another thing become legondary is pretty cool. Im at the point spot and John Wall is going to work man lol I gotta get these controls down. This mode will probably eat up a good chunk of time for me.

Read the very first post of this thread.

I won't go into specifics, especially negative, about this game. I'm just not impressed. With all the hype this game had I'm really disenchanted by this effort. To build a strong house you need a strong foundation. I see where they are attempting to go with this game but the foundation is weak. I can not honestly say "This game is fun I can't wait until they add *blank*". I played it for about 15 minutes and found error after error. Live10 was promising but this is an incredible step in the wrong direction. Even if they're hoping to expand on this, they owe consumers something that will leave them wanting more in a positive light not wanting to crucify the entire EA franchise for a lack of effort.

My 2 cents

This game is just too complicated for me. It would be very hard for casual gamers to play this game.

# 310 bonannogiovanni @ 09/21/10 08:29 AM

Is it possible to make a halfspin move? It was in 09 but not in 10, wonder if it's been brought back with the new hands-on controls.

# 311 fatleg3 @ 09/21/10 08:33 AM

i have been playing a while now and although its not nearly as much animations as the other game i like whats going on. I feels so much better then live 10 with the controls, and not getting stuck in animations

Still trying to get use to controls but at least i have a practice mode to do it in. i cant get to the basket!!!!!

This game is definitely not as bad as some is making it seem to me. once you get used to whats going on and get a feel for the game it flows pretty good

Am i the only one that noticed that while playing the players dont look all that great but in cut scences and in between plays the players look like what we seen in the screenshots and also why does the jersey numbers and names stick out so much

even though i like it is still a lot of things that need to be worked on like player models, animations, etc. and its also not as smooth as the other game.

without going into detail to stop from comparing the two games i really might just have to break down and get both games because they both offer something different

Only if they could get the whole game to look like it does during cut scenes, free throws, etc

Just checked again, it's only for north America I guess

# 313 fatleg3 @ 09/21/10 08:36 AM

with it being no speed burst how in the world do i make my player speed up.

I will get rondo the ball at the top of the key and try and take fisher off the dribble or call a pick and when i try and go around it or move rondo jogs

I was also running down court with rondo and gasol was running side by side with me

Go back and try Live after you've played the Elite demo long enough to get a good feel for it. That should give you an idea of what we changed. You'll have to take my word as a developer for the difficulty in making the changes to Live.

I did and I want NBA Live 10 back -- badly. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many of us thought 10 was a really really good game that needed a few things ironed out. Instead, we've got.............. this.

Over the past couple years I turned from the 2k series to live and was really excited for this year. I haven't been on the forums for months until recently. I came on and saw they scrapped a tremendous came for a project. Ok, that sucks but let's see how it goes. After today I can officially say I'm a 2K guy again. The AI is atrocious. The announcing is embarrassing. The graphics are, well, I don't need to say it. The controls are "meh" -- and albeit an attempt to be revolutionary, what really happened is you guys shot yourself in both feet with shotguns.

Sales will dictate how bad of a move this will be. Don't think just because we're sim gamers here we don't in some way represent what casual gamers are going to say and do. The single biggest move that EA did was make the graphics aweful and casusal gamers will not stand for that. Returns and word of mouth will destroy sales. Maybe the EA hype machine can overmarket this game and trick a few, but eventually it's going to catch up.

Shame on you EA.

Ugh.... I'm going back to bed, I'm grumpy apparently.

# 316 stizz @ 09/21/10 08:43 AM

It's weird that it's not there for you BiggD. I'm downloading it at the moment.

Have you tried that link people have been posting?

# 317 odbman @ 09/21/10 08:45 AM

Downloaded the demo and as seveal have said big disappointment.controls not user friendly.not a sim game more a skill game based on you mastering the controls.again I will pass on EA basketball this year

# 318 fatleg3 @ 09/21/10 08:53 AM

yea the speed burst thing has been my biggest problem. I was playing with bos and i was winning. I pass the ball to nate and he was ran down by fisher who was trying to foul him

for everyone that says it looks so easy to get to the basket from the videos, um that is definitely not the case unless you are playing a user with bad on ball defense.

one more question. how do you dunk if you are right under the basket with the ball

# 319 erickonasis @ 09/21/10 08:55 AM

Well one thing i do like and i can see alot of people complaining about is the graphics (360). It seems they FINALLY got rid of the hunchback players which has been a main gripe of mine for years.

On the other hand the lack of a turbo / speed button im not diggin at all. This game will definitely take some time to get used to and hopefully it wont put me off from it. its definitely going to be hard to play 2 basketball games this year because of the different control schemes on each.

I still like the direction they are heading game feels different from 10 which i hated

# 320 carnalnirvana @ 09/21/10 08:59 AM

well.......

my god.....

damn.........

cpu post up is still broken, cpu still shots ugly shots on post ups because they cant back down effectively, everything is warping, rash and ugly.

fisher was doing a jab step, rondo took the charge but he fell like he had been leveled by a 2 ton person.

everything in the physics just feels forced just to express physics.

i did like that you cant just dribble infront of A defenders face blatantaly they reach in,... CPU kobe tried an array of moved to free himself up( however kobe never displays handle like that EVER)...
