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

[TheRealTodd]

Alright, so I played NBA Live 2005, and then NBA Live 06 ruined it for me, and I've been with 2K ever since. Elite was looking good, so I gave it a try... Seriously, it feels EXACTLY like Live 2005 with updated rosters. I've still got Live 2005 and had a go with it, I was right. I don't know what these guys are doing at EA, but it's seriously disappointing.

I was thinking it was gonna be a great game this year

i hope the real game is modified compared to this demo, because i cant stand it
i've been loyal to live forever, always tinkering with 2k, playing with friends, renting it when it comes out,etc.
but this year, i dunno...for real
i hate the controls, the graphics seem wierd!
i loved live10, this is completely revamped and im sure after a while it'll get there, but for the first time, im strongly considering switching over, although im not crazy about 2k either
man this sucks!!! im all flustereddd

We are of one mind.

The game reminds me so much of NBA Live 05, its crazy.

I loved that game.

This game, I'm mainly going to play this game online ranked, EASBA, and become legendary.

head to head, I have no doubt this game is going to be very, very fun.

I dont think I will be touching franchise mode all that much, and for those who want a engaging user vs cpu experience...Elite is going to present a problem.

The CPU defensive AI is really very good.

Offensively, the CPU can just flat out give you the game on a platter.

Its Jeckle and Hyde, on offense.

Several trips down the floor can look great, and then several trips will look like the CPU is playing hand grenade basketball.



For me, I pretty much have to run a set every other time down the court, because sometimes guys will not move.

I can see how those who like to sink their teeth into franchise mode, will have some issue

And when they actually move, It's completely useless, for some reason Allen or Pierce will do some ridiculous cut on the wrong side of the baseline with nothing to create separation from their defender. All it does is clog up the paint area. Kind of annoying really.

I still love Live 2005, now all we need to do is check to see if T-Mac can actually miss from 3 point land this time round. He was money back in the day

A little while ago, I posted about how much fun this demo was, and how I scored #29 in the draft on "become Legendary" mode.
Last night, I redid it and placed #20!
I'm really enjoying this demo!
I will still buy both games, one for more realism, and the other for more FUN!
I'm excited to see how much broader the Become Legendary mode is in the full game.
I really like how the other game does the "insights". They're so detailed. I wish EA did this. Helps to get you pumped!

Shooting 90% or higher every game? Entirely possible, and completely ridiculous.

BS. Shooting is one of the hardest aspects of the new control system.

You are full of it.
