The more I play it, the more I like it, even the way the game seems stripped down and lacks in many aspects. The feel of the controls is just so wonderful. It's overpowering, to me. Not to bring up 2K but it still lacks big time in the control department. Wish I could combine the 2 to make the game I always dreamed up because they both have all the elements but not one does everything right.

If it shows that they actually went in the wrong direction when the sales figures first hit, go hard on the PS3. At that point it would be a what have they got to lose scenario. To me, it looks like they've really tapped out the engine's resources without the extra disc space. Not to mention they could REALLY go hard like how the guys who dev The Show do. The PS3 has some real nice tricks up it's sleeve, as well. EA could make up lost dollars with even greater sales that way when word of mouth of how great a game they put together on the 3....but then again, they'd need a couple years of dev time to go hard on an Elite 13...maybe. Just a thought but I know how many of you will take that the wrong way...

Its not disc memory that they are having a problem with its RAM and both platforms are pretty equal in that regard.

On these boards he seems to be. And please have once over on what you said you would answer. Thank you!

LOVE how when u Eurostep u still have to shoot the ball manually. Otherwise it results in a travel if u forget to shoot, which I have since I'm so used to the CPU completing the animation and shot for me. Nice touch.

Honestly man, I won't let others opinions effect the game for me. I'm having fun with this demo. I love the amount of control that I have on the court. I literally have the freedom to do the moves I want when I WANT. I'm loving the fact I can call for a pick and roll, do a hop step and finish with a switch lay-up. Awesome awesome awesome. Great year of basketball for me. Both 2K11 and Elite will be purchases.

Do you feel as though this is an AUTHENTIC NBA game?

This game looks like Live 2000....my wife was watching me play and she thought i was playing playstation 2....all i can say is wow. What happened to EA....2k11 is light years ahead of this game! Its a shame too...it is what it is though.

I am not dogging them. they have been the main asset to this product on the OS forums. They have been telling us to wait for the demo for weeks now, well it's here ad the reviews are 99% negative. I am asking rEAnimator to defend his product, and answer a few of the questions he said he would. Why have the graphics gotten worse? why is the scaling so miss-proportionate? Why is the 5 v 5 action so stale?

Authentic as in everyone has sig moves and individuality? No, I don't see that. The only thing I've seen close to authentic are the sig shots. However, whether or not this game is authentic I like the fact that I'm being given the amount of control that I have. I'm not saying this game is perfect. No not at all. I've seen more than a few flaws. Through all of it though I can appreciate what the developers have done with the controls and stringing moves together to pull off a sick lay-up just feels great to me.

# 132 bigball12 @ 09/21/10 03:47 AM

I received a warning for being outspoken. Please just answer the questions you said you would happily answer rEAnimator.

I lost brain cells trying to read and comprehend whatever you just posted.

# 134 Regalo @ 09/21/10 03:48 AM

It really went downhill after the tutorial. I think the control scheme is slick; it's visionary. The animations, the spacing, the off-ball movement, the decision making, are all not up to par.

Dude calm down if he is enjoying the game let him be, and stop trying to go hard on rEAnimator, is obvious a lot of people are not feeling the demo. But god he's been here since day one and is still here through all of the impressions smh

Oh, ok. I sure don't *tells friend about an uniformed reply to a comment made about something he actually knows about*

rEAnimator - Is there a speed slider in the retail version?

I don't see why we should take it easy. this has been one of the first things in 4 years on this site that has gotten me hot. We are the consumers, we pay them, not the other way around. If one of us (me) would like to ask questions, I think I am entitled to.

# 139 Mike Smoove @ 09/21/10 03:51 AM

@ rEAnimator I hope you just use this negative feedback as fuel to make a better game next year. I haven't tried it out yet as im on 360 but it is what it is. Honestly this is what I expected. Its a rebuilding year. Just dont get discouraged.

# 140 SeerMagicX @ 09/21/10 03:51 AM

Really disappointed, and I've been playing live for the last 3 years. I like the new controls, but wow somehow everything is worse. The animations are worse, defensive controls are worse, no turbo at all.

Redone dribbling controls they are going on and on about, same as last years. Atleast they feel that way to me.

Why is there no slider for game speed? You wanna see how fast this game is running, just do the pivot moves with the ball carrier and watch there body, they almost seem to teleport where they are going.

Just awful all around, the game speed is what really does it in. Guess I'll have to wait awhile before I can play NBA Jam.
