NBA Elite 11 Videos and Impressions From the Boost Mobile Elite 24 Event

[TequILLa]

Wow I'm really speechless, I mean seeing this footage you really can't blame the user vs user because, I'm looking at things that are going on off the ball. The way they are running is horrible, the gameplay reminds me of NBA 2k(the first one) on the dreamcast, very robotic, the jumping animations look weird and everybody does the same animation, I'll have to play the demo to really see if player are fighting through screen, working to get open, work for position in the post. It's obvious they scraped the coding for NBA Live 10, but to me it seems they took 4 steps back this year after Live last year took 2 steps forward last year.

I understand the developers intent of it being all up to the user, I don't know maybe they should of skipped this whole year and got every thing fine tuned. This game doesn't look nowhere near complete. The overlays of ESPN were ok. But other the that not too many good things to say, the game play way to arcady, they are sliding all over the place, the players are built funny, they run really funny, it lacks the signature likenesses of players, and I've noticed in this video and even videos that EA has released, sometimes when the player makes a basket and it's all net, the net animation will start before the ball touches it,...wow, just wow. Boozer dunking from BEHIND the freethrow line and not only that, it was TWO HANDED, that was the nail in the coffin for me(the nail happened before this), I'll still try the demo, but that's where I'll stop.

Haha that kobe travel was probably me, I really had a hard time picking up the controls.

I'm one of those guys thats going to have to spend like 30 mins in the tutorials before I can even think about playing against an opponent lo!

Its sad because I usually pick up the controls of most games pretty easily.

People will come on here just to hate on elite because it's the 'cool' thing to do but one things for certain is that elite 11 will be the best basketball sim game since live 07 and you can take that to the bank.

Lol I'm not going to say that!

Maybe in terms of control of your player but even then that may be up in the air because 2K is coming with it in that department too.

It has nothing to do with hate. I enjoyed Live 10, especially the controls. Jano has said that a lot of it was user error, but that does not mask the fact that this will be hell to play online if jet pack dunks and general all-out chaos are in.

I'm so glad I don't play sports games online, lol

The only one doing dribble moves was the same kid controlling boozer and turk and a few others. The cheeser guy wasnt running plays but he did keep coming down popping 3's with Kobe. I think it was on pro btw, but never got a chance to check or change anything because the guy told me to upload for promotion, I was only thinking of getting clips for you guys so I never played passed the initial 1 half. The pick and roll felt pretty good though from what I can remember. Oh and for anyone coming here to just throw out phrases like "this sucks".. you'll be banned because its against the TOS. The running up and down court doesn't feel like you're all out of control and super fast, I have to say that again. You'll see when the demo drops.

I will respectfully say that from the footage I saw in the videos, I am truly unimpressed. However, I am hoping that this game shapes up to be at least a good game this year. It definitely will not be as good as NBA 2k11, but I do hope that after playing the demo, I can get a good feel for it and pick NBA Elite 11 up at my local gamestop.

Thank you for uploading those vids. I think the demo will help us all in the next week or so.
