I wouldn't say many areas. But it's all perception anyways, so whatever. Live 10 was solid. Something to keep building on.

Live 10 was far better than it's past titles but IMO not better than 2k10 & yes the demo for elite was garbage..if 2k were to ever get their hands on the Fiba league it would be over for live or elite....(whatever u want to call it) but if they come up with a worthy title I would try it.

Yeah if they fixed the fastbreak logic, I would put Live 10 back in the PS3 - otherwise I'll wait for Elite 12 (or whatever they call it) and I hope they don't waste their time trying to fix Elite 11 and shorten the development time for Elite 12 - they need the full 12 months and then some to get an acceptable product out -ideally they should have 12 months of development time, 3 months of beta testing (with a select group of testers from the community) and then another 3 months to fix any problems -18 months minimum - but I know the EA suits and the NBA license would never go for that.

Then only 6-7 months for the next iteration? not gonna work my friend

How is it a company can be so out of touch with the majority of their base consumer? I already brought up what NCAA did with NCAA 11 this year. They (after producing moderate to poor games every year this gen) finally polled their consumers and as a result delivered maybe their best work in franchise history.

Arrogance, avarice and in some respects contempt. (This does not apply to the developers who have my respect). Unfortunately this country is turning into one the most anti-consumer country in the world -but thats a discussion for another forum.

I honestly hardly remember. I do remember having games in double digit FB's but not every game.

What I do remember messing with is not only the FB awareness slider but also the one in the edit player and just upped them all the way.

I never liked their ratings updates so this doesnt excite me one bit.

I doubt they'll be paying for another patch so whatever you cant edit yourself you can forget it

I think this could have happened to madden if 2K was still in football, cause that game is no where near where it should be at this point. What an **** turn of events.

Listen to what this fella said EA "You don't need gimmicks if you deliver great game play and atmosphere. The hype will be created by the consumer. "

Take the time to build a solid, realistic basketball simulation. Gimmicks and fluff should be put off until a proper foundation is built -otherwise just shut it down and concentrate on your other sport titles. Frustrating because the solution is very clear but is any one at EA listening. And enough with the ELite "controls" - you can't properly implement those controls when the foundation is so flawed.
