NBA 2K11: Jordan Moments and Era-Specific Playbooks

Re: NBA 2K11: Jordan Moments and Era-Specific Playbooks

so, when they say classic teams, i will see this on my screen:

and not just generic player models with the name on the jersey? i really hope so. and it would be sweet if there is an option to customize rodman's hair pregame. this is definitely my most anticipated sports game of all time.

Yes, that should be what you see. A worker with 2K has stated that all starters from each of the listed classic teams has already signed on in addition to many of the bench players. He stated they were still making calls at the time this information was released, trying to lock up everyone on each roster. It'll be a tough get, but it seems they've at least locked up official access to all the primary guys.

I think it'd be awesome if the 2002-2003 Nets make it in the game.

Hey I know you're catching flack for this statement (as the '03 Nets were not involved with Jordan) and it may be small consolation, but the good news about teams 2002 and upward is that a lot of their players are still active in the NBA. Creating those Nets is well within the realm of possibility. Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, Anthony Johnson, Brian Scalabrine, and Aaron Williams I believe were all still available in 2K10. Further, some skilled artists on 2KShare were able to throw together some accurate d****tions (portrayals) of guys like Kerry Kittles and Lucious Harris. (Sorry, don't know why that one word is sensored).

I'd suggest looking out for classic 2000's rosters on 2KShare. I know I threw up a 2007 and I believe a 2004 roster (username: Swove) that if anything, can serve as starting points for people looking to recreate a favorite team from that era. I'm sure there won't be a shortage of people doing the same thing for 2K11.

Sorry if this has been covered, but will there be illegal defense programmed into the game for classic matchups? That's a very important distinction between then and now.

Era-specific playbooks? I hope this could also include era-specific rules from back when the NBA was a man's game.

Rodman was a real ******* doing this. It wasn't funny or making the crowd love him. That's just pure stupidity.

OMG I don't think I could be more pumped.

Should be easier now to create full retro rosters. CANT WAIT!!!!

Stiff hand checks as well.

How could i forget the pistons!!!Shoot!...only 10 teams besides the bulls, and EIGHT Bulls teams!!!Holy Cow!Well, a playoff format is going to be kinda hard to use them all.I guess an 8 team playoff i shall do and just play every single game....Also, only 4 west teams??(not counting the doubled jazz, which is silly as those are practically the same teams)so you got the lakers, sonics, blazers, and jazz for the west?The Suns are a glaring omission for sure, along with the pacers from the east(when factoring in Jordan rivavlries)...Gonna be a lot of fun

[jeffhardyfan52]

[UnusualMattyB]

Well ... being Jordans challenge the main focus and the classic teams the result of that feature, I can understand the multiple Bulls teams and the few West teams, as its hard to have any rivalry at all when you only face teams 2 games a season ... but then again, I do agree that PHO (and IND & ORL) are omissions that need to be addressed prior or near post release.

I would definitively love to see some more teams, that were relevant back then but not as much in respect of Jordans career, like HOU, GS, SAC, DEN, SA and/or MIA ... I would also love if they could expand upon the create a team/player feature ... but at this point, I am already satisfied and every other team or feature they may hopefully add, will be a bonus.

if they do have generics with just a number I HOPE WE CAN EDIT THEM and use the CAP system to make it look like their counterparts...

[melloyello313]

Dude, I literally just got goosebumps. This will undoubtedly cement 2k11 as the clear front runner un the nba sim competetion.

[melloyello313]

So... with the classic teams... I'm assuming we will get the BAD BOYS of detroit from 89-90? Rodman in his prime... Vinnie "the microwave" JOhnson, John "Spider" Sally? Just got more Goosebumps....

Re: NBA 2K11: Jordan Moments and Era-Specific Playbooks

I wonder if we replace current teams if we use them in Season's, or if they're like an expansion. I hope we can replace and remove teams. That would be great. Goodbye Thunder.... hello Sonics.

Would the Thunder players become free agents or disappear forever?
