NBA Elite 11 Q&A (Gamespot)

[Court_vision]

Sounds like the same old story exactly as Will said in his post...."year one of a three year plan".....yet again. That's the queastion, do we keep paying $60 for a game that's two years away (yet again) from being good? I won't be doing that (yet again).

QUOTE: So on the whole, I think the control system makes the game more entertaining, but Elite 11 still feels very much like a first attempt at a transformation that will likely take a couple of iterations to come into its own.

All you have to do is watch the videos and see how awful this game looks. It's tough to drive to the lane? I've yet to see anyone move off their guy to stop a drive in any of the videos. If you get past your guy it's an easy dunk or layup.

Also, I think it's dumb to keep saying the "three year plan." So they expect us to waste $120 on the first two years (if there even are two years) for a far less than 100% game. It's like paying $60 for a glorified demo. Thanks but no thanks

I didn't see a lot of help defense in the videos. I saw a lot of dunks. There were quite a few in the Magic vs heat video (hum vs hum). And quite a bit in the OKC vs Detroit (hum vs cpu). The pick and roll looks to be a easy way to get dunks/PIP. Also in the Magic vs heat video, the heat player was just playing one on one and able to get to the basket and dunk fairly easy. The defender was bouncing off of Wade like a rag doll once he got in the air.

From the videos, I'm questioning the physicality, player tendencies, and the RTP.

I like the read about the controls and defense being a challenge as well as fun but that rebound ish is another hang over from previous iterations, I don't think it was so prevalent in last year's, though...maybe...

I hope it isn't harder to call plays this year. With it being on the D-pad.

i hope the controls really are that responsive unlike Live 10 where a lot of times i could not control where my players go due to the suction animations. If it's still fun to play and online runs without a glitch then Elite may still be the game for me. also be able to select my own plays and use it online, Live 10 only allows you to select different plays if you're the home team. If your the away team you're stucked with the default assigned plays and no matter how you change it in the playcalling menu it won't come up, dumb glitch.

These guys have some major catching up to do...
