lol I thought I would get that reaction. I am the girl dancing on the bed in my underwear.

But anyways... yeah that game is good now. It is no longer random and I can actually control my shot, defense etc.. People who try and play arcadey will probably get burned unless they know a glitch (hook shot glitch) but I am sure that will be fixed

All the people that are complaining seem like they are just so used to the arcade versions of NBA live 10 that they can't handle SKILL!!! Anyways, I tried the demo and it is not perfect but it is still a lot of fun once you get good at it! You really have to let the controls grow on you. Once you get used to it, it will be a lot of fun.. I plan on making a club and being at the top just like I do in NHL 11.. Trust me, you are going to be addicted to online Team Play and EASBA especially when your top club faces another top club..

well like reanimator said, respect what other people want to play or preferred to play. just enjoy the game man...

um, so you calling NBA Elite 11 a realistic simulation? riiiight.. its far from it, just like NHL 11..

now, dont get me wrong, im buying NBA Elite bc Live gave me the change of pace i needed from the realistic 2k game so to speak. it gave me a casual NBA gamer feel with a touch of realism..

Well NHL 11 is pretty realistic compared to NHL 2k.

Same thing will happen to NBA Elite in the long term. NBA 2k will get worse and NBA Elite will get better.

People are just mad because it is not NBA arcade anymore. You actually have to have skill to play. If anything this is GREAT for hardcore NBA guys because they can control all their players movement instead of pressing a button and having the game decide what happnens

Glad you like it, have fun. But as a sim guy this game just doesn't do it for me. Sure its fun and the controls are great but there are just to many thing wrong with the core gameplay and animations to really hold my attention. PLUS im mainly a offline player vs cpu guy and the ai in the game doesn't cut it. This game was made for player vs player so i really have no use for it. But hey as long as you enjoy it thats the important thing.

you bring up a good point. I hardly ever play NHL offline (be a pro at least)

I am a big online player and I do also play franchise with the Bulls. A.I is not the greatest in ANY EA game.. But over time I am sure they will improve that.

They have the core in place. Now the core is inexperienced and young but the potential is there to be great long term

Too bad over time has became 5+ years, and we are left waiting another one.

Good for you HMP. I hope that you enjoy the game this year.

EA needs to call naturalmotion

Why ? these are totally different dev teams developing NBA 2k and NHL 2k and the same goes for EA NHL and NBA Elite.
EA Sports is the leader in the hockey games market and 2k in the basketball games market. Why exactly would that change now ? (Not that it couldn't, I just don't see your reasoning why it should).

I'm amazed that people still don't understand what they meant. I does not replace mocap and it is not Euphoria. Reread the stickies.

Maybe Mike saw where this game was heading, and decided to leave and join 2K again. Like many said NBA Live 10 was a step in the right direction, but Elite looks to have taken a number of steps back. EA needs to hire a new team to work on this game next year, or the series will continue to suffer. So will their fan base, and sales. Just my opinion.

I just wonder what would have happened if this post was done buy a rookie member..... like me for example.....

People talking about persons ability to do what they love/have knowledge for, like it�s nothing

Respect....

I totally disagree about the talent. It's clear they have the talent in that company. In my opinion, they made decisions that I totally disagree with. But talent is not an issue. If Wang was still there, you would still have much of what you see. To a point, you only have so much influence on the final product. If they restart the team, they're dead. How many reset and passes would they get. They've committed to this direction and will supposedly stick with it for three years.

Again, this is just silly. So if Mike was there, you think he would have had the power to say no to Littman!? Stop the hero worship. At the most, if you believe this is the "end" as you say, then Mike's leaving was only a SIGN, not a trigger. HUGE difference.

That's awesome, watching two people have fun with the game makes it all worthwhile.

Once you get better at protecting the ball there should be a lot fewer successful steals.

I would love to hear what you think about the amount of Negative press and the impending bad sales. I'm sure you guys put your heart and soul into this game, and is getting destroyed before it even hits.

Did you see this coming? Are you happy with where the game is at? Do you think 2K is way ahead of you guys?

# 978 23 @ 09/25/10 04:24 PM

wow

# 979 RayDog253 @ 09/25/10 04:42 PM

Has already been posted plenty of times.

Is that your only Impression for the game?

Wow, this thread was looking positive from pages 114 to 116 then it all went down hill again. And 23 just caps it off by posting a glitch video. SMH. Where's the veteran insight, you haven't posted an impression yet, but you post a glitch video. SMH....
