One glaring problem with NBA Elite...

...2K are releasing NBA 2K11.

BUt thats the thing EA should've never changed the controls to begin with why changed somethings that theres nothing wrong with. If it ain't broke don't fix it but you can always refine it make it better but do scrap it and thats where they messed up.

Keep criticism constructive.

Leave 2k out of this.

Post only impressions.

FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN A BAN. LAST WARNING

The gameplay on the surface, reminds me so much of NBA Live 2005 (The best Live of all time IMO).. Unfortunately, to be fair and objective..as much as I have had love for Live over the years..I dont know how much value for $$ the game is going to give me long term...I dont want to run ranked games all of the time..I want to play in leagues. How is all of this stuff going to mesh together with franchise mode? I like what goes on, on the court itself: Good collision detection, excellent sound and arena atmosphere, a great playcalling system, good court spacing and half court tempo, good on ball D, good help defense. What I dont see is a lot of flair, and life. The players, referees, bench, coaches, cheerleaders are just there to be there. ITs hard to put into words. It looks like basketball, plays like basketball, but it doesnt have the personality....Does that make any sense to anyone?

This basically sums how I feel about the game... Not going to buy this one straight out but it will be on Gamefly for a while...

Its a going to be a nice change of pace to the other game. The control is fun and its going to take a while before I feel completely comfortable with everything.

I get afraid to drive the basket or shoot jumpers because of all the timing lol! But that's something I'll get down with time.

The game feels balanced, when I get scored on a lot of it is due to my mistakes. The simplicity of the game is both its best asset and its worst asset.

The NBA Live 09 and Live 10 demos, you felt like wow, this is a good game and has potential in the future, but with this game it's just not good basketball. CPU A.I. does not play like their NBA counterparts, everyone has the same exact movements in the game, how the ball travels in the air isn't realistic, CPU takes bad shots, the inside game needs a ton of work, shooting without looking at the basket? It's just not fluid at all, and maybe it's me on this one, but there's a lack of fast breaks, I want to push the ball down the court when I want to and make plays...the more I play it, the more I see that this is not an authentic basketball game. I really do wish EA brings back NBA Street, especially like the way it was on PS2...Games like that they really specialize in.

Apparently Andrew Bynum can dribble up the court with it would appear the same agility as Derek Fisher? I thought that was interesting. Also had a cute little animation where Jermaine O'neal took an awkward little post shot with his back completely turned to the basket looking directly at the opposite basket. That was cool too.

Sigh.

Wow alot of negativity in this thread... on a positive note I actually enjoy the demo, it's a nice change of pace from the other game. Granted I'm only getting the other game, but I'm definitely looking forward to this game in the upcoming years (please pleaseee stick it out with this 3 year plan).

i'll be completely honest this game is very good and can be even better, u really have the control to do anything u want. when i hit a 3 i actually find myself taunting the defender who was trying to guard me lol.

BUT, the thing that i HATE the most is when ur on a fast break and it doesnt seem like my user is sprinting, even with kobe hes just jogging with the ball this is just very annoying and makes the game feel very sluggish and just weird to watch.

Also the same idea, when im on defense and the CPU is on a fast break, it seems like i cant turn around and run to the basket to cut off a pass.

These are my only issues IM on the 360 btw if there is a trick plz tell.
