not if you want arcade ball...This game is a good representation of what ARCADE basketball is and should be

I see a lot of comments saying based upon these videos that this is not "sim"...I'm not saying I disagree but you guys have different definitions of "sim" based upon responses...so what does "sim" mean to you guys? Realistic stats? Realistic shoes?

too fast for me - but i'd reserve my final word on gamespeed till we get the direct capture vids next week..

that said - good vid, too dunk happy for my taste, but thats a measure of the gamers more than anything else imo.. rtp kicks in where it needs to (not very elegantly though) and the ball does seem very 'live'

good showcase of the fast breaking heat vs the half court magic.. P&Rs still look to open up gaping holes in the defence.

one thing that jumped out me though, there was a point where lebron was leading the pack on the fast break.. and howard was the closest defender chasing back.. howard seem to match lebron for speed all the way till a block animation stopped him stone cold.. six feet from the rim.. D12's straight line speed is the same as lebron's ? and i wish the block animation that he so suddenly jumped into was more contextual - a block from behind, keeping his forward motion in play..

all said though - live/elite's stock is rising. anyone know when the demo drops ?

[ehh]

Finally a transition game! Nice to see you can actually get out and run in Elite, that was a major issue in L10. Unfortunately that's about were the positives end with this clip.

Five of the seven Heat field goals were dunks. Seems like if you just mess around with the sticks long enough you'll get by your man and get to the hole at will. Even if you're Wade or LBJ you should get punished if you toy with the ball THAT much while dribbling.

Duhwight was essentially a non-factor in terms of protecting the rim. So far the only thing resembling defense in the paint is if you get a mid-air collision (and somehow a foul is not called).

It will be interesting to see how slider tweaking and difficulty level will affect this sort of thing.

What is unclear from the video is if Howard jumping straight up was a poor animation or if the user did not continue to press toward the rim when he jumped...if it is the latter I would still think there should be some momentum toward the rim based upon how fast Howard was running...

Simulation is the imitation of something real.

And this does not look like that.
