NBA Elite 11 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[NBAfan#5423678976]

I downloaded the ps3 demo and have spent some time with the controls and i just can't get the hang of it, I seem to be shooting when I'm attempting the right stick dribble moves, eventually getting past several failed attempts of blocking durants shot I got into the celtics v lakers 5 on 5 and well plainly it lacked flavour and substance, gameplay appeared to be slowed down, which is a bit drastic without a sprint/turbo button present, and some of the shots beneath the basket didn't feel very authentic, I'm a bit disappointed that this will be the final cut before release, maybe I got caught up in the hype, or maybe I'm just not feeling the EA brand this year.

If you go into replay after an accidental shot you'll be able to see what you did with the right stick.

That may help you understand what went wrong.

Good luck.

Looking at some gameplay footage of the demo in youtube, and outside of the user being awkward with the controls, I like how the game plays...the pace is good, the spacing is good..the crowd atmospher is terrific.

Looking forward to trying it myself.

As far as how the players move...you are either going to like how EA games animate, or you are not.

I think it is just that simple, after observing this issue over the years. IVe always thought that issue was overblown, and just a matter of taste, more then anything else.

I dont have an issue with it.

Cant wait to play it for myself.

I really wish I didn't have to write that... but truth is truth. And I saw it in every vid.
I don't even want to play the demo now (It's downloading) but rEAnim asked me to give it a chance so I will.

Impression coming soon...
From what I've read, I feel like I'm about to put my dog to sleep.

What's the soundtack in the opening menu?

It's alot darker on 360, but cleaner looking overall.
I'm going to tweak my xbox settings and see if that helps.

Oh and rEAnimator no replays in the demo.

Ah, that's too bad. It really helps with learning the controls.

Sorry about that.
