NBA Elite 11 Championship Video

Still wonder why they took all of Live 10's things out SMH, I'm glad they didn't release this LOL

Making all the new controls along with the physics pretty much required that they remove all the animations and AI from Live 10.

I think we touched on this during the podcast pilot, but do you reckon they should've gone ahead and released it anyway, taken their lumps with poor ratings and then take the year off this year to work on the game based on our feedback?

Hmm, it is a very hard question to answer correctly. HAHA. In my time with the game, knowledge of the product and it's competitors, I would say they made the right choice. I mean there are bad games that come out all the time, but this just feels so pre-release (beta), and unfinished, i don't see any way this would garner even 1 positive review from a major source. They made the right decision because this also sets up a huge return for 2013. If that game is rubbish, then they are 100% kaput.

Agreed, they really have to come back strong. I'm not expecting perfection but with two years off, that should be enough time to point things in the right direction and make up a fair bit of ground.

They did recently extend their licensing agreement with the NBA though, so they'll likely be making NBA games for years to come. Next year could be their last good shot at salvaging the franchise and making an impressive comeback, though. I certainly hope they can do it and that we can play a role in it with our Wishlists and the like.

Oh, just saw it, that was low

Tell me about it.

Sweet upload bigball,it seems like EA didnt have time to make better champ celebration.

That was.. bad, for an understatement. Thanks for the upload, though.

No problem.

I'd love to see some more raw gameplay if you get a change, maybe even some slow mo replays to see how the game handled blending animations.

Absolutely.

Hmm, I may try to get this. My schedule has been pretty busy. I can try though.

Appreciate anything you can manage, if and when you get a moment.

That was really bad but has EA ever done a very good celebration cutscene?

yep, but for NCAA games

Those could be better but they're good. It wouldn't be that hard to implement something at least of that level.
