NBA 2K11: New Alley-Oop Controls, Jordan Challenge=8 Mins and NBA-Approved Hard Fouls

04:39 PM - August 30, 2010 by esilk

ESPN Videogames' Jon Robinson, has posted some more NBA 2K11 information. Including new alley-oop controls, the Jordan Challenge set at 8 minutes and NBA approved hard fouls.

Quote:


	"Alley-oop controls changed to LT+B this year (was LT+A) to help avoid accidental tosses while running with turbo and simply trying to pass. Jordan Challenge quarter length is 8 minutes. Classic teams are all available to play as in Exhibition games right out of the box. You don't need to beat them in Jordan Challenge in order to play as them. There are NBA-approved hard fouls in the game. No fighting, but players will get dragged down as the defender tries to prevent you from getting your shot off."

I usually play in 5 or 6 min quarters, 8 min a quarter is doable for these MJ challenges. I think 12 min is way too long anyway.

I think the sleeve will be part of the player model, but Im not sure.

I wonder if the lob pass is still LT+A. If this is the case then I'm happy because in 2k10 having lob and alley-oop as the same button combo had too many errors.

Man I feel you here, Dominique has been in the 2K games for the last few years but I never thought it captured him right they just gave us Dominique Wilkins, I hope this game gives us Dominique Wilkins "The Human Highlight film" version.

I was concerned about this when I first read that there would be other teams and players from that era. I guess old Chuck didn't want to be dominated in this millenium as he was last millenium.

I would love to go up against the Suns with the Bulls again.

True. I hope you'll be able to change the time to 12 minute quarters. Either way, I'm still interested in the challenge. I'm glad that they changed the alley-oop control, I swear when I first started playing 2k10 I'd always alley-oop by accident and commit a turnover.

And about Chuck Barkley, it's a shame that he didn't want to be represented in the game. He's one of my all-time favorites.

I just hope you can choose the minutes. I always play 10.

# 30 scatman @ 08/30/10 06:06 PM

I normally play 10 min quarters to give me the best realistic results during assoc. If this mode is locked in to only 8 min, so be it, as long as the buckets don't come super easy, or I can adjust the difficulty myself. I would hate to beat this game mode in my 3 days of having the game thus having reason to touch it afterwards. I would hope I can change the minutes but will not fuss if I cannot.

# 31 scatman @ 08/30/10 06:18 PM

I wonder what the hard fouls are going to look like, and what kind of emotion will the game display as a result of a hard foul

I don't think it's a matter of him not wanting to be in the game. He has some sort of special license or contract or whatever which prevents him from being in video games.

Quick question (didn't have time to read this or other threads to find the answer):

Can you take an historic team through a season? If so, how will it work? For instance, if you can indeed play a season with the '86 Bulls, how would you do it? Not play against the current '10-'11 Bulls? That would be best, as it would be weird to play Bulls vs Bulls (but I'd have no problem playing '86 Bulls vs '10-'11 Cavs).

Yes. You can replace existing teams with the classic teams and take them into Association/Season, just like you do with custom teams in 2K10.

You know where to find that info? I'd like to really know why he doesn't want to be in games.

# 36 jd@os @ 08/30/10 06:29 PM

Thanks for the quick reply guys.

So I can take the current Bulls out but play their schedule with an historic Bulls team? Great.

this was well though of....i have seen way too many accidental alley hoops in previous nba 2k games maybe the only ohter thing to change is to remove X on the xbox controller as a direct passing button...sometimes u accidentaly shoot the ball feom half court

It's been talked about since the days of NBA Live 95. He, Jordan and someone else finally features in NBA Live 98 or 99 I believe, and since then, neither Jordan nor Barkley have appeared in any Live or 2K games (except NBA Live 2002 when Jordan was a player again).

I can't seem him saying no every year for 15 years just cause he doesn't want to be in a basketball game.

MJ was in an NBA 2K game too with the Wizards.

Then it must've been around 2002. 2K and Live have the rights to active players in the league, but not all retired players.
