NBA Elite 11 by EA Sports (Live is dead)

[Master X]

Set to hit the retail paint in October, NBA Elite 11 boasts "an all-new technology base, a new control scheme and a real-time physics system."

It's currently only in development for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and the new physics system means that players can now move around the court independently without being tied to another player. There's also going to be a new skill-driven shooting system that will require "accurate user input" and have its success tied into player orientation on the court -- no longer will there be "random dice rolls" to determine successful shooting. Finally, EA details a new "Hands-On" control scheme, which promises 1:1 movement, doing away with those long, annoying animations of the past.

"We plan to profoundly evolve the interactive basketball experience in a way that the category has not seen for a decade," says Peter Moore, President, EA Sports. "In NBA Elite 11, we'll introduce a gameplay experience that gives fans the control on the court that they have been begging for in a basketball game for years."

Agreed Live has floundered for some time, a new brand name and a different direction is what they need.

Live was TERRIBLE for quite a few years, so this is good news. it was way too NBA Jam, in terms of shooting %.

yeah..at first i was like WHAT??!!, THE END OF LIVE??... but then thought oh yeah, it's been sucking, and sucking hard.

i was almost obsessed with 01 and i didn't realize that it was the first Live to not be made for N64 and i went nuts for my week of school vacation/spring break of 01 looking for it. i thought 2002 was still really great, and Jason Kidd's cover starring 2003 was nearly epic...but i was shocked at how screwed up 2004 was an it only went down hill from there.
