NBA Elite series published by Electronic Arts is noted to be among the foremost National Basketball Association simulation titles in the gaming terrain. EA now discloses a new iteration into the acclaimed series dubbed as the NBA Elite 11. According to the company, the upcoming title includes a new control scheme, real-time physics system and new technology base.
NBA Elite 11 has made some innovative alterations to the gameplay. The new Hands-On Control scheme enables one-to-one responsiveness with regard to actions and movements. The latest inclusion can be applied to all the player’s defensive as well as offensive moves such as dunks, dribble moves, fadeaways, blocks, mid-air adjustments, steals and drives to the basket.
David Littman, Creative Director, NBA Elite 11 explained, “NBA Elite 11 will give gamers the same skill set that a pro basketball player has at his disposal,” said “This is the first basketball simulation videogame where you are controlling every movement, dribble move, shot, dunk, lay-up, steal and block in real time with one-to-one control. You’re no longer going to push a button and watch the computer generate a long animation sequence. It is like being on a basketball court with an amazing set of skills. This is going to change what people have come to expect from a basketball simulation videogame.”
Peter Moore, President, EA Sports stated, “We plan to profoundly evolve the interactive basketball experience in a way that the category has not seen for a decade. In NBA Elite 11, we’ll introduce a gameplay experience that gives fans the control on the court that they have been begging for in a basketball game for years.”
The real-time physics system employed in NBA Elite 11 lets gamers move independently and hence does away with the two-man interactions that have been previously used in basketball simulation games. The new skill-based shooting system works on accurate user input which is based on the gamer’s position secured on the court.
NBA ELITE 11 is fashioned for the PS3 as well as the Xbox 360 and will dunk into stores by October this year for a price of $59.99 (approx. Rs. 2,797).
