NBA Elite 11 OS Exclusive Video: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Detroit Pistons

They should rename it Rec league 11 nobody on the court did anything resembling NBA players. I see high school crossovers, jumpers, defense and why are they traveling so much the game could be okay if everybody didnt dribble the same and have the same moves.

If it doesn't look good why would anyone want to play it. It it doesn't look real what is the point?? Bro i know your just trying to be optimistic, but you gotta draw the line somewhere. Your basically telling the the dev it's ok that the game looks as bad as it does, but we have "Control"

OMG* after that i need to play it to really so i judge it.It plays somewhat terrible and they said the demo comes out in September when it should come out To-now.

I thought they were doing away with 2 player animations and implementing physics, it seems like the opposite is true in this video

WOW - I just can't believe how far this game is compared to NBA 2K11. I was seriously planning on getting this game - for a change of pace, Live 10 had some good aspects to it last year. This year, I appreciate what EA was TRYING TO DO, though they don't have a ready to go product this year IMO. I can't get over how weird blocked shots look, the ball falls to the floor like a rock or something, the gameplay reminds me of NCAA Basketball 10 from last year. NBA Elite looks like a game in alpha stage development, everything looks rough, unpolished. What's up with the hop steps, the PG dribbling the ball 3-4 times behind his back as he brings the ball up the court, the net swishing on every shot. I liked Charlie V took the sweet jumper from the outside, looked really nice. This game is loose in it's play, everyone blends in on the floor and the overpowering dunks are a distraction. I really wanted Elite to step up this year - NBA 2K11 is so far ahead right now, it may be time for EA to concede and move on to something else, for whatever reason, they can't make a good basketball game. EA college football was fantastic this season, unfortunately the same can't be said for their efforts in developing a basketball game. Now I see why they are giving JAM for free with this game.

This looked so horrid to me (stiff, forced, unnatural, just...off) I actually just took it off my GAMEFLY Q. I was really amped when they started talking about the new mechanics and having total control over your shots and nailing that game winning buzzer beater, knowing that YOU did it. But their engine and their animations or whatever it is just don't look right. The graphics look way too cartoon-ish, and some other things. I don't know, it just doesn't look right at all. I would love for Live/Elite to become, well, Elite. Because 2 great basketball games is better than 1 and I have nothing to gain by disparaging Elite. I would really like for it to be a great game and have all the pieces fit as I really enjoy playing multiple sport titles of the same sport. If they're equally good/great, it increases said sports season for me as I can bounce back and forth between the two games without getting bored of either of them. But Elite just doesn't look like real basketball at all.

Wow...you guys are harsh...I guess I'm in the minority when I say I can't wait for the demo to see how the controls are...I think this game could be really fun...

Of course you can argue that the animations aren't great and they are sliding around but I guess it matters what you want out of a game...the other game might win out on many of the topics here but all I can say is I got bored as hell after a couple of weeks with the other game last year...

Arguments like "there were too many dunks" and "too many shots were made" are not great points because there is such a thing as sliders...I make too many shots and dunks in the other game too until I changed the sliders...

After watching the 2nd video, I'm convinced that there aren't many basketball minds working on this game. The game looks horrible and the animations are last gen. This is unfortunate. The dribbling is poor (User crossing over ever 2 secs with no rhyme of reasoning), the rebounding is poor, the post game looks horrible, the jumpshots looks terrible and the defense is not good. This game is DRY!!!!!

The post shot logic and animations are bad. It didn't look like next gen basketball at all.

And lastly, it seems that if you master the shot release, the ball will go in everytime. Which is not good and why in both of the EA released videos there were not a lot of missed shots. This game is a travesty of **** proportions.
