NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks

I was all for the new controls but not when it makes the game look like it's from the last generation. I don't like being sucked into animations and losing control of my players but I also don't like playing a game that looks worse than Live 10. I liked last years game and thought it was a step forward, but this looks bad.

I would imagine it probably plays better than it looks and I do like that the ball isn't on a string but overall it just looks bland and the transitions between animations are really a step back.

Wasn't feeling that at all.

+'s
- ESPN presentation is good
- Good pace of the game
- Refreshing to hear new commentary
- Good play calling
- Generally the right action is happening (just not animating so nicely)
- I can see how this camera angle could be good for gameplay
- Jennings jump shot fake to layup was a nice animation sequence
- ball deflections
- dribbling looks like it would be good to control

-'s
- players are too skinny
- same game intro as last year
- awkward passing animations
- Maggette's dunk animation
- Players jumping too high
- Jennings did a weird jump stop (jump over/ through a player kind of)
- awkward in air contact animations (Amare's post up hook shot)
- when players are fighting for post position (without the ball) their arms are just constantly going through each other
- players near the ring shooting jump shots (Gallinari) should probably be hooks/floaters/ tear drops etc
- no fouls called.... at all?
- despite new commentators, underwhelming commentary
- player awareness? (Bogut cutting to the hoop calling for the ball but looking away from the ball handler)
- lots of over the back (awkward looking) rebounds

Overall:
Similar feedback to Live 10 in that the gameplay result is generally good, but the animation feedback for it is bad. I still think this is going to be fun to play despite all the negatives, but it's very obvious for EA where they are falling short and what to work on for E11

They have a lot of work to do. It looked better than the event vids (of course), but I'm not impressed at all. The game looks outdated. It doesn't look next gen at all.

I'll still try the demo, but it doesn't look like my kind of game.

damn i guees i might have to go back to 2k with their terrible servers unless the elite demo blows me away

I guess I'll stick with the positives. The ball was kicked out a after an offensive rebound unlike in Live 10.

I know they said that they intentionally made the jumps fast but they need to change their minds cause it doesn't look good at all.

The commentary isn't that great, Breen's stuff sounds really stiff and stitched together and Mark Jackson sounds bored.

The players weren't all bunched in the paint the whole time like the videos from that event so that's good.

This game just looks generic and boring, EA just doesn't seem to "get" how to do presentation right in any of their games(at least the two football games and this, I don't play hockey games), which is a big part of why their games seem to boring.
