Looking at the NBA Elite 11 Poll Results

While opinions will obviously change over time as more information comes out and the changes are demonstrated within the game the first reactions to ideas can be pretty telling. After the news broke about NBA Elite 11 (formerly NBA Live) I got up a set of polls and with a few days having passed the results can be examined. Few like the name change, most everyone likes the idea of real-time physics being added, and there is a pretty even split when it comes to right stick usage.

That results regarding the right analog stick mirrors the reaction back when the news that Fight Night Round 4 got it that it had gone all analog for controls. Just about half seemed to like it while the other half was in an uproar over the decision. Eventually EA Sports patched back in a button control scheme so it is unlikely we would see the same mistake made here. Certainly there will be a more standard control option offered. However as I mentioned in the latest Padrecast the game will be optimized to play with the analog scheme and the development time is being dedicated to that so it will affect everyone regardless.

    i'm just wondering if they will still have an option for classic controls if you don't like the new ones? a lot of EA games do..i would rather have my controls the way i am used to..i play for years using the same control system and it's imbedded in my mind..i hate it when they change it.

    Since Littman is the creative director I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same thing with the controls that they did in NHL. Skill Stick, Classic (buttons) and Retro (only pass and shoot)

    Why are we wasting so much time talking about a game that NO ONE plays?

  • Bob

    sports video game fans are stuck in the dark ages.. if they lose one game they'll blame the controls and cry and moan

    I said in the article that I don't see a scenario where they would remove that option. They faced too much heat for doing so in FNR4.

    In some sense I agree with that, but I'm that way too to an extent. When you have a game series that comes out every year you get comfortable with it. Do I want to spend hours on end re-learning things rather than just having fun with the game? Not really. But if they can implement changes in natural ways that can be learned on the fly…that is the key.

    I like using the Right Stick for cross-overs instead of button mashing .

    I always liked it for dribble moves but now we're adding on shooting to the stick. Plus I'm guessing they'll keep the freestyle passing on the stick.

    I'm actually amped up for this years NBA Elite (Live). I'm tired of the horrible servers 2K sports has. And all the damn glitches too.

    They had confirmed that the old controls will still be there so you have nothing to worried about!
