I don't think Elite is as bad as Live 07 (actually I played it the other day). Live 07 was just broken. Elite just does not feel like basketball. I did like Live 10, but EA b-ball titles just seem so generic. This is 2010 right? They have been hyping the RTP since day one and I have yet to see something in the game that makes me even think of that. Most of the time when there's contact between two players, it's just awkward. The problem with EA is that even when they have a solid product, they never build upon that. People may say 2K is the same game, but it's a good one and I feel they build on top of that every year. 2K is not perfect by any means, but IT'S BASKETBALL.

I get the feeling that they went too far in building off 2ks weakness instead of their own strengths. Live 2010 was a more realistic game than 2k10 out of the box. With sliders it was all gravy but out of the box Live was more like the NBA even with the bad animations. They held up this strawman argument about control and canned animations which really wasn't 2ks main flaws and they were fixable flaws. CH 2k8 didn't have a problem with control or restrictive animations.

This game just strait up sucks, I never bought a ea basketball game since live 07, then i played 2k for the first time and I can never go back 2 playing ea basketball it's to arcadey, and the graphics are horible. Compared to 2k11..... Nba elite is trash and datz da truth.

it's a sad day in EA bball land. No NCAA either, this is just depressing.

I don't disagree with much here. I had this game pre-ordered along with 2K and once the demo came out promptly cancelled my order but I just wana mention a simple thing regarding the passing button that I haven't seen anyone mention yet, thought it's possible I've just missed it:
Their reasoning for mapping it to the R2/RT button is likely because the right stick sees so much use between dribbling and shooting that it would be even more awkward to try and hit X/A to pass. Think about taking a shot where the shot stick needs to stay perfectly at the top of the circle but then trying to 'slide' your finger over to X/A because you want to pass out of your shot.

The problem is (I think, but could be wrong) that a command to pass is actually activated once the trigger is 'released' not pressed. This is compounded by the greater amount of time it takes to fully compress a trigger button, versus compressing a regular button. Hopefully that's all it is and they can change it to be when you first begin to pull the R2/RT trigger.

Still aint buyin the game but figured someone should say they didn't think EA was completely insane when they moved passing off of X/A.
