, im laughing over here cause you were actually serious, lol (no offense bruh).

posts like this one will get you banned quickly (being a rookie)..besides, they are childish and 'no offense' doesn't help

They have already stated the sig shots that where there last year will still be in the game along with a few add-ons... If the gameplay is good people will barely even notice some of the sig play is not there. if you can still post some up with kobe fake one way and then fade back the other with smooth transition and control you will love the game

The bolded is just not true.

I'm all for control and I think skill-based shooting is a huge step in the right direction. Yes, I think the user's skill should play a big part in the player's success/failure.

But don't say that generic-based dribbling, shooting, blocking mechanics is sufficient enough for a next-gen game because it's not.

so basically physics engine = no more sucking players in to an animation..... I don't think anyone could hate that lol.
