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

I agree, but the game takes a hit when things like this don't play out realistically for someone who picks up the controller and has no idea how to play. Wouldn't you think it'd be nicer to have the correct type of shot depending on the situation regardless? If you want more variety, use the sticks, but at least have the proper shot of a basic animation.

I hear what you're saying but I just don't want to play NBA 11 "HELP ME CPU" Edition. I want to be accountable for my decision on the court as well as the next man be accountable for his.

Yea I agree with you on this. This is not something that will bother people that are playing but for those that may be watching it creates a wtf!! moment.

And for some people it only takes a few of those for them to just give up on the game. Case in point my cousin got to play the Elite along with me and was already giving up on the game after seeing some unrealistic stuff.

And he also didn't like the decision for all stick control either so it would be in EA's best interest to definitely clean that up. If only to keep the people interested in the game for a little longer. It'll save them a lot especially when it comes to the casual fan.

If this wasn't about sales it would be fine but these companies are trying to make money too, so they have to make sure they appeal to all types of fans.

Lol thanks I'm just trying to look at things from all angles. I for one don't mind the animations as I said in the other thread.

But I'm not just going to brush off complaints with the game just because of that. I think everyone here raises some good points and they should be acknowledged as so.

i used to feel this way. but now that ive seen the control i want it to stay as is. In real life if im two feet from the basket and i take a jumpshot thats because i wanted to or that was my choice for the situation.

so in the game to know that i have the ability to choose lay up or jump shot almost anywhere on the floor gives me the same options as real life.

why would someone choose to shoot a 3 ft jumpshot? I get the control side of it guys, I'm speaking from a realistic standpoint and what you actually see in basketball.
