Looks like the NBA Live basketball series as we know it is no more. EA announced today its basketball sports franchise will now be known as NBA Elite. Their first release under the new moniker is slated for October. EA states there will be several new gameplay features that include a 'Hands-On Control' scheme which allows for, "one-to-one responsiveness of a player's movement and actions on the court".
"We plan to profoundly evolve the interactive basketball experience in a way that the category has not seen for a decade," says Peter Moore, President, EA Sports. "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."
