This year the whole NBA Elite theme has been user actually controling every aspect of the game. Why then would they limit what it is you can do as the user?

Who said limit you? I said I dont agree with the context. At some point realism also has to be taken into account.

Not just give me control to do anything... You see the reaction to Boozer doing his best Dr J impression. You're telling me you liked that because it was controllable?

Another issue I had while I was there. Most of these dunks from that far out are just need to be scrapped. No one can do those dunks in that context. However, it's user-controlled whether or not you try those dunks, you can just as easily choose to do a layup animation - my beef is that you even have the option. Pared and I talked in detail about this.

I liked NBA Live 10 a lot. But, I'm disappointed as of right now. Hopefully, the game ends up being fun. I definitely can say my opinion right now is that it's not worth $60, even w/ NBA jam added. The demo and difficulty levels can change my mind, but it's not looking good.

Thanks Swag but the point of my question was to see if Elite is more tolerable because they don't have to rely on it. I am all for competition. In that sense we as a basketball community would be better off is Elite sold well this year. It would keep both companies with their foot on the gas.

If you guys recall after I came back from that community event I was saying how with everything in the users hands the game can look really good or really bad. That is why I say hold off until you play it of course but also see guys playing it who can really play.

To me its not a pick up and in 5 minutes you have it cold type of game. It takes 15 minutes to kind of get your bearings and even longer to start really knowing what your doing. So any video of people new to the game is going to look a little crazy.

Once you play it you will understand. Both players are totally disconnected. It feels crazy only time will tell if that is the feeling we should be looking for.

If the game can look that bad then its possible the opposite is also true.. that is can look dam good also. I just hope it doesn't take an abnormal level of stick skill to make it look better.

I also brought up how you will probably only want to play against people who are at your skill level. Because just like at the park or the gym if a guy can't play he REALLY can't play in elite....LOL

I look forward to getting in a practice mode of some sort and seeing what this baby can do.

Definitely not impressed with the "physics" I don't think the players in the video had a negative effect on that. For all the touting they have done and all the blitz on no canned animations some of those collisions or lack there of where just bad.

But there were some that were pretty darn sweet too. I just don't know if they can deliver enough sweet to balance out the sour.

And my question for Elite is will anyone still be playing this game after 30 days ? That is the real test in my mind for this series. Its been awhile since the elite forums were alive past mid november.

The difference is Boozer cant dunk from the FT line while Shaq can shoot a fadeaway. So those two are not comparable.

My problem with the Shaq fadeaway 1st it went in and second it's was way to smooth for him. It should have been way more awkward.
