| NBA Elite 11: Q&A With David Littman |
Gamespot has posted an interview with the NBA Elite Creative Director, David Littman. In the interview, he discusses the reasons for the change in name and direction with the NBA Live franchise.
NHL and NBA have been working together for a while since a lot of features are similar such as Dynasty mode, Season mode, and Online Team Play. But we wanted to take it one step further. NHL has been incredibly successful over the last few years, and the NBA franchise could greatly benefit from the learnings we have had on NHL. I had a vision and design for what I thought the NBA game could be both on and off the court and brought that vision to a few other people at EA. We got a prototype up and running, and it really caught on internally. |

| As the lead designer for the resurgence of the NHL series in recent years, Littman takes up the position with credible success to his name and it will be interesting to see what changes are made to the NBA franchise by EA Canada. Included here are a bunch of screenshots - the first that EA have released showing NBA Elite 11 - and given that it is still apparently early in development (NBA Live was traditionally released around November) it will be interesting to see whether the visuals improve dramatically over the coming months. |
