NBA Elite 11 Wiki Page, FAQ & Wishlist

True, but you don't buy a game just to look at it. If the playing experience isn't enjoyable, then it's not going to hold your interest.

graphics?come on man what is with people and graphics i mean i still play NBA live 2003 on my PC and MY OLD ASS PS2 LOL.some people even play NBA live 98 on PS1and PC.

I'm often surprised when I see graphics ranked above gameplay or game modes in terms of importance but to each their own I guess. I'm easier to please when it comes to the graphics, probably because I have fond memories of the days when the graphics were nothing like they are now.

Very true i still play NBA live 95 on my PC some times even on my snes and the gameplay is great even after 15 years.lol

Yes. At NBA Live 06's PS2 version, there was NBA Live 95 too. Same method at NCAA March Madness 06. I saw NBA Live 95 at PS2

Unfortunately it wasn't a completely faithful recreation owing to the lack of likeness rights. It was also only available in the NTSC version, so far as I know.

I got a lot of memories from the times when i played nba live 2001 on ps1 every single day. The game was just amazing! ... And nowadays i think why is everything so god damn difficult ..all the patches and mods and glitches .. when i played nba 2001, there were no problems, no mods, no sliders, it was just a game. How simple was that.. but now ..you have to tweak some kind of sliders and stuff. Too complicated

I'm guessing you weren't a part of this community back then. There were heaps of patches for NBA Live 2001 including tweaked rosters which specifically tried to improve the gameplay by addressing issues such as the offensive to defensive rebounds ratio and lack of a midrange game and NBA Live 2001 had its fair share of issues which were discussed/complained about all those years ago.

In theory you don't have to use patches or tweak the game if you don't have a problem with the product out of the box. Many of us do, which is why we seek to make our own fixes and enhancements. Some people prefer a slower, more realistic pace and lower shooting percentages, others are fine with the default gameplay settings. What you see as too complicated, many of us see as necessary customisation opens so that ideally, each player can get the experience they want out of the game.

Yes exactly, I switched from Pro to All-Star last week, and for Pro, I had the CPU shooting sliders to almost 100, and mine were to 50. Now on All-Star, it's the other way around, and that way I get a very realistic gameplay, because the games could go either way.

Indeed. They're there if you want to tweak the gameplay, as they should be. The community of patchmakers modifies and enhances the game for those who are interested in such endeavours. Anyone who wants to skip all that certainly can and play the game as is, but the options should be there for people who desire them.

Really NBA live has to get Reggie Miller and Marv Albert...and yes, live stepped their game up as far as unique commentary goes from regular season to playoffs and finals but get even more unique... put more emphasis on buzzer beaters and bring in tip dunks... no slow mo when a player misses the ally. everybody is crying about the defensive control of the players but i like it.

GET REGGIE MILLER PLS!

Yeah, with Kerr long gone from the TNT team I'd like to see Marv paired up with someone else. I'd also like to see them make greater use of the ESPN license as they did with NCAA Basketball 10 but I'd be sorry to see Marv go. It'd be great if they could at least alternate ESPN coverage with a TNT license (should they acquire it) or use Marv and someone as a fictional EA Sports network broadcast, similar to how NBA 2K's commentary references 2K Sports.

95 is better than 2010.

I could rattle off a bunch of things that have improved or been added over the years, but given your responses so far in this thread it would be a waste of time. So let me say it again: we get it. We get that you don't like NBA Live 10 and have no interest in getting NBA Live 11. That's fine. But in continuing to make these posts, you're just spamming and trolling. You've made your point, now move on and post in topics that actually interest you.

Okay. Its my thought. But I know and I believe, there are a lot of NBA Live fans. I just told my thought.

That's fine, I don't want to give you the impression you're not entitled to your opinion or to criticise the games. That should absolutely be part of the discussion as constructive criticism is in our best interests as gamers, but if all someone does is bash the game with hyperbole and rhetoric, it just bogs down the discussion. If you feel the game sucks, fair enough but if you're not going to elaborate on it any more than that you only need to say it once. As I said, we've got the point so there's no need to beat a dead horse.

They need to bring back the legends i no it will never happen but i can dream right.

I agree bring back the legends and let's get Reggie and drop kerr.
Inbound plays and create a play would be nice, also the ablity to
create yourself silmlar to fight night and FIFA.

NBA Live 10 does actually have inbounds plays already. I'd love to see the Legends return, so long as they can secure likeness rights for enough players that they don't have to leave out a lot of the guys from the 90s as they did the last few years in the last gen releases.

Cool I didn't know they had inbound plays my ps3 got the YLOD
so I haven't been on my live10 season in a couple months. I hope
they bring back ingame saves and please bring back the hot zones
that's what made me fall inlove with live all over again.

What I'd love to see is to choose who should inbound the ball. The other day I was the Celtics against the Cavs, I was down by 2 with 3 seconds left, I took a timeout and told myself to just get the ball to Ray Allen to go for a game winning 3. Only problem was, he was the one inbounding the ball!!! I found Rondo, but as everyone knows, he isn't a shooter, so I missed the 3 and lost the game. All I am saying is, at times, your clutch shooters end up having to inbound the ball at the end of games, and that's not cool.

I'm not holding my breath on ingame saves, but would love to see them return without a doubt.

Yes, definitely! I've wanted that for a long time too, as you said it doesn't help from a strategic point of view when the inbounder is locked to the small forward position following a timeout or another dead ball situation.

I think i mentioned that i played NBA 2001 on playstation 1 and you literally can't dowload any updates for sliders or rosters bcause ps1 doesn't have any online connection like Xbox do. In the past you just had to deal with the deafult sliders etc but now you can download all kinds of updates

Yes, I realise that but that doesn't change the fact that patching the games in an effort to fix or enhance them is not a recent innovation, which is the part of your post I was addressing. Nor does it change the fact that if you find that stuff too contrived or confusing, you can avoid it altogether but it's important that those options are there for people who do want them.

yeah, i understand

Besides from adding Reggie Miller on the commentary tip... you guys need to add the ENTIRE Nba experience (ie:the way Madden added the entire NFL experience). Go as far as to add TNT to the playoff broadcast ie: 40games in 40nights. I'll have more later.

Seeing what can be done with ESPN and CBS Integration in NCAA Basketball 10, I'd agree that could really add to the atmosphere in NBA Live 11.

Perhaps EA can make create a new players easier, or every time we want to do a new player, we have to spand many time collecting photos and pictures. But since Live 11 will not release in PC, well, this function is not so necessary, though.
