Too bad over time has became 5+ years, and we are left waiting another one.

Good for you HMP. I hope that you enjoy the game this year.

People are just mad because it is not NBA arcade anymore. You actually have to have skill to play. If anything this is GREAT for hardcore NBA guys because they can control all their players movement instead of pressing a button and having the game decide what happnens

Speak for yourself

Why ? these are totally different dev teams developing NBA 2k and NHL 2k and the same goes for EA NHL and NBA Elite.
EA Sports is the leader in the hockey games market and 2k in the basketball games market. Why exactly would that change now ? (Not that it couldn't, I just don't see your reasoning why it should).

I will say this, NBA elite's control has potential. Not sure that I like this all skill shoot thing as there will be controller masters that can perfect it and knock down 3s all day but the rest of it has potential. They just need to add more animations and overhaul the AI, which frankly is terrible even compare to NHL 11's braindead teammate AI(hey, look, our D man has the puck, let's stand around the neutral zone and not get open). I remember NHL 07 being pretty crude but it was still pretty close to 2K7's game play and the revolutionary(for the time) control scheme made me choose 07. Elite 11 isn't even really close to 2K11 IMHO.

NHL 11's overall AI is fine if you play be a gm though.

Is that realistic?

Shouldn't most players (like in the NBA for example) SPRINT around the screen and get a sharp first step???

I'm amazed that people still don't understand what they meant. I does not replace mocap and it is not Euphoria. Reread the stickies.
