To make it worse on that comment, EA put a video out on that exaxt situation with Andrew Bynum trying to dribble on the game. smh...this game is clearly not for everyone and they said from way b4 the game came out that this game wasn't going to be for everyone, hack some the ppl on here, not calling names but the ones who went to that event at the beach said it themselves that this game was not going to be for everyone. An just because good bit of ppl(lol which is alot not going to lie) don't like dose not mean the game is not good. If thats the case no game in the world is could because every game have that group ppl who do not like a certain game that another person might like. 2k 11 demo is good but they didn't put enough out, but i did like the gameplay, Elite 11 need to work on certain things but i love it and once i got use to the controls, honestly i'm having alot of fun with it. I'm getting both games but for different reason for each.

This is what they are talking about with the dribbling. Bigs shouldn't even be able to handle like that on a lower level. Lower levels should be for a lesser challenge not a lesser game.

That video is crazy.

Thats exactly why this rountable discussion went down, but its not like it matters because Apex is not the outside gamer either. His hardcore nitpicking doesnt matter.

the controls is not the problem, if any really think the controls is the reason they don't like the game then they just need to take more time with the game or just don't get the game. The problem is tho, the players awarness on d-fense and how they play as a team. The problem is the way the players move on the game, how the players don't out run each other when they need to, this is big since you don't have a turbo button so rEAnimator please fix that in the patch 2. The problem is that people are feeling a huge difference when they dribble, block, steal,shooting when they play the game. ( that's to a certain extent, cause some areas you can feel difference in my opinion. other then the graphics as in the skin texture, cause they look like themselves but look like cartoons but other then that i live game, and not saying everyone should too but just saying some ppl should critique the game the right way.(like it or not)

The drastic changes through me through a loop at first because like others live 10 seemed to be on the path so i wrote the game off. I finally sat and played it and found some endearing qualities in the game until kobe jab stepped into a dunk from outside the post on 2 people but i still started to like the game a bit after getting a feel for the controls.

Heres my opinion if you have 1989 ford station wagon that runs great you still will want something that looks better. I don't like the spastic like movements of the collisions they look unnatural to me.In nhl 11 the checks are not as fluid but i find myself not really following that once the puck is moved i'm now following it. But in basketball you are watching the whole play because when there is contact the play is almost over.

I don't like how the jersey numbers glow, or how the players move, or how the vibrant colors from live 10 are gone. I know that graphics were not a focal point but how do you expect a person to go and buy a something they have to sit and look at for hours and they don't like what they see. I wouldn't recommend sacrificing game play for graphics but all i needed was a upgraded franchise and some corrections to live 10s problems and i was back for 11 not so much now.

Well they're definitely not worth a full year's development cycle if they scrap it...

It seems to me they've definitely got some great ideas at the core of the game. Look no further than people's reaction to the idea of total control and RTP. No, there's definitely an interest in that from the gaming community it's just that the technology is still in it's infancy. No they made this choice, and it wasn't necessarily a bad one at all. These innovations, particularly the RTP, needed to happen eventually. Separating the legs from the arms needed to be done. Totally with that. But the reality is, while I understand their motivation for doing it, as a consumer I'm just not going to buy this product. That doesn't mean we shouldn't help make it better. haha I mean for flocks sake let's not pretend that their ultimate goal is something other than to please us. I'm not gonna buy it this time 'round but I am gonna do what I can to help make it better next time 'round.

Like many others, i dont feel like i had any input on the game and am forced to live with what some devs believe works. With a few minor changes, Live could've challenged 2k this year and maybe even beat it in terms of sales. We all knew a change in the systems was coming, but not until the next gen. The best idea at this point is to go back to Live 10's engine and build off of it. Trust me, the new controls are not worth a whole years development cycle

I doubt that, but i do feel however that last yr was a HUGE step in the right direction.

That technology is not new FYI.

If it wasnt shoved down your throat like a hot twinkie then you wouldnt even know about it

That video pretty much proves that once you've mastered th controls, you can do unrealistic things like it was shown in the hook shot glitch thread. Regardless of what the devs says, I have a hard time believing that the hook shot glitch could be fixed. Which will make online gaming unplayable.
