OMG here we go with the " it will be better next year" talk. That was the case last year and the year before.

I'm seeing the exact same. Man I really enjoyed live 10' except for a few things in franchise and the cpu ai. I thought they were finally catching up to 2k, this new direction they are taking is not a good look, they had a great base last year and If they would've added some more custom animations, glossed over the graphics, worked on the presentation, and improved the cpu ai they could've had a real winner now.

But

They seemed to have scrapped everything they've been working on and picked up a new engine, which yea may be good in the long run but first year there gonna have to work out some kinks, because some of the movements I'm seeing just look horrid and unnatural, and really kill the immersion to the point that I can't watch more then 30 seconds of these videos without saying wtf?

Oh well at least we have a choice of basketball games unlike another major sport, not bashing Madden I love it this year but it's taken awhile. I've seen enough footage I'll try the demo and see if my complaints are warranted.

A lot of the animations are so old!! The blockshots, some of the passes and the timing in the shoots are way off. I am sure that moving your player and shooting would be cool with the new gameplay system, but they missed completely in the rest. Too bad because I was looking to try NBA Elite this year.

Kinda makes you scratch your head as to how it could have possibly taken a step backwards.

I don't get that at all....you had a good foundation in Live 10 only thing missing was legitimate animations.........

I knew that new name Elite was just fluff.....there's nothing elite about the game IMO. Man i miss the the old PS2 days of NBA Live

Sorry but no way is this worth $65. Cancel release and take a year off, or drop the price.

No...because Live 10 was a huge step in the right direction. They laid a solid foundation with the movement and controls, and the logical step would have been to build upon that with more signature animations and focus on areas that were lacking (post game, fast breaks, more contact).

When Live 10 was released it had the best movement, drive and kick game and shooting responsiveness of any basketball game to date. Though it was lacking in overall depth, it nailed many basketball fundamentals that 2k10 was missing, which made it a viable alternative.

I just don't understand the decision to completely abandon what they had going. I can see why Mike Wang disagreed with the direction they wanted to go, clearly his creative voice was lost in the process. Big mistake.

How are they releasing a game where NBA players are dribbling laterally with the ball in the same hand like a hockey defensemen on the blue line during a powerplay? It looks ridiculous.
