NBA 2K11 Screen Grab: No TNT Logo (Via Derrick Rose)

Yep, since the court is wrong to be the 1991 Bulls'. The center court is the one used in Chicago Stadium up until the 1986-87 season...from 1987-88 onwards it was the Bull. So it makes sense for it to be a quick game between the '86 Bulls and the '91 Lakers.

That'd make real good sense. Though, did someone say there's mention of Conference Finals statistics? I cannot read the screen very well. I wonder if those stats show up anytime the '91 Lakers are used. I think it could be a safe bet, just as '09 stats show up anytime you play with a club in a 2K10 exhibition.

Yeah, it says "James Worthy, Conference finals vs Portland" and it lists his stats.
We are two months from release, so it doesn't matter if it's a Jordan challenge or a quick game, there's plenty of time to fix "mistakes". They might just be using that court as a place holder or whatever.

I see that Rose has excellent taste in camera angles.

That he does..

Yeah i agree with KyotoCarl...maybe it's just a place holder...maybe 2K hasn't even finished all courts yet.

I wonder if someone in marketing is freaking out in their cubicle about D. Rose letting that pic slip.

I agree that the Logo isn't that big of a deal as long as every thing else is done right. All though it would add to the overall presentation.

I doubt anybody is freaking out over the picture. It doesn't show anything Earth-shattering, all it shows us is a classic arena, a couple of classic players and a scoreboard.

I get what you're saying. I'm not saying that I don't want stuff to be as close to accurate as possible, but things at a certain point is nitpicking to me. Stadium entrances - sorry I don't notice it. The court and stuff I tend to get that view, wanting the court to mirror the actual courts from the early 90s, but not to the point of stadium entrances, that's where it's a bit of overkill, and isn't as essential to me as the gameplay being on point. I just think some of the "LeBron Headband" type stuff gets to the point of overkill, and I guess the stadium entrance thing fit into that category.

Sorry to go off topic, carry on.

Back on topic, agree w/ those who say TNT isn't essential to having great presentation - 2K10's presentation was top notch IMO, and if they improved on it that definitely excites me.

yea i know exactly what your saying. I understand that people want everything to be exact down to detail, and something such as centering a headband should be an easy fix, but there's a point between pointing out a problem and nitpicking. To me gameplay always comes first, if the gameplay is right then you can start nitpicking. When i use to sports games where the only way to distinguish players was the number on the jersey and the name underneath them so I laugh when people complain about minor problems.

On to the picture, I wouldn't completely overreact to the 'mistakes' in the screenshot. Based on the past couple of years 2ks early pictures don't fully represent the final product:

Thats one of the first screenshots for 2k9. If you look at harris's jersey you'll notice there are, what looks like, holes in the jersey. Im almost positive that the final version did not have any jerseys like that. The date of the picture was august 20 and the game came out october 7. Point being, things can definitely change between now and the games release.

What do you guys think about the court spacing/player size? I can't tell if it's been improved or not. Although player size looks a bit smaller which is what I wanted(many players in 2K10 were too bulky and when creating a big man, they were too big and took up way too much space!!).

The one thing that does look improved is the length/distance between the 3-point line and the halfcourt line. In 2K10, it should've been 5 feet longer.

It des seem like players are smaller, but that could be due to the angle.

They should make it so there are different variation of scoreboards...just to mix it up. So if you play a game in Chicago...you get a different scoreboard and layout than the one you play at NY for example. 5 or 6 variation would be cool. And i think it doesn't take much effort to change the variation....it's just a matter of weather they want to implement it or not.

If you mean like a different color palette for each team, then I'm behind you. It would really add to the watching a game experience 2k sports tries to provide.
