Some NBA Elite 11 Notes (Videos, FIBA, More)

[Andrew]

Yaw has posted a few notes on his Twitter, addressing some of the issues in the Elite 24 videos and mentioning a couple of other points of interest in this year's game.

Elite 24 Gameplay Videos

The build at the event was NOT retail as implied on OS. The game isn't done yet, I believe the build was a few weeks old.

The game still hasn't finished development yet so there is some time to address issues seen on the videos.

The game speed will definitely be slowed down. Regarding the animations, the really out of whack ones will be fixed.

The game is set to a low difficulty level. Another thing as well, you won't really see the value of ELITE until you play the game.

Other Notes

With regards to the create-a-player I can tell you that it's a lot better than it was last year.

The rosters for FIBA have been updated this year to reflect the teams and rosters of this year's World Championships.

You will only be able to go into practice with your created player in the demo.

Thank god....those videos were turrible

You will only be able to go into practice with your created player in the demo.

boo....I want to shoot around with LeBron or someone really really good, like 99 OVR Paul Pierce, not my 70 overall CAP.

[Andrew]

Definitely a relief but I figured that would be the case. What we saw in those videos didn't really match up to some of the collisions and the like that we've seen in the quick clips. Wonder what's changed in CAP.

[Axel The Great]

Cool... Like Jao though, I'm disappointed at not being able to shoot around with an NBA player.

[Andrew]

I guess it's to show off Become Legendary though, which will be in the demo. I'm guessing we still have a snippet of five-on-five gameplay.

[Houndy]

Honestly, just another excuse. They wanted to save future buyers. But I mean, that looked like my crap. It really did

[Andrew]

How exactly is it "just another excuse"? That's not to say the finished product will be flawless but it's confirmation that what was at the event wasn't the final build (as I suggested and is often the case with these events). What we saw wasn't the finished product; that doesn't prove anything about the finished product but it's a relief.

[ThaLiveKing]

Good, I'm eager to try this Be A Pro Mode!!!

[rizzlekayandretti]

it didnt look as bad as people are saying the movement looked fluid ill admit that freethrow with boozer was head sctraching and sum scenes looked like players were skating and the models looked 2 blurry but other than that looked pretty good 4 a not finished game that looked very close 2 live's golden years

[Andrew]

There were some troubling things but seeing as though it was an old build and some things might be dropped or subsequently patched out, I'm not too concerned at this point.

[HyP82]

If the game is not done yet, I'll wait to see the final product. But the game really looked terrible in these videos.

[Murat]

I'm glad about FIBA. Will they include teams like New Zealand, Angola, Cote d'Ivoire, Tunisia?

[Andrew]

New Zealand and Angola have been included before, so I'm guessing they'll make the cut.

I dunno Andrew. He might be right. What other reason have they given us not to believe that. I mean even when u go to a Gamestop and try to buy an Easports baskeball title they warn u of the consequences. Thats just bad. I didnt think it was true until I experienced it myself when I tried to buy nba live 10. The guy almost refused to sale the game to me. They sound like excuses to me too. Remember when EA once released an Nba live 07 video a mnth before its release and a lot of people complained about the frame rate and other issues. Then EA came out and told everybody that it was an earlier build and the final buil would not run that way. Once the game released the same problems were still there. And they have yet to find an identity and stick with it. They were going somewhere with Nba live 10 and went away from it. And why? You dont go away from something thats working.

[Andrew]

Well, like I've mentioned a few times, what was on display at that event didn't look anything like the quick clips that have been shown in terms of collisions and the like. An unfinished/outdated build being on display at an event like that is not unfeasible nor unprecedented. Again, I fail to see how an explanation is an excuse. EA have been asked to explain themselves in the wake of those videos and when they did, it's thrown back in their face.

[Murat]

Thanks Sir. I'm waiting for Cote d'Ivoire and Tunisia.

[Axel The Great]

What's your worry so much about Cote d'Ivoire and Tunisia? They probably suck anyways.

[Houndy]

Collisons happen in 2k a lot

Collisons happen in 2k a lot

Dude now youre just trolling go to the nba 2k11 general discussion section plz or else its out of my hands. Im just saving you from yourself.

[Andrew]

Collisions have happened a lot in the quick clips, too. Which are from builds that are more current than the one that was on display at the event.

I agree, but I asked YAW if the game will run smooth like NHL 11, He said, NBA Elite is running at 60fps, so I'm not worried about the frame rate. Those videos posted don't even exist to me anymore. Im waiting to get my hands on the demo before I make anymore judgement. Gameplay is always my #1 concern. Also, I think it's a 50/50 thing if EA Dev team is still working to fix the game before the launch, meaning it could be a good thing or a bad thing, I certainly don't want that NBA Live 07 problem happening again this year, BUT I really believe it a good thing. And EA has always been good to us with the patching, so we know patches are coming

I didn't have a problem with buying NBA Live 10, the demo was proof enough that the game was worth the purchase. . the guy could have been a 2k fan boy, you know how they are LOL

[alisan1381]

If it would be released for PC , for FİBA Teams , I would buy it . But unfortunely they wont ..
