NBA Elite 11 News Post


ESPN's, Jon Robinson breaks down EASBA and Become Legendary modes in NBA Elite 11.

Quote:
"As you play through the mode, your character is rated every game on his offense, defense, and team play. Adds Campbell: "So while you're free to play whatever style you want, like a shoot-first point guard, the team play grade holds you accountable to your team and forces you to play good basketball. Then every time you reach a specific statistical threshold, like collect 10 assists, you gain a statistical level. So you can try to be the next Dennis Rodman and try to fill out all of your rebounding levels if you want, or you can spread out your stats and try to be more versatile. Hopefully this encourages users to create their own type of player as nothing is based purely by position. There are also points given for awards like end of season championships and winning stat categories as well as individual game performance like a triple double (this is called leaving your fingerprints on the game). For example, to reach Level 22, you're going to need around 2,000 award points. So if you want to be like Allen Iverson and win the scoring title but not win any championships, you can do that. Or you can be the role player who just hits threes but wins nine championships and still become a legend. The idea is you can combine your statistics and your awards in infinite ways in order to progress through the mode."

The mode enables you to play up to 25 seasons as you try to attain legendary status (and shoes), but it shouldn't take that long in order to become a top star (besides, who wants to be the old man of the NBA). After each season, your player will go through the offseason, and there will be trade offers as well as contract signings. "We've also added bounce backs and setbacks into the mode," adds Campbell. "If you have a bad game and maybe shoot only 33-percent from the field and commit 9 turnovers, in your next game, you get a bounce back objective that says: Shoot 45-percent and commit less than 5 turnovers. If you do that, you're given bounce back points that help grow your character. We just feel like these are true to life components of life and basketball and trying to become a legend. You can't let bad performances get you down and you can't erase them. This is your chance to grow."

Lol come on man if we wanna look at it like that 2K copied from NBA 08's the life. And honestly how else are they going to track a players progress it isn't like these are some groundbreaking new ideas.

These are things that are going to happen when you create a mode like that. You are going to grade a player based on how he played on both ends of the court.

Why does it have to be "omg they stole that!!" why can't we just be happy its in both games now?

Who gives a **** about who copied who? The only thing that matters is that both games are improving. Grow up.
 
# 24 ParisB @ 08/25/10 11:43 PM
Get the 2k talk out of here. I love how if somebody mentions something negative about it, certain guys instantly come out of their shell and start defending it, lol. This is an Elite forum.

EASBA is looking like it will be really enjoyable

Back on topic

Both modes sound interesting. Also sounds like the Demo should have alot to offer this year. Any word on when the Demo might drop?

Or NBA Shootout 2003 which also had the summer league and you could get sent down to the D-League. See, we could go on for days about which game had what first. It's not important though. What's important is that games are adding features that the customer wants.

You're right but did Shootout really have that, I've always wanted that game since back in the day.

This Be a Legend mode sounds very promising I must say...I haven't kept track of Elite as often but the Be a Legend mode and the EASBA mode both sound like very strong game features, it's caught my attention now I wonder how your CAPs will look since the last few years have lacked any good CAP models

Yeah, I'm hoping they totally revamped CAP.

EASBA sounds really cool!

Once It Was Clear What the direction of the team was: I like most assumed that other modes would be lacking. But this sound better than any modes that NBA Live Ever Had.

No More Assuming for me. My Plan Was To Purchase It First Day. But Now Its Pre-Ordered.

This sounds like some very promising news for NBA Elite!

Man I hope EASBA is as fun as it sounds. If so, that'll be worth the purchase by itself.

If it's anything like the EASHL, which I've been playing these last two years in the NHL series, prepare to lose a significant amount of everything i.e. sleep, social life, wife/gf etc.

Really looking forward to this mode because even though I play a lot of the NHL series and the EASHL, basketball is much higher on my list of favourite sports. If done right, it's gonna be fantastic.
