sigh ...

Big things are coming is an NBA slogan. It's an ad, that they licensed.

I'm aware of this Sherlock, the point was it never scrolled for the entire quarter.


Edit: sorry, I see now that the way I wrote it seems to imply I meant that slogan had some hidden meaning, not the case.

It's not there cause they use the ESPN license, that's why you didn't see it in Elite either.

I love the player models compared to 2K every looks like they should be a LB in the NFL.. EA has the right idea by making players like slim to match there real life counterparts. Its a huge jump from Live 10 & Elite 11 i like what im seeing so far. Sure there can be major improvements from where they're at but i like it.

If by huge jump you mean a suicide dive off a cliff, I may be inclined to agree with you.

Jreezy covered it. There are a few instances where the ball should automatically switch because it's fundamental basketball. Of course, you can still maintain control by feathering the stick. You feather the stick, the ball handler maintains his dribble hand; You do a hard crossover (LS only) then the ball should switch to protect the dribble. Want to bring it back? RS. Some may say this goes against the concept of the one-to-one. Yeah - go back and play the Elite demo and tell me it was ridiculous seeing the ballhandler turbo to their left side with the ball in their right hand and maintain their dribble. Some will argue this presents a skill the user must know/learn; I would say it looks so ridiculous you don't let the user even see something like that because they will clown your game.

They were given a complete mapping of the sticks to make the game deeper and more involved than ever.

I am talking from the triple threat to the dribble to the post.

All of it - head nods and thumbs up. Results? Nothing.

Too funny. I just looked at some footage of NBA Live 10 and that definitely looks superior to NBA Live 13. I will say that Live 13 looks better than Elite 11 but that's the only positive I can see.
