Features
In NBA Elite 11, we had to redo some configurations of the controls. We have now added a right stick analog controls to further enhance the shooting in replacing a single button, quite similar to NBA 2K11. The animations have been changed from what they were in past games. The dribble moves have been changed so there are new and more animations than there have been in past games. Shooting the ball involves more skills than in the past, because the right stick is now used instead of a button. Some are comparing this to NBA 2K.
Commentary
In this year of NBA Elite 11, a new Commentary team will take the place of Marv Albert and Steve Kerr. The ESPN crew of Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mike Breen will be in the Booth in this year of Elite.
Become Legendary Mode
On August 9, 2010, EA Sports unveiled Become Legendary Mode. It is a singleplayer career mode similar to EA Sports' NHL and FIFA Be a Pro Mode, and Madden's Superstar Mode. This is the first time a mode like this has been in an EA Sports basketball game.
