I didnt say that but im sure about 95% of nba players can dunk so should each and everyone of them should have a different moveset. And if its a player that shouldnt be dunking that is tryin to then im pretty sure they wouldnt be trying a tomahak 360 anyway. It probably would be a basic 1 or 2 hand dunk

your probably right...seeing dwight howard attempt to do a 360 statue of Liberty dunk is not exactly what im looking for your right. Just complete nonsense

Who says there is any excitement in seeing that. Its that fact that if you try it you fail, lose the ball, then i get it. And there is alot of things that you can do that wont work. You just have to know what will and do that.

He can do the exact same thing on the other game. You just have the option on what type of dunk he can do in that game.

Have not seen it once and i play that game religiously

Allowing guys like Steve Nash to attempt dunks just seems ridiculous to me. If you know the outcome is just going to be some silly animation, what's the point?

How does this affect the CPU AI? If the user has the ability to perform a dunk with these guys, wouldn't the AI as well?

I couldn't put up with seeing that crap, nor do I have much faith that tendencies would limit it from happening.

thank you...its basically common sense

I highly doubt the AI is going to be attempting dunks with anybody that doesn't do it in real life. I mean it hasn't been a problem in recent years so I don't see it being one in Elite.

And its been said if the guys dunk rating isn't high enough he won't dunk anyway so this should be a non issue on the AI side of the ball.

And with that being allowed then maybe that will stop people from starting to try and dunk and layup from just inside the three point line. If you remember on live 10 you could start that animation from just inside the 3pt line but the player wouldnt takeoff until they were closer to the basket and a lot of times it was impossible to stop that. Maybe that will be different with elite and the new things.

How could it be anything but ugly..theres no pretty way to do that. lol

Wait, I don't think actually possible for Nash to attempt a dunk. People are just giving examples of what they think 'total control' is.

I didn't see no one in any of the videos dunk that wasn't supposed to.

In fact the pgs had the only layups in all those vids.

For some, the reason is that they don't want the User to have the ability to even attempt to trigger an insane looking sequence that would never be seen in real life. They don't want to even see these clownish displays in what is supposed to be a NBA simulation. The development team disagrees with this stance and will allow the User to try all sorts of things that never would occur in a real NBA game.

My concern is that I don't think that the development team will tune the game to make the results of User buffoonery as disastrous as it should be and would be in real life. Players should be getting blocked by the rim, throwing up crazy runners, air balling shots, firing hand grenades off the backboard, dribbling balls off their leg out of bounds, left and friken right.

I feel like the ratings given to the players, or the implementation of said ratings, will provide an ultra feathery cushion that will keep Users from failing absolutely. Total Control with a build in safety net in terms of ratings and unrealistic animation sequences. The two player canned animations are gone, but many other animations that defy the laws of physics will still exist.

They say the ratings will be more important than ever this year. Playmakers, 23, Tomba, and others can attest to the idea that that could be great or horrible, depending on implementation. They've had flat out poor ratings in past years, i'm curious if the worst were thrown out along with the animations they guided.

No, you can't attempt a dunk with Nash at all.

# 375 fatleg3 @ 08/31/10 09:41 PM

This is starting to be one of the most silliest arguments on here. There are far more important issues with this game. Like i said before you can attempt a dunk with someone like fisher just make it look good and realistic but if you can then have some kind of nice layup animations which will most likely be the case.

And if that's going to be his gameplan then Shaq should go 1 for 35 for the night. I love letting the user have all the control they want, they just shouldn't get ANY success when going in a non-sim realistic fashion with their gameplay. Same thing with the dunks, if a guy wants to attempt to dunk with Boozer from the line then fine let him try, and when Boozer comes up 3 feet short and goes to ground with his arms flailing like he just fell off a building turning the rock over then that's all on the user. These are the animations that need to be added to games. Guys coming up short clanging the rock on the front of the rim because they jumped to soon. Guys shooting shots with no chance of success with guys who simply can't shoot at those ranges. One thing I noticed with these vids is that if you have a player with a half sim mind on the sticks and knows the controls he can dominate because it SEEMS like the game is rewarding basketball fundamentals versus just wilding out on the sticks. And if this is the case then this game will definitely get a look from me.

So according to your statement it's perfectly cool for Shaq to attempt windmill dunks during the game while in traffic, when he will never try it or even do it during a game? I don't understand why people can't admit when something is flawed in a game. It seems like justifications must be given to flaws. A honda civic tops out at around 135-145 MPH, and a Ferrari tops out at 200-205MPH. They are both cars, but one is able to do things the other one can't. Games should be programed in this same light. If a game claims to be sim it should mimic what happens in real life. Have you ever seen Shaq doing fadeaways in real life? NO.. So in the same light I don't want to see it in a game either.

Wow ... I usually don't post but I jus gotta . This game at this point is garbage... Common EA step it up so 2k has competition and motivation to keep giving us high quality BBall. We don't want another Madden on our hands

Perfectly stated

You would only see it if you or some cheesehead online tried to do it, would you be successful at it.... probably not And with games now I can dribble in circles at half court and heave the ball up from there all game long, is that something you see watching a real game on t.v... no, so should conrtol to do that be taken away also.

and why again would someone do something they knew they were incapable of doing, where is the logic in that, so you would attempt to do a move in a game if you knew the outcome would result in you failing and maybe costing your team the win.
