What is NBA elite '11 and NBA 2k '11?

NBA elite 11 is an unreleased basketball video game from electronic arts (ea). It was set to be the first installment in the NBA elite series, succeeding EA’s NBA live series as well. The games box art featured Oklahoma city thunder forward Kevin Durant (on the front cover). Originally planned to be released on October 5, 2010 the game was delayed until March 31, 2011 due to concerns about game play. The game cancellation was officially announced on November 2, 2010 and development of the franchise was moved from EA’s black box studio to its Florida based Tiburon studio. Ea has stated that it will instead release free DLC for last year’s NBA live 10, including roster updates for the 2010-11 NBA season. Previously, a download code for NBA jam was to be included with copies of Xbox 360 and ps3 versions of NBA elite 11, but NBA jam will now be released as a standalone game for both systems and the Wii. Controls were recreated to primarily use the right analog stick for actions such as shooting. New animations were also added,  NBA live commanders Marv Albert and Steve Kerr were replaced by the ESPN crew of Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mike Breen. The game was to feature the debut of "Become Legendary Mode", a single-player career mode similar to "Be a Pro Mode" in NFL and FIFA and "Superstar Mode" in the Madden games. The game's soundtrack was produced by 9^th wonder and rapper J. Cole and was going to include the song "The Plan."

My views of the NBA games

  There has been a lot of discussing about the new NBA '11 games. Over the years, I've noticed how most of the NBA 2K games are met with glorious impressions initially, It happens like clockwork every single year when a new NBA 2K is released. There is a lot to love about 2K11: the updated rosters, the updated Association and My Player modes, the game play enhancements, all the features, and the return of Michael Jordan to the virtual hardwood.  NBA 2K11 is as close to a basketball simulation as has been created. Player motion is incredibly fluid, with the personal moves and styles of individual stars captured in amazing detail. I would be lying if I said this wasn't my most anticipated video game release of 2010. It seem like October took forever to get here this year! When popping NBA 2K11 into your console for the first time, you're greeted with probably the best opening sequences in video gaming history. Jordan walks out on to the court; Game 1, 1991 NBA Finals. No start menu, No options adjustments, You're thrown right onto the front lines with Jordan as your Sergeant, your enemy, The 1991 Los Angeles Lakers and their floor general; Magic Johnson. 2K11 has its fair share of modes - Association, Playoffs, Single Season, Situation, Practice, Blacktop Mode, My Player, and Quick Game. As you can see, there is plenty to do in this game if you are a fan of the NBA.

NBA elite ’11 demo isn’t well rounded. The graphics are horrible, the online features aren’t what the fans have been asking for, the my player league doesn’t consist of all the things unsupported in the real NBA, the playoffs are all messed up, the trophies look fake, the controls are overly harden, I am so disappointed in what “ea” did to the NBA live franchise, I personally hated all the NBA live games anyway. I played the demo of NBA elite ’11 and after 30 seconds I quit. I believe for most game players of NBA elite ’11, they’ll be very challenged  to simply dribble the ball and get around there defender to make a simple lay up or even pass as your getting trapped by the defense. As a basketball player I think that NBA elite ’11 should be much better, as of right now the game sucks and I think NBA 2k11 is way better. But then again NBA elite ’11 is a demo as of right now the game was delayed for a year so you should already know the game was bad, the new release date is set for 3/31/11 so maybe the game creators will make NBA elite ’11 better.
