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

Oh my god... what ever happened to NBA Live / NBA Elite! I cannot believe how bad this game looks, how much it was gone to waste. I usually buy both 2K and Live, but this time it will be an easy decision...

Shooting is arguably the easiest aspect of the new control system...you push up on the shot stick, that's all. Once you get the timing down, it's entirely possible to hit every shot with Kobe, especially from mid range.

Having to constantly make sure the ball is in the proper hand while moving around the court is the hardest part IMO. Not that it's difficult, it's just extremely awkward.

How is that different from any other basketball video game ever made ? I mean, holding up on the analog stick = pressing down a button. The only difference being that you have to hold the analog stick straight and the button always is pressed straight.

I'm really liking the new controls and am trying to master them. Now the only thing that concerns me is I will spend all this time mastering the new controls and getting use to RTP, EA will start all over again if sales are bad. Obvioulsy from reading this forum a lot of you guys don't like the current game but I really hope EA sticks to the 3 year plan. I can't handle another change, lol.

Just toying around w/ it...Good news is ive pretty much mastered the controls....Bad news is ive pretty much mastered the controls, lol. Has anyone else noticed that you can infinitely dribble to the right or left w/o the ball hitting the ground? I think this a one of those cases of "too much control" people were talking about?l

I feel there are good number of people like myself who like the controls. My only gripes are no sprint button and I don't like R2 passing. I don't like the icon passing either.

You asked and answered your own question, good stuff.

R2 passing is actually feeling natural for me because I have been playing a lot of NHL 11 lately. I agree with you about the sprint button. I do miss it.
