NBA Elite 11 Physics Focused Video
EA Sports has released a new video that goes over the real-time physics that has been implemented in NBA Elite 11. Things like weight being a big factor, the ability to break out of animations, the ball being knocked away dynamically, and improved rebounding are touched on. This is probably the first video for NBA Elite 11 that I've felt shone it in a largely positive light, though I still have great deal of trepidation towards the title based on all the past looks at the game and the way i...

New Trailer for NBA 2K11
2K Sports has released a brand new trailer for NBA 2K11. There have been two previously, the first included primarily 2K10 footage and the second was a brief teaser for the inclusion of Michael Jordan. This is an extended look at the game, presumably all 2K11 footage, while mixing in Jordan and some other historic teams/players. I especially loved seeing the Sonics! As always trailers such as these are all about flash and not necessarily substance so they can be fun to watch but probably no...

NBA 2K11 Creating a Legend Mode
ESPN has revealed details on "Creating a Legend" mode which will represent another usage of Michael Jordan in NBA 2K11 (not to be confused with NBA Elite 11's "Become Legendary").

NBA Elite 11 Become Legendary Mode Introduced
EA Sports has released a new trailer focusing on the "Become Legendary" mode in NBA Elite 11. Become Legendary is the name being given to what would be most recognized as Be a Pro in NHL or FIFA. Created players in the mode will also be used in the online EASBA (similar to EASHL in NHL). Both were originally discovered back in June but EA Sports had yet to publicly acknowledge them until now. The trailer pushes the Gamestop pre-order and bonus but does provide the first discussion of the th...

More Influential: Michael Jordan or NBA Jam?
The NBA is pretty much the only sport these days that features a legit head-to-head competition between companies. That is being evidenced even more this year with both 2K Sports and EA Sports making big moves for consumer interest and market share. 2K Sports signed Michael Jordan as the cover athlete and NBA Elite 11 includes a free downloadable copy of NBA Jam. Which one will have a stronger influence on a potential purchase decision? Michael Jordan: The greatest NBA player of all time is...

NBA Elite 11 Features ESPN Presentation
A video from a foreign outlet at a recent EA Sports event has inadvertently revealed that ESPN presentation is present in NBA Elite 11. While there had been speculation that ESPN (or ABC) style presentation would be included based on the new commentary team this is the first sign of it to emerge. The video also includes the first opportunity, though quite brief, to see true 5v5 gameplay from the new default camera angle. Continue on to check out that video (primarily :31 where the ESPN wipe is...
