NBA Elite 11 Videos: 3 Quick Clips

[Admiral50]

While I wouldn't be as harsh as the above post, it does get somewhat close to what I have been saying here over the last couple months.

I think we were all expecting Backbreaker type physics and procedural animations when the word physics was used by EA.

I guess it's only half true but the demo will be the big test.

If the physics are good then EA can build off that, perhaps with a new graphics engine and so forth. If they are some fake tacked on thing, then Elite will have flopped before it even got out of the starting blocks.

Hello i like the way the things go so far with Nba elite 11 but i have a question about dunking because you see not so many dunks in nba live 10 its always the same are there going to be a lot more dunks layups in the game reanimator??

Like for instance the dunkpackage alone for dwayne wade of for lebron or kobe things like that and not to get alone the other dunks because it is to repetive in the game.

Thanks

I enjoyed Live more than I did 2K last season. However, it wasn't a game without faults. I'm excited to see what improvements they've made. Good vids.

Good stuff. Looking forward to some 5 on 5 action.

They just took control away from me like last year when players automatically lost the ball in the paint. It should be possible to do a really slow and bad behind the back dribble with a big man if you move the right stick slowly, but it should also be easy to steal on the defensive end. If I were to try to move the right stick quickly like when I am in control of a perimeter player, then I would be fine with losing the ball. Here's and example with Kendrick Perkins- Don't get me wrong, though. I don't want to go up and down the court performing advanced dribble moves with big men.

Yeah and if you notice by that bad choice of video Perkins dribble behind his back did cause him to have to pick up his dribble and pass to avoid the travel. I think the problem you see in the Bynum vid is he loses it completely. But i wonder sometimes if people don't read to much into this stuff..... this is one example captured. Remember what they are telling us and have a little faith. No canned animations so perhaps this isn't the norm.

I'd settle for one full 12min quarter to be honest.

Artest kept plowing forward as if he was never touched. Silly dev doesnt realize that is not true physics and they should go back tot he lab and work on thier collision engine. Artest dunk animation should have adjusted when contacted, and Wallace should not have floated backwards when contacted in the air. There should have been an in air collision, and the player with the most momentum depending on weight on speed of movement should win. Allowing Artest to continue to amimate forward with his dunk is the same garbage that 2K basketball patched last year. Plus, why did the blocked layup look so cheap and scripted. Any ball player knows that you are taught to use the backboard in the instance. It appears he just through it up to the rim to get blocked. Not realistic at all devs.

My point exactly, Artest didn't lean into the dunk or get turned, the "physics system" treated sheed as if his weight and position didn't even matter.

In case you haven't read some of reanimators replies in the thread the offensive phsyics reactions hadn't been added to the game yet when that clip was taken. Now since Friday it has been worked on and more video showing this happening will fairly confidently released Monday.
