NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: The Sticks
 

2K Sports has just posted another NBA 2K11 Developer Insight, going over the controls in the game.

Quote:
"The number of moves you can pull off in NBA 2K11 is pretty insane. When you get your hands on the game this fall, one of the first things I’d recommend to everyone is to navigate to the Main Menu and go to --> Options --> My Controller --> Advanced Controls. Here, we’ve detailed most of the major things that we’ve added to the on-court experience. Of course, in typical 2K fashion, we’ve left some of the moves off the list for you to discover on your own as you play the game. As a game designer, one of the ways I’ve always gone about my work is to study real NBA games and translate what I see into game mechanics. For me, if I can pull off everything I see on TV in our game, then I’m pretty happy with the controls. And with NBA 2K11, there’s very little (if anything) that you can’t do on the sticks to replicate your favorite real life moments. I remember being in motion capture with a few of the swingmen we brought in to do some new dribble moves and shots. Walking the guys through what we wanted them to do, on more than one occasion they would say, “that’s a great move, I’m gonna start using that” or “man, you guys got every move in the book in this game!” Coming from NBA-caliber talent, that’s a nice acknowledgement to how in-depth some of the moves in our game have become."

I hope they put the full moves into the manual or a disclaimer on the game saying to download the full manual for move pack. Because I remember 2k8 did this exact thing, and the manual book was thin..and reviews bitched about it like there was no end.

2k definitely has been on a roll man they know how to get the gamer prepared for there release and people always want them to drop information every week like i do but look how everybody is excited to play this game and nba live/elite always telling us whats new with there game and you don't really have that urge to go get it seeing how you know everything thats going to be in it

The new dunk controls appear snazzy. I'm pumped about choosing when I'm going to hang on a flush attempt.

The new controls are much better. I have not been this hyped for a game in years. Incredible!

Man...I have to agree...The way its sounding right now. With the MJ deal. And the gameplay...The visuals...We might be talking about the G.o.a.t.

i havent read the insight but i watched the video and everything was pretty cool.... until i saw that spin dunk WHY 2k? the spin dunk was one of the favorite things to abuse on 2k8/2k9 and guys are bringing that back?...jeez

At this point can anyone in their right mind possibly keep a straight face when hearing "Dunno, it's just 2K10 but with Jordan". :spit:

Best blog ever haha!! Is exactly what I wanted to hear they improved every one of my concerns from last year. The new shot control sounds great and the interruptible moves is something I've been wanting for a while now.

This game is definitely going to be the best bball game this year (and maybe one of the best ever) if everything comes together like they say. I can't wait for the demo to drop to finally get my hands on this one.

I'm pumped about that move. I will guess it will not be able to be pulled off every time down the court and I know the example I have below is Vince Carter, but this is a play that definitely exists and is pulled off by a multitude of players so I'm pumped to see it so smoothly executed in 2K.

Those just happen to be the first two that come to mind because I'm a huge Vince fan.

You’ll see everything from catch blocks, to chase down backboard pins, and everything in between. They’ve created some of our favorite highlight moments this development cycle.
Catch blocks?

So we'll be able to re-live this:

If so, first thing I'm doing is putting Jordan on the Wizards. :woot:

Because i play a lot of ranked games and will play a lot of my crew if they fix the servers too, so it will be annoying dealing with an abusive move every time. Maybe im paranoid but that spin/dunk move give me flashback of kobe duking over me on 2k8, people would spin to get on auto-dunk spot, why bring a move that was very exploitable? hopefully its like vdusen04 said and you cant pull that off every time

because sim players won't exploit it ....

Amazing insight. Usually I'm extremely skeptical, but I'm a believer now. Every 2k game I've played has been good, but none have ever come close to reaching their full potential.

If they can successfully execute on these aspects of gameplay and control this could finally be the game that reaches it.

I can't wait to see what they have done to the post game.

I agree, I'm pretty sure the demo was on pro to demonstrate the moves. I don't think yje moves will be exploit or much of.

You want to take out a fundamental move ? no offense XxRocky145xX, but thats ridiculous. If that's the case, they should have taken out the post up game in 2k8 because it 2k7 it was an exploit instead of improving it.

And I doubt it'll be THAT exploitable since the gamestyle will be Simulation online.

As you can see, NBA 2K11 is much more than just a tweaked 2K10 with Michael Jordan on the cover.
The best way to describe this game.

I cringed when I saw that also, but in Beluba's latest insight he mentioned a key word.

Quote:
So what good are all these offensive weapons if the defense doesn’t have the tools to counter? That was something we were very conscious of throughout feature development and something we knew we had to get right in order to have a fun and balanced experience.
If they stay true to that everything should be fine. It can even enhance the game by making big plays more exciting and special.

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: The Sticks
 
2k did a lot of effort this year.o
making guys like paul pierce with multiple sig shots is a huge thing in my opinion.

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: The Sticks
 
Everything sounds pretty great. Looking forward to both demos equally now.

I'm interested the most in playing defense this year, because it sounds much more engaging than in years past. Love the addition of manual hard fouls and practice jerseys.

The 1-to-1 dribbling and moves that are branch-able, interruptible, and controllable sounds really intriguing. The shot modifier has added a layer of depth that wasn't there (or at least controllable) and the new shot stick logic for dunks sounds good.

Someone had to ask: Is there potential for technical fouls or injuries when performing hard fouls?

jeebs9 08-26-2010 03:33 PM
Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: The Sticks
 
That was one of the biggest problems. Players have different jumpshot all over the floor. Paul Perice has 11 different forms by himself in real life. I'm so happy they have broken it down now. mid range jump, 3 point jumper, and (rare leaner) CP3. This is awesome...

Theere will be no technical fouls .
