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

[bloodyskies]

The jumping animation look terrible. Everyone jumps so quick poppin up and down like popcorn. Everyone looks like they weigh 50 pounds. I was looking at the 2k videos and the jumping looks smooth and beautiful. When EA ever fix the animations?

(I think) He meant on the developer's part. If we're going to give Shaq the option of shooting a fadeaway for the sake of total control, it still shouldn't be the same animation as some guard or slight big man. It should be lumbering and physics & his weight should be accounted for, leading to him needing a couple extra steps to recover. Shaq in general was far too quick in this video, and too slight.

Feel free to disagree with the choice, but the height and time it takes to get off the ground was deliberately chosen for specific reasons.

That was posted in the other thread about the jumping. I agree that it looks horrible (both lack of gather and the height everyone gets) and general realism shouldn't have to be sacrificed for control. I think its a cop out to have inhuman jumping and blame it on responsiveness. There is a medium between the extremes of pretty & ugly and i'm disappointed they settled for ugly. This is one source of unrealistic results in the game and its a shame it isn't even being treated as an issue.

thanks 23 for deleting my post it did have to do with nba elite so i dont know why you would delete it

[23]

Actually it didnt, thats why I deleted it

Lets keep this strictly on the game in which forum we are in

Any comments that causes vs arguments in here are getting deleted

Oh my lord. I just seen Tyson Chandler dunk from the free throw line with a quick skip. I'm sorry Elite but this aint gonna cut it. This is not simulation basketball.

And the replays look horrible again just like the last few NBA Lives. Its like the replays are shot from a camera angle in the nose bleed section.

dam i think everyone has complained enough. The same people are saying the same thing. I probably seen like 8 different posts each on the boozer dunk, the jumping, skating, or movement. I think we got the point after like the first 2 or 3 post. If its so bad then go to 2k forum. like i said before i always been and will be a live/elite fan so hell developers send me the game cause i will happily play the hell out of it.

And why shouldnt shaq be able to do a fadeaway. I can go on the court and try to do anything that nba player do or try any shot. You mean to tell me that in real life it is impossiable for shaq to try a fadaway. Thats like saying shaq should not be able to shoot a 3 on the game. Weather the ball goes in is a diffrent story

In other words if this was your only gaming option for nba basketball what would be your impressions of the game ? Again thanks for the vids and uploading them and the answers to questions.

wassup czar... I was talking about this yesterday. If this was my only option, I would definitely buy this. I would feel that void of no competition would be missing. But there would definitely be more incentive to play this due to the lack of competition. Part of my issue is the fact that because of the competition theres lower tolerance for the problems/issues.
