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

[J SUTT100]

Well, My impression of NBA Elite 11 was truely HEARTBREAKING. Im really an ANTI 2k dude and a die hard live fan. I have been playing live since 2008 came out and I have been hooked ever since. Before that I never played basketball games because I really couldn't stand 2k and still cant. But anyway, I honestly feel that Elite tried to incorporate 2k's body movements and jump shot with the total control. To me Elite tried to be something that its not. I feel that the game tried to hard to beat something else instead of beating it self, and just being itself.

I do see myself playing elite in the future but I dont see myself actually purchasing the game. Only because I dont believe in what you guys are trying to do with this years product and franchise. It just doesnt feel like a Live video game. For this year I guess Im stuck with just hooping in real life but, I only have so many years of that because people do get old. I hope that you guys fix the problems and concerns of elite in next years product and I will be patiently waiting for that to happen until next year. Good luck elite!

That's exactly why I feel the game has potential 5 users v 5 users.

This is by far the worst game ever created for next-generation, it reminds me of NBA Live '97. I find this game embarrassing and insulting!

I was so looking forward to this game, as I thought EA Live was getting better each year, but NBA Elite 11 is a horrible game. The player movement is so very rough and choppy, and the ball physics are bad as well. Like many people said already, it plays like a previous generation game, it's a huge step backwards, and EA may be done if this is what they consider a good basketball game. It plays like an old NBA Jam game, and the players seem small and the player graphics are creepy bad. Not gonna comment on the sound or the controls, as I didn't even finish the game, because I was so disappointed. Passing with the R2 is a bad idea as well. I really don't know how this game is getting released. Very very disappointed, not much more to say.

Trust me they don't listen...

I edit too Play actually influenced ol' Tomba(always give em credit for that)but the game doesn't feel like it can be edited this year which is one reason why i like even playing sports game unless they're soccer ones.

But the impression left on me from this demo is that the developers were GUIDED too strongly by the main guy producing the game and that's Litman(he knows his hockey) but the flow of the game just does not look right. meaning why can't someone just look at the game and say "that doesn't move like NBA ball at all" and then tell them what to fix?

Instead it's "the controls aren't right" "change the controls"? We've been changing controls for ages lets changes the animations the way things look after a player bumps into something etc...lets add depth of vision NOT control
