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

Please!! After changing the name, this is what it turned out to be. What's saving this game is the presentation and license. I have been a Live(Elite) fan since Genesis days so I am not a fanboy of 2k or any other bball game; just a fan of a good game. Player models are not totally accurate compared to 2k11. Gameplay looks to fast like they are on Redbull, everyone has handles like Chris Paul. Sorry this is not cutting it for me.

I'll admit I'm a 2K fan, I've never purchased NBA Live, but let's be honest, I thought I was watching a PSP game.

I just can't look at this game without critiquing, the players look so skinny and have a cartoon-ish feel to them.

I'm not bashing, or trying to. I just wanted to check out the vid. and see what was up this year.

Every sports video game ever made has arcade elements.

A game is only as sim as you play it. You can pick up any sports game and act a fool, if you want to, and see nonsense.

Honestly, the most sim basketball game I have ever played was NBA Live 10.

It punished lunatics who just wanted to barrel into the lane with the Lebrons of the world, or take crazy off the dribble jumpers.

With that said, Im disappointed in the hop step...Ive said it before, but that is going to be a mess online.

Just a hunch, but I have the feeling this game will be viewed more favorably once people get their hands on the controls...I really dont see the lack of animations Vs. last year.

The difference is that you are trigging them yourself, from what I can see.

I think the key is going to be how user friendly the control layout is going to be.

The graphics do look duller then last year, no doubt. I dont see why they couldnt have kept the same graphical sharpness, to go along with the control scheme.

Live 10 was a vibrant colorful game, but I still think the things that Live does well are still present: Spacing, body contact, play calling layout, arena sound.

The game does lack the personality and color of Live 10...thats really the biggest difference I see. I absolutely loved how NBA Live 10 sounded. It felt exactly like being in a NBA arena.

Im looking forward to trying the demo.

How accesible and intuitive I find the control scheme is going to be the make or break for me.

Guys don't let your game preference decide how bad the game looks, just be realistic. I'm a die hard NBA 2K Fan and have been since the beginning, but i always checked to see what NBA Live was doing with the new games each year.

This year it really seems that they over hyped the RTP and even the marketing has been so so. I don't know it just seems like they were more confident in last years game than this years.

I dont get that impression at all.

what a difference a year makes....just last year...everyome swore up and down the contact animation was "user error" stemming from improper use of "layup solutions"..........funny stuff

Exactly!! you read my mind bro! Your post is giving me at least some hope the game will be fun to play, but as you said..we need the demo to know that!

Stiff awkward movement by the players, bland commentary and atmosphere. The players almost seem to be hopping around the court and the court looks to small to fit them all. It's hard to believe but this game looks like it took a HUGE step back from last year. NBA Elite or NBA Live it's still looks like this franchise is struggling to look and sound like a real NBA basketball game. I was not a fan of last years effort but it looks like they scrapped that and started over and it doesn't look or sound good at all.
