Bold statement, but I agree.

I had to try and figure out how to do everything while playing against someone else so I was airballing shots short, long, to the left, it was horrible haha! Passed up a few dunk opportunities because I thought RT was turbo for a while lol!

ANd this is exactly why you cant look at these vids as an end all. and make your decision. ANYONE saying "I've made my decision" based on these vids. are probably telling a fib. you made your decision before that. this was just a cherry on top of your decision to pickup 2k or to not by ELITE.

These vids look HORRIBLE because the guys playing with them #1 will make any basketball game look arcadey because thats how they play. they dont sim. SIM players are FEW, run n gun players are many. this is why it has taken this long for any hoop game to TRULY become sim hoop.

#2 these guys dont know any of the controls. they are all different darn near. that means unless you've had a good 5 hours with the game. at minimum. then they let you go head up for another 5. you wont know how to do what you Want to do. how many times did you see a situation where a guy should've spun off a guy then dunked on a defender. or atleast made a layup? but you never did. you saw guys getting stuck trying to figure out what to press.

the fact that you can travel on every jumper is REAListic. does 2k have that? or does it force you to shoot before you land?

thats not true. you can have a game that looks like hot garbage but has GREAT gameplay that old 989 basketball game was like that. if you played sim ball. it played like sim ball. that was the first game that had fact passes, rap around the back passes. and you controlled all that stuff. i think you even controlled what hand you used for layups. me and my friend rented the game to see and clown on how bad it was. and we ended up hating its look but loving its gameplay.

Was trying to be sarcastic there didn't do a good job of it obviously lol

Just wanted to give a shout out thanks to those that took the time to record, and upload the video. that is no easy task when a new game is right in front of you.

I shall take a wait and see approach. These videos have not shifted my opinion one bit. I realize a ton of factors are at play here.

It looks like there is going to be a big learning curve. Those vids show a ton of missed shots, and a ton of turnovers. I never bought Live 10 maybe I'll get that instead.

I had to laugh at this one...funny stuff

I have to agree, just not liking the way elite 11 is looking at all.

If I am the producer of elite or 2k , I would never allow videos of showing ppl who don't know how to play basketball games against the cpu especially NOT user vs user, because if you ask your little boy cousin at 8 years old to play the game, they will play the game bad meaning they will do things that things that are unrealistic, they might use shaq to bring up the ball and try to shoot jumpers, I think is because the user SUCKS thats why the gameplay becomes a complete mess, but I AM disappointed with a lot of things in the game, just the overall players' movement is off, especially the way they jump, that looks really bad...and that boozer dunks, shaq's fadeaway inside paint shot, but I won't say this game is trash just cuz of those videos, gotta try demo myself to tell...
