I don't know what it is about this game but the EA developer tried the same thing as a far as taking the buttons out in place for the analog and saying "you'll get use to it", then later putting the buttons back in because it wasn't received very well. Just because they liked it and spent time learning it doesn't mean everybody will. Not very user friendly, they'll learn (EA), I'm ok with learning it but you average joe will not take the time, wow!, you would of thought they would of learned this mistake the Fight Night team had made, I guess not. Brizzo exacted quote was, in reference of taking out the buttons and just using the analog was "YOU"LL GET USE TO IT, IT JUST TAKES TIME". I really hope people love the control scheme though

i have a question. The decision behind the direction of ELITE, did you really have a choice? i mean was it hard to give up on how much progress you guys made with live 10?

Don't worry, I'm not discouraged at all.

rEAanimator, I'm not trying to be rude, at least you are here trying to give us some input.

But I do feel this game is an absolute poor effort from you guys. And that's my opinion.

For the OSers enjoying it, I envy you because I wanted to feel that way.

I've been around since Lakers x Celtics for the PC in 89.
Never been that heart broken by an EA Basketball title before (and that includes Live 07).

And for the record: I still believe Live 06 had better graphics.

Thanks for being here taking the criticism with elegance.

Maybe they learned from the NHL series considering the control scheme is pretty much the most highly praised aspect of that series.

Lakers Vs Celtics gameplay. Still getting used to the controls as you will see haha

Here's my two cents. I think that's what EA is looking for here anyways. I am impartial to either series. I played Live last year because I thought it was better, but I played 2K9 for the same reason.

I was impressed with Live's (Sorry, I'm going to be doing that verbally and visually for a while) controls. I thought they stole the idea from the 2K shot stick and really made it a lot more fluid. But I really thought the game felt like the NCAA series of games, which I never thought were fluid at all. It's almost like they stepped forward with the controls but lost the entire game. I would almost wish that they just patched Live 10 with these controls because it would win the war.

But I'm going with 2K this year. I think Elite is just not polished enough and I'm not paying $60 for a beta. When the visual, audio, and fluidity of the game are compared, I feel that 2K11 is a step above 2K10, while Elite 11 is a step down from Live 11.I could care less about NBA Jam. I have it on the Genesis with the best throwback players, anyways.

Damn .. I don't like when companies do this man .. now that reAnimator guy has to sit on the battle front and fight all these troops ... I feel your pain man. I know you wont admit it .. but damn. For a second.. I was like .. relatively speaking .. EA will get their money .. but a lot of Live's fans will be dissappointed. Man, this will probably feel like a 12 year old getting clothes for Christmas when his best friend got Sega Genesis ...
Wooow. Hang in there tho man - I hope you're on clock for these posts.
