You will never hit that many 3s on superstar.

People underestimate gamers and it's sad.

It's revolutionary, isn't it?" EA needs to humble themselves and LISTEN to what people have to say on the Wish List threads. Not try to give us something we are not asking for. If Elite 12 doesn't happen, it's not because of the negativity this game has received here on OS. EA will have to take a long look in the mirror.

I completely agree. We spoke about this on our OS radio show the other night...Da Czar was almost angry at the fact that EA changed up the controls on everyone when nobody had an issue with the controls in Live 10. I know in order to advance the franchise, one day they will have to rebuild a control scheme but they didn't come to the community as to how they should do that. It was as if they had this idea, thought* it was going to be a revolution for a basketball sim, and just threw it at us like yeah, check out the best bball sim controls you will ever see.

It was handled terribly. I don't blame the devs - it's the big dogs at EA who need to be accountable. No studio can build a basketball title from scratch in a calender year and have the depth it needs to compete with 2K.

Pretty much spot on. The controls lends itself to 1 on 1 let me cross you over and do an alley oop off the backboard type of a game, instead of team based. Anytime you can use centers and power forwards like they are PG's and not loose the ball, something is severely wrong.

All the players on Elite feel the same mainly because you can do the same exact moves with all the players just as good. And what even makes it more sad is the fact they changed the name of their game to "Elite" and it doesn't live up to the name.

I mean that is like a mexican wearing a kiss me I'm italian t shirt. It just don't make sense. I guess next year they going to call their game platinum. Anytime you got to call yourself something to make you seem good, it is doomed from the start.

None of the greatest ever called themselves great, their peers did. If you going to talk the talk, you got to be able to back it up.

13/14 from 3 point range with Kobe on the Elite demo, in 1 quarter! The only missed shot was one that was blocked, and all of them were right in front of ray allen. I just pulled a jumper in his face. (This was on superstar difficulty btw.) How is this simulation basketball??? For the all the people that will actually buy this game, i feel sorry for them because online is just gonna be a bunch of cheesers
