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

[bigballa21]

If one word can sum up my impressions it would be Meh.....Overall it was okay but is there such a thing as too much control? i found myself actually getting pissed off just cause i missed a bunny by that much....I don't know maybe it adds to the intrigue knowing that you actually have the control to hit a gamewinner or miss it....That being said I'm probably going to get more pissed before i get better

After watching this video, I really don't even want to give it a shot. Animations are... strange. Graphics made me think of NBA Live 98, though they are better than 98 of course, but 2K blows Elite out of the water in these 2 areas. and the ball/net interaction doesn't look right either. Sorry EA, I really wanted to like you this year, but I'm giving it a no-go.

Bro it doesn't take long to flick the right stick for moves and learn the passing the game is just terrible. Any idiot can learn this game, but it's not worth playing.

that is exatcly what i got from what he is saying especially with the passing

keep this on impressions guys, not critiques of a video

[seemoe]

In the Boston Vs LA video I admit I wasn't to comfortable with the controls. But I played about an hour more after that video and really got used to them. I'll be putting up another video today displaying the difference between 1st play and after learning the controls more throughly. Once I get home from class lol

This game will get higher review scores than 2k because sites will give them a pass since it's back to year one excuse.(ala 2k mlb when they changed the pitching) I wanted both games to be good but I think it's 2k for me. Maybe in a year or two they will get this a little better but it's cool they tried.

Did you see my previous post? There is simply a delay on bringing up the icons.

The bumper plus face button combination works immediately. Your player passes as soon as you do it; You don't have to wait for the icons to show up.

Still, a very confusing thing to the general user. Most would think you have to wait. Very bad implementation and I would hope the final is not like this.
