So there you have it, doesn't get any better than this right?

I'm not trying to justify anything, I am explaining the motivations behind our decisions since they have come into question.

I don't understand why bringing other games into the discussion is a bad thing. I work in the video game industry and it is critical that I play and understand as many games out there as I can so I can learn from them, get inspired by them, and make the game I'm working on the best it can be.

When I played GTA IV for the first time I was impressed with their implementation of walking (which can be tricky to get right). I wanted to learn from it so I could try and do a better job next time I had to working on a walking mechanic.

When I played Uncharted 2 I was impressed with their seamless use of IK and brought much of that learning to Elite in various uses of IK in the game, many of which you probably don't even notice happening.

And of course we examine the successes and failures of the sports games in our studio. It would be foolish not to.

And I'm not sure what buzz words offend you. I don't think I tend to use buzz words. I speak on the boards like I speak in real life.

I want to have open, honest and intellectual discussions about basketball gaming on these forums. That's what I came here for.

And to answer your question, what you see in the videos is indeed NBA Elite 11.

It doesn't get any better than this? I think that's a loaded question with a lot of bias in it.

But with the footage you have available to you, you have everything you need to pass judgment on the look of the game.

I would just like people to listen to what I've been saying on the boards with respect to our focus and what our goals were and come to the demo with an open mind.

I love the game, love playing it and am extremely proud of the end result.

I cannot wait until the demo drops and we can start talking controls and gameplay mechanics.

And maybe even play against of few of you online...

Thanks for your honesty and hard-work. I'll be definitely give a good run to your game.

Cause for me in a game, seeing what i do with my stick is more important than mashing button and letting animations trigger to be looked better.

Feeling better is more important than looking better.
