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

[coolcras7]

The gameplay is too generic to be considered a NBA sim, this is a basketball sim but not a NBA sim.

I don't like the way the game feels Live 10 was perfect for me i admit the 2 man animations were over dramatic and the way the shots went in needed to be addressed as far as what hit and what didn't but this is a fail. Why are the jersey numbers shining is this something new I missed for this season? I wanna vent my frustrations but i'm not.

again you got it man

I have been a Live fan for most of my teen/adult life and I seriously feel like my favorite sports game has died. Not only by name but in present and future.

This game is horribly horrible.

The look is ridiculous comparatively, the feel would probably get better with practice but still is massively second rate, the commentary is foolish ("Rondo with a 2-pointer..." a 2-pointer? really? or commenting on the fact that the Jordan white team is "in another close game"...when did the Jordan white team play before?) I am so disappointed I want to rant and rave about it but I feel like I'd be run for the massively destructive vocabulary I would use while comparing everything to its competitor.

I have so much negative to say about this demo I will just end with "What the heck was that?!!?" I can't believe this is being sold in a couple weeks like this...there has got to be some major changes if EA stays afloat in the NBA genre.

2 words to finish my explanation of this demo experience: Dumb. (It is so bad I can't even waste another word on it.)

I can definitely see this game shining in user vs. user battles.

That's where I am at......

I am starting to get okay with the controls...but all it means is I now move around and play well, whilst the CPU is still garbage.

The CPU AI makes learning the game and getting good at it pointless unless you want to play USER v USER.

It's one of the worst USER v CPU games I've ever played...the better I get, the worse the CPU looks. Self defeating in every regard.

Feels like a lot of the excellent team control from Live 10 has been sacrificed for the sake of individual player control. I know it is technically still there but...

Maybe with time I could get used to the controls but I just don't have that kind of time.

Passing on RT? Unintuitive. First impression is not a good one. In this day where there are so many things trying to grab our attention first impressions are really important.

Sadly, I echo the thoughts of those who would have preferred to see EA build upon the foundation of Live 10.

My mum always said if you cant say something nice don't say anything at all. Sorry mum.

Um... the crowd and vibe was good.

Sorry devs, please don't take it personally. You guys are good guys, I'm sure. I work in TV, sometimes I work on great shows, sometimes terrible shows. My work effort is the same whether the show is good or bad. It is just one of those things... Chin up.

lack of turbo is really offputting too
