That's not good news stepix,

the demo doesn't have any game speed slider and there's a lack of sliders in general.

Basically you can't customize this game much at all if the sliders in the demo is all we get this year.

Also i thought they were going to include numbers this year?

The Human and CPU sliders are still using the poorly implemented click method. Did you guys strictly make this game more for ONLINE play or what this year because offline we basically have very limited options to customize gameplay and that is not a good thing at all IMO.

I didn't buy NBA LIVE 10 last year just played the demo and thought it was an ok game, but this year's installment does seem pretty bad.

I dunno if it's the AI or the animations but doesn't feel like basketball. All players feel generic and so rigid, like they're made of wood.

Even showed my non gamer gf the demo and she felt the player's movement were ackward while when playing the "other game" she thinks it's real basketball playing on tv (yeah, I know...)

On the positive side, I liked the arena sounds, commentary (perhaps cause it's different commentators so feels fresh to me) and some of the faces are really accurate. Bynum looks like Bynum hehe

I was literally in tears laughing so hard at what happened (I am not the guy who made this video btw) The glitch happens at around 3:00 in the video with Bynum at center court http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLPGD...layer_embedded

reanim said its patched in retail.

Gameplay wise, I haven't seen anything in my 3 games that would justify me buying it. Visually it looks like NBA Live 05 or a PSP game, and there are a lot of hitches in the player movement. I get what they're trying to do though.. it just needs a lot more time, like with Backbreaker.

i guess i will still play live 10 one more year! what did they man!

Sort of feels like a launch title for a new console. You can kind of see where they are going with things and it looks good long term, but needs a lot of tightening up. Maybe in a couple years it'll look/play better but they seem to be really far behind where competitors are in this field.

I'll be passing on this but keep an eye out in case the final version blows people away. Likely going to need a lot of work to convert me or them buying another exclusive license.

Game's fun overall, yes the animations look sub-par but the gameplay feels refreshing

been messing around in become legendary mode and i've found myself shouting "PASS THE ****ING BALL" on a few occasions

I get in the post with the defender at my back? Point Guard dribbles down the clock

what the hell?

Live 10 was a good game on the right track...

but this Elite 11 is just plain abysmal.

I am on the PS3.

The graphics are terrible compared to last year.

The shooting controls took some getting used to, but were passable. But the passing controls...ugghhh.

What a terrible showing.
