Has EA finally given this series an identity?

Hopefully that clears things up....

well I guess in a few weeks we will see what a lack of sig animations will mean for Elite not sure that if it's a good identity to have since people play NBA games to relive what they saw their favorite players and teams do, what is the point of playing a game if players styles feel generic, it's also funny that if you look at old game from last gen you see what no sig animations look liked and it was not pretty.

Can't say until I play but it certainly looks that way. Live 10 was in many ways 2Kish so I like seeing the game go its own way. I've never really liked any Live's outside of 2000, 09 & 10 so i'm interested to play this.

well thats not good considering basketball is 5 vs 5 and when people want to see vids they want to see how this game looks 5 vs 5 not 1 vs 1. You should be able to see the controls even in a 5 vs 5 and i dont care if someone isnt an skilled pro at this game that knows everything with the control, that shouldnt make the game look as bad as it did in those vids. If thats the case then this game will only look good to the best of the best players and everyone else will get stuck with an ugly game.

I don't know how some of yall praise EA when they put out horrible Basketball games. There is no way they have an identity when the game looks and plays like that. I'm sorry, but i think they have seriously failed this year.

Funny. This thread started out about Elite and redefining itself, but turns into another pissing match with Wang being run out of EAC because he's not advanced enough? Good lord guys.

Well yea that's one of the drawbacks to not having the two player animations they kept things from looking too wild.

But I'm sure an improvement in contextual animations will help the game out. A lot of the problem is that the players only have a few animations for certain situations like shot contesting.

And if the team can make the players limbs react to the RTP that will be a tremendous help also.

I got to wait to see it when I play it in my hands. I remember they said they had "Total Control" in Live 04 and they really didn't have it. So it is a wait and see approach for me.

Damn I should've waited on this thread, I'm forgettin most people still have to play it lol!

Guess I'll bring it back it round demo time if it doesn't stay up long enough.
