Early Features List

The Gamestop.com product listing for NBA Elite 11 includes what I'd say is a very early features list, as it doesn't mention Become Legendary (something I'd definitely expect to be on the final list and back of the box) but I thought it was worth posting all the same. I'd say we'll be getting the official list sometime after the demo but before October 5th.

All-New Hands-On Control

• The Game is in Your Hands—For the first time in a basketball video game, dribbling, shooting, passing, and defense are based on skill, fundamentally changing the entire NBA basketball experience. With complete hands-on control outcomes are no longer predetermined, and you become the deciding factor between game-winning shots and momentum-changing blocks.
  
  
• Enhanced Dribbling System—The right analog stick controls your hand movements like never before, allowing you to dribble with one-to-one movement unique to NBA ELITE 11. Control the floor with all-new hesitations, spins, behind-the-back dribbles, and much more.
  
  
• Call Your Shot—The days of predetermined outcomes based on a random push of the button are gone forever, as the result of every play is based on skill. Each player has a ‘sweet-spot’ and the ability to hit a shot is based on their skill set, defensive pressure, and proximity to the net. It’s up to you to put everything together and hit the shot.
  
  
• The Drive to Win—The ability to drive to the net has never been so true to the game of basketball. Independent control of your hands and feet allows you to maneuver and dribble with precision, making the drive down the lane based on skill instead of a scripted defensive reaction.
  
  
• Defense Matters—Independent hand controls also allow you to be more strategic on defense as you use the right analog stick to make steal attempts and game-changing blocks.

Unprecedented Game Physics

• Feel the Game Like Never Before—Radically improved game physics rid the days of locked animated sequences leaving you in control of the player at all times. When you drive aggressively to the net and go up with authority, you can be sure that whoever is standing in your way is going to be knocked to the ground.

Steals and blocks I don't excel at in Live 10, so hopefully that'll change this year. I always get the timing right, but the animation never pops up.

Without canned animations, steals should hopefully be a lot better. Having been playing NBA Live 06 recently, I'm definitely looking forward to less canned moments on defense, interceptions are fine but picking someone's pocket was very much a canned thing in last gen. NBA Live 10 is better than 06 in that regard but there was still room for improvement.
