Dude, c'mon. I agree that the shot stick should stay. But enough with your blatant fanboyism. Take that crap over to the 2kSports forums, it doesn't belong here.

Re: NBA 2K11 First Impressions (Gameinformer)

Nice read. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with as far as the dribbling. I personally liked isomotion, but only while pushing the ball up the floor. When the players are stationary, you can't really move side to side and get your defender off balance (like you can in Live).

I never used the shot stick much for jumpshots, but I love it when it comes to floaters, layups, and dunks. Try to in & out with your right hand, cross over to the left, spin off your defender, then shoot a floater in the lane in Live (not gonna happen). As far as the article, to me, it's really all talk and I could care less what they say. We truly won't know how it is until we play it for ourselves. I just hope it controls much, much better.

2k can do whatever they want to do with the crossovers, just PLEASE DO NOT touch the shot stick <<<<<<<< This is the only thing I use to shoot the ball, X button is no longer relevant to me when I'm playing 2k.

Re: NBA 2K11 First Impressions (Gameinformer)

Some sports games, and its developers should seriously take note of this:

Visual Concepts wouldn't discuss innovations to its game modes, but promised that big things are in store for the Association and My Player modes. We'll hear more as we move toward the October 5 release date.

fleshing out, and continuously work on EXISTING modes; opting to add depth that way instead of constantly pumping out new "innovative" features while the 'old' ones suffer or is left largely unchanged. As for the control, it's hard to imagine it being any worse than it is in 2K10. I would guess the controls had to be one of their primary focuses this year given the amount of complaints levied towards 2K10 about that very same thing (and rightfully so). I just hope 2K was able to find a perfect balanced in the control department because while 2K7, and 2K8 control much better than 2K10, there was noticeably more sliding/gliding across the court. Still, I don't think it's too hard to top NBA 2K10 in the controls department.

What was a bit surprising given the short read was how the previewer noted that the game looked so good that it seemed that it was ready to "hit the hard court right now." There's still plenty of time left between here and the release date.

Yes, don't touch shot stick. New dribble moves, thats good news to me, the death of isomotion is good. Im curious from a presentation standpoint what things did they add with the help of the TNT guy. The presentation was already top notch, Im guessing oncourt presentation will look even more like a real NBA game. God im hoping they added a full halftime show, displaying highlights of your game and key plays with someone playbyplay commentary breaking down the action, or even showing highlights of other games going on around the league, I still miss that when NBA Showdown use to do that and NFL2K5.

No one has said anything about changing the shot stick so I don't understand where that came from.

Anyone who doesn't like the shot stick - has a button to shoot - like in all other games. Use the button, leave the shot stick for those who like it. Don't understand why people keep complaining about the shot stick. If 2K removed the button I would understand, but you still have the button. USE IT!

Re: NBA 2K11 First Impressions (Gameinformer)

hmm so we have players in suits coming off the bus...i wonder if you see injured players on the bench wearing suits

that would be a nice little detail....

Re: NBA 2K11 First Impressions (Gameinformer)

I bet Stern had to look at every player's suit - to see if it fits his standards...

Re: NBA 2K11 First Impressions (Gameinformer)

It's so funny reading some posts in this thread. "2k please don't abandon this," or "2k knows how to build on existing features," when just a year ago it was, "2k needs a new engine," and "2k shouldn't still be building on last-gen."

Or when Paul Pierce gets touched, maybe there can be an animation where he acts like he just got hit with sniper fire, wheelchair him back to the locker room, and have him come back to the court 5 minutes later completely healed. Just kidding, just kidding!

Guys on the bench in suits might be a little much. But I do want them to show a player warming up in his warm-ups while the commentators talk about him, in addition to player introductions.

Nice to hear they're working on the player models, but I shan't rest until I can move backwards 3 steps without having to summon a friggin' Eidolon via a calculus problem.
