RB + Face button

or

RB + RS for Freestyle passing

WTF!!!!!!!!! Are u serious????? This is the game?/ I felt like I was playing bulls vs blazers on sega genesis with better graphics. U gotta be joking about this demo. If the release game looks and feel anything like this, whats the point of even putting this out on the shelves. Now Imma gamer. Been since Atari, nintendo, etc..... I've damn near own every system that was ever made, but basketball is my passion. Played basketball every since I was a shorty (29 now). Now what I can say is that I played every basketball game ever made and this Nba elite 11 isn't cutting it to be on the systems now. Why did they think that it would be wise to merge NHL producer with NBA games????? I'm not a hockey player but I can tell that that game got alot more attention than Nba elite 11 did. I'm just saying.............

LB alone is BACKDOWN. LB+ face button gives you nothing.

The control settings has DIRECT "icon" PASSING as LB+RB +Face Buttons.

Try it for yourself. I wouldn't be causing a uproar for no reason. DIRECT passing is legitimately broken.

EDIT: RB+ Face is just as unresponsive. I'm not getting the hang of icon passing at all. Freestyle passing is what im using now as a substitute.


btw. Just had a sequence where I had two straight offensive rebounds. RTP all around as people just and fight for rebounds, and contesting shots. The fact that an offensive rebound is occuring there is highly questionable, but after the fact, the RTP animations all around are ON par with the other game or better.. It's the 4-5 second instances of RTP that throw me off. Nothin' for 3 minutes, then just a great PHYSICAL sequence, reels you into the game. Potential is definitely there..........eventually.

Thank you for the correction, as I'm not in front of the console.

LB backs down? Edit - You don't have to hold it either.

I want my Bandwith back from this download the game itself looks like a step back to last gen.... graphically and movement wise its not even on par with last years game... I understand they are looking for more control but this is extremely disappointing. I appreciate the effort but I am passing on this game NBA jam or not... Its not smooth in transitioning from one animation to another...

I liked it. Pretty much what I expected. The controls are pretty damn cool, everything else just needs a little work. They have the controls in, now for next year they can focus on animations, player models, sig shots etc.

Just downloaded the demo (PS3) and WOW....I'm speechless (and not in a good kind of way).

For those who stated that Elite 11 is "2 steps back" from Live 10 are being way too kind. It's more like 10 giant leaps backward.

What a train-wreck of a game. I'm beyond disappointed. The controls are lame. The graphics are pathetic. The animations are a joke. It honestly FELT and LOOKED like a PS2 game. Disgusting.

The developers should have stuck with the foundation that was set in Live 10 and built it from that. This game looks and plays nothing like Live 10.

Not even bundling NBA Jam will make this a purchase for me. I value my hard-earned money too much to waste it on a half-assed, beta-playing game like Elite 11.

I have officially lost all hope and confidence for the Live/Elite franchise...and this coming from a loyal customer back to the Jordan/Bird and Lakers v Celtics days.

Like someone previously mentioned.....I hope they saved the code from Live 10 somewhere because this is just not acceptable for next-gen gaming.

EDIT: Also for anyone hoping that the final product is going to be different than this demo.....well forget-about-it because the developer already stated that this demo build is only 2 weeks behind the final build. In other words, not much is going to change.
