NBA Elite 11 Gameplay Video (Operation Sports)

[Andrew]

If Sony's delays last year are anything to go by, maybe.

[SHAFT23]

I'm not really impressed witht he video. resentation and modelwise it's basically the same as live 10. With different commentary, which could be nice.

The game seems very slow..........no real fast breaks, it could be the style of play, but i noticed that the past nba lives fast break system was either too unrealistic or too easy to stop. Live 10 had a decent system with the freestyle passing which made finishing pretty good on breaks.

With no turbo button it could take away from the speed of the game.

collision still look weird to me. Post game looks upgraded, but to me it's the same moves as before with collisions in between them at times.

looks like a decent game, but live 10 looked decent too. It's not a huge step up, the collisions could make the game weird too many times.

i really hate the player models.......i just don't get why they don't have more diversity and more fluid movement between limbs. That would be the first thing i would change in the game.

eacht year i buy both games on the first day........this year it's probably gonna be 2k11 only.

[Mr.Skeptismo]

My God, i mean when is EA gonna stop with this generic crap , this is rediciolus , you would think they have learned by now , to me every shot looks the same , every player has the same movement , Epic Fail once again , even Mike doesnt sound like himself LOL

Im also concerned with the fastbreaks. But it looked they had several opportunities but they didnt attempt any. Notice how the video has more dislikes than likes. Damn EA the people arent liking this.

[HisGreatness]

lol they need to keep up especially the commentary thats 1 thing that made me turned off the game I was attempting on buying both games but with that visuals and movements uhhh!! Jeff van gundy is useless there he is just like an old man farming and talking also the presentation are not like live 10 with player appearance together( the first five) also the real photo outside the court. I didnt like also how the way it should be controlled especially on cov+dunk. The players also didnt watch when maggette reversed dunk on the rim all they just do is watching on the floor and watching the player that is guarding to them but the crowds are more bit reactive when there is a made shot or dunk

Common EA you need to show up to the gamers that you can stand alone and defend your title

I dont want to compare this to 2k because 2k also have some wrong animations like blocking cause the other blocks are just intentionally do like you where in getting inside the rim and make some kind of layup the animation of the layup are just changed with an intentionall block just like DH12 2 handed block the player just throw the ball up on the mid air intentionally and let the defender catch the ball thats just an easy

So nothing is wrong on both titles they just have there own plans on how they will developed both games whether bad or good

So long EA

[wabenne]

truthfully overall I think the gameplay looks good the best thing i liked about it really is the spacing I think the spacing was good and it didn't look crowded. In watching the 2k vids it seems so crowded all the time like players running everywhere. But I really also didn't see anything special in 2k vids though I think it had some problems its seems they still had a lot of special moves and dunks and stuff looked a lot stronger. I'm really just going to have to play the demo of both games to really get a feel because right now just with overall depth of the games 2k is up because it just has so much more to offer with playing with Jordan and the other greats. But just based off video gameplay of both games there are somethings I like about 2k an somethings i like about Elite. Hopefully we get a demo soon on both

I wouldnt say i was disappointed but very surprised how much different it looked to nba live 10 where imo i thought the way the players moved off the ball and set screens away from the play looked and worked great but to me this demo looked very very slow and to much over dribbling which iam sure EA wants you to do as they now have a new dribbling system that is a offence killer and encourages one on one play.

After watching it a second time my impression the 2nd time was better then the first I definetly think they were trying to show off the dribbling scheme and to be honest the dribbling looked great especially from the guards and shows up how much control v. animations we really can have. To me the game look authentic and not so much animation though I am really feeling 2k right now I think elites gameplay is a little more realistic in the spacing of the players as well as realistic moves and stuff because in 2k i've seen some big man do some things that they just don't do like Dampier but then again it is a game.

[mp3]

I just watched it again and i dont know what it is the movement does look right to me seems like they spent alot of working on contact at the basket and dribbling which has left a very slow dull looking no movement offence.

Maybe its the camera angel i dont know but i think EA wont be getting my money again this year judging by this video but it is early doors so there could be improvement.

[Mr.Elite35]

iThink the video was a very solid one . They were able to really show the Real-Time Physics feature & the new commentary.

In regards to the commentary itself, iThink its perfect. Jeff Van Gundy may sound boring because if you watch a game he commentates, he gets hype as the game goes along. He doesnt juss start of the game screaming at the top of his lungs. But iHope that they have the progression in the game.

Also, Post game seems to be improved & dribbling seems to be good also. ( Although i liked Nba Live !0's dribbling system also.)

P.S. Loved that they chose the Knicks ! NYK ^^^

[Axel The Great]

Not bad, I don't think they took full advantage of the ESPN commentary though. Mike Breen sounds like he's commentating from his dentist's office, and Jeff Van Gundy isn't epic. I like the post play, but I don't think I'll like running the break without a turbo button.

BTW- Will they still have offensive off-ball player movement like they had in Live 10?

[JaoSming]

another video, this time OKC (CPU) vs Detroit (user)

[ThaLiveKing]

Couldn't they just take the NBA Live 10 engine and make this game based off of it?

Just watched the vids again with a clear head since last night, I see what EA is doing, but like I said, some things in Live 10 could have been used in this game. I'm just seeing the same type of passes that were in Live 08, and those passes were the cause of so many turnovers. The presentation definately looks like NHL, I guess they are trying to get that "EA Theme" back, which doesn't bother me. The game to be honest doesn't look that bad, obviously you can't compare it to 2k . Those dunks in the second video look pretty good to me. for the 1st time, Live doesn't look ROBOTIC. I didn't see many quick plays being ran though, just a lot of standing around

Things they should consider:

Add a TURBO button or use the "legs" stick as a speed stick also, most games have it.
Add Pressure Defense animations or put back the defense assist button

*more ideas to come

[ThaLiveKing]

about the fast breaks

@blackflash83 >>> @ThaLiveKing The videos that you saw the users were playing a slower tempo deliberately. Fast breaks are possible without having turbo

[Arcane]

the way to get your player to run their fastest is to move the left stick all the way towards the direction you want. So there is speed variations in depending how far the left stick is moved.

[ataman5]

This looks quite promising, and i most definitely believe that it should feel a lot better than how it looks(+it's looking good already).

I have just seen the Prince dunk on the sec video, was that real?

Think of us getting quite a lot of signature plays to this and we'll be holding golden.

The basics are there, flow of the game and movements look good especially post play and interactions to get positions are so real-like.

Thx for the videos.

Ok, I figured that be the case!! Thanks

[Andrew]

I think that's the best video yet. Collisions aren't perfect but don't look too bad either, some slick movements in the post. That gather/layup by Prince looked a bit awkward though, maybe not the move that Novell was intending to pull off there. That happened a bit with layup control in NBA Live 10 as well. Presentation once again looks fantastic, finally great use of the ESPN license.

Good to see a shooting foul occur but it may be that we have to increase the foul sliders a bit for more of a sim experience. Likewise, the game speed might still have to come down a couple of notches and while I liked the blocks in general, there were a bit too many of them so those sliders might have to come down a bit as well for some of us sim heads.

Overall pretty good, once again certainly better than the Elite 24 videos in my book.

[atlwarrior]

Im not feeling the ai. i didnt like this video. The cpu is bad. One pass then the cpu would stand there with the ball looking into space with no urgency and just dribbles using no crossovers and take a weird jumpshot. Happened several times. Shot selection also bad. Why does it look so easy to block shots?

[Andrew]

Why does it look so easy to block shots?

The default sliders might be a little high. As I said, my thought it that we'll have to knock them down a little.

[rizzlekayandretti]

looks good glad they kept the live 10 presentation but commentary is a bit boring this year compared to ncaa basketball 10's gus johnson the most lively commentator ive ever heard and those thumbstic controls look painfully difficult to use ill definitely choose the nba live 10 control scheme over that this looks good doe no player sliding like the elite24 vids or ps2 type graphics the gameplay looks very fluid less robotic movements rebounding system looks finally realistic without ball warping the offball cuts by non user controlled players looks more authentic players actually look they wanna hustle for a looseball an play better d this year nba live 10 was as not as bad as most people were saying this game looks good graphically so far from what ive saw my only major complaint is why play with teams no1 really wants 2 see? good job EA glad i reserved this!

[JohnnyLi]

To me, the animations look hit and miss. Some of the moves look very good, but others don't seem to be very natural. I do like that a lot of the moves seem like they are as fast as they are executed in real life.

[Andrew]

my only major complaint is why play with teams no1 really wants 2 see?

They are unusual choices perhaps but my guess is they wanted to try something a little different and not have the teams overshadow what they're trying to show. Also, the Thunder are a pretty good team and Durant's the cover player, so that one's not too out of place.

[HyP82]

I don't know if they can correct this, but the players slide too much, especially the player who is guarding the ball handler. The way he moves feels unatural and doesn't look good. And sometimes, he seems to be stuck to the ball handler with an unatural speed (I guess he used the lockdown D). Maybe it lacks animation.

[atlwarrior]

Well i hope they show more videos. I have to see how the game looks on the Broadcast or Press Box cam. I know there are people that play on this angle but I hope they dont think that alot of us will be playing on it. This is not NHL or John Madden.
