Chris' Blog: Playing the blame game with NBA Elite 11

[dwanestar]

Its funny when people keep talkin bout 2k. this is a forum for nba elite...
2k got nothing to do with ea failing. i thinks its true that they hit the panic button
when the producers talk in there vids it looks like they aint that happy bout the game
u can c it in there eyes. why change the name just change the game....u can c that they tried to make a good game thats true and the game doenst truly suck but whats the problem is that people expect a game to be better then 4 years ago. and even nba live 2000 that is still there best game hasnt had competition from there own game. they never should have change the buttons. No speed button.? they messin up things that u should never touch when its not broken. become a legend is a great idea but when u are live and change the name to elite focus on makin the basketball game work first instead of competin with 2k. just focus on basketball my guess is they feelin that 2k is takin over and they aint lookin at the quality no more just to make sure we get what 2k gamers get. Next year next chance

Someone said people want Elite to be like the competition & that's why they're complaining. I want Elite to be better than the competition!! I want A good game period!!

I buy NBA-Live and 2k every year...you know just for change of pace. Now since the 360 and ps3 came out, I've liked 2k better...... every year since then. To me Live was always fun, IDK ............It just had that swagger. But IMO Live (now Elite) has lost thier identity trying to keep up with NBA 2k. I remember Larger than life dunks, taunting, lots of fastbreak plays, big-time blocks thrown into the stands, good player faces, and the easy right stick cross-over controls on the ps2 and xbox 1 is what made EA's game Fun......and just easy to pick up and play. I've never thought of any live game save live 10, as a sim nba game. Come to think of it i never even paid for nba live 10 like i did all the others.........yeah i rented it, kept it ...and still have it ,but thats because i can't find it.....so maybe i don't have it after-all. Anyways I think I'll get elite when it drops to $40 bucks or something like that, but from the demo no way is it worth 60-plus $$$$$$$

EA will never catch up to 2K. Not when it comes to basketball. Hell, they still have not caught up in football.

Completely agree and moreso since I saw Elite 11 in action for the 1st time. EA's basketball title will never catch up. Never.

Never thought about it that way but you might be right.

I don't know bro, they were only a year or two away with Live 10. Maybe not now, but they should get it together over time. Last year Live was my game of choice, 2k was the more complete game...but Live brought me back. There is always room for growth and improvement as well as staleness and regression...in other words, there's always a chance that ANY game can be better than its predecessors. Second, everything 2k makes isn't gold, and everything EA makes isn't crap.

The only reason EA never caught up in football is because they ended up not having to try and catch up. If NFL 2k were still around I'd bet anything Madden would be twice as good as it is right now.
