The signature moves are in full effect in those videos.

Wow........ thats is soooo funny. way to keep the mood light in these dark times.lol. What a way to end a long day.

Well some of the animations may be a little better because the build we played wasn't the final one.

I just finished watching them all, not impressed to say the least. There are some moments that show potential but overall..meh. Again, I know it's user vs user, it's off-screen footage, etc. That's why I'm reserving final judgment for the demo.

Even though the videos aren't doing the game justice, that's what the Devs have said all along. Community guys have urged everyone to at least try the game before writing it off, which is something everyone should be doing in the first place. How are you going to write a game off before even giving a FREE demo a try?

Because to them if it looks crazy, its gotta be play like trash too. There's no middle ground you can't have a game that looks like "crap" but plays well that inconceivable lol!

Now I see where the issue was with Wang.

More than likely, he wanted to pretty up Live 10 a bit before working on the player/player physics. However, some bigwig marketing exec was so hellbent on having a feature that the other game didn't. They worked these engineers so hard, creating a feature that is irrelevant because the rest of the game is animated like its from the last decade. They had a control that 2k couldn't have competed with in Live 10!!!! WTH were they thinking?

I think this is going end up being a terrible miscalculation on EA's part.

The whole physics engine thing is the way of the future for NBA games, but I reckon Elite won't need ANY basketball knowledge at all in order to succeed, whereas with 2K11 the more basketball knowledge you have the better you will be at it.
Elite will be smooth and polished but for what it is, which isn't a real life basketball simulation game, but is just a basketball game. 2K will eventually step up to a physics based engine but they have the necessary basketball knowledge to implement into the game in order for it to take actual basketball skill and not just gaming skill to play.
That's what I think the difference between the two games will be this year. 2K = Real Life Basketball Simulation,
Elite = Basketball GAME

I retract that last statement because, if the game plays as well as Jano and the others claim, essentially I'd be paying $45 bucks for it, since NBA Jam comes with it. I'd put Jam as a $15 value.
