NBA Elite Being Moved to Tiburon, EA Canada Hit by Layoffs (Not Confirmed Yet)

[23]

Let me say this, Ive watched you post here, even felt if i were ever asked that you'd be on the list of guys id recommend as being a mod.

That said, the history of your posting has nothing to do with the fact that you broke the TOS. It was infraction worthy for said reasons and I said premeditated because you knew for a fact you were about to come off with an insulting rant.

Given the severity of the TOS on this site, a warning is plenty of leeway, because anything else is a straight out ban, among other things like deleting your post.

Im not against any of your points, you can go back and check my feelings on the entire event. I think I mentioned last year with the departure of Mike that this series was in danger of ending up like the NCAA bball game... lo and behold.

Now what I just did with that warning was serve notice to everyone that all of that garbage wont be tolerated in here, so from this point if anyone is banned then there is no excuses as to why you are trying to justify the conversation when I made it clear that its off limits.

One thing you guys need to understand is that if there is an issue, its better to report it and let us handle it rather than trying to play vigilante poster. I think that is fair considering it saves you the trouble of dealing with trolls and helps us stay aware of the problem posters on the site.

No I dont agree with everything people said in here, but one thing is apparent, EAC has been a complete fail this gen when it comes to basketball.
That has nothing to do with country as much as the particular company making it.

You and I obviously don't view Live 10 in the same light, which is ok. I thought it was great, you probably didn't as you say it's been a complete fail on this generation of consoles, so that would include Live 10. You yourself didn't make the whole "country" argument but others did and I took offence to it. All water under the bridge at this point. When all is said and done, I just want to see a great alternative to the 2K series in one of the few sports where competition is still an option in the sports video game world. I thought Live 11 would be that game and I'm sure myself, EAC, Mike Wang and many, many members on here would have loved to see the direction the series WAS headed in last year given a chance to fully mature.

I liked Live 10

I made a couple of hefty mix videos plus did that massive tweak project by myself. I dont think you were around here alot when Live 10 dropped...especialy pre patch

Although I skipped out on a basketball game last year, I thought Live 10 was their best effort from EA. I claimed that If EA stuck with building off Live 10, they could of reach the level of success from their NHL series. For no good reason, there was yet another change. All of those quotes in the NBA Elite trailers, I've never heard any of those complaints towards Live.

The second David Littman was hired as lead designer, this was going to be a disaster. Littman made this more evident with his quote about the half court shooting being more skilled. EA was heading in the right direction when they had Mike Wang on board, someone that knew basketball and know how to interpret into a game. Yeah, when the previous games weren't up to par and the other game is light years ahead of course Live wasn't going to sell well but it was a start. I like to quote LeBron James "Rome wasn't built in a day" Live 10 set the foundation of what's to come and EA demolished it before the game had a chance to grow.

Now, EA is backtracking off their failed experiment and throwing this on Tiburon. They have their own problems with the Madden series and now they throw NBA Elite in the mix.

This is mostly true, I was more lurker than poster when Live 10 dropped. Played a ton of 2K10 but the more I played that game, the more the warts began to bother me. As the season went on, I played more and more Live 10. Still do now. The player control is light years ahead of even 2K11. Where I think Live 11 would have improved the most is some of those 2 person collision animations. In fact, if they were so hell bent on implementing the RPT system, this area of Live should have had the overhaul first and then brought into other aspects of gameplay in subsequent years. Not all at once.

That's another reason why Elite failed, the developers tried to do everything at once. RTP is the only reason I had a interest in Elite but was barely noticeable in the demo.

NBA Live 10 is not all that if you think about it. The dynasty mode is unplayable. And the fact they made the dna shooting ratings based off shooting percentages screwed the game too. A player could go two for two for the whole season in threes and shoot lights out in the game. And there was morphing. The ai needed tweakig too

So, does this mean yet another reboot and yet another change of direction? Ugh. If this really does happen, I'll be waiting for them to scrap everything that was planned for Elite 11 and give us the "3 year plan" talk once again. I can't even begin to understand what EA's executives are trying to accomplish.
