This sounds great, this game gets better and better each week. Can't wait to see the game in motion. If the game plays/controls as expected then this game might not leave my xbox. The only thing that I don't like so far is the player models. NBA Elite has a better more authentic look to their players, imo.Comment

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Making a Smarter Game
Wow the crowd look really good. But hope that is not a playoff game. Please show a pic where we can clearly see a difference in a reg. season crowd/court vs. Playoff crowd/court.
Btw SimBaller, will there will be a future insight containing details about a halftime/weekly show in Association? (ala CH2K8/NFL 2K5)Last edited by convince; 08-07-2010, 02:03 PM.GT Agent August

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Making a Smarter Game
Simply put...WOW!!
So many great things in this blog, but the two biggest for me were the fact they have separate game settings for casual, the casual hardcore(default), and the hardcore(simulation) fan. I hope other games are taking note of this.
The other is the end of game AI. It seems that seems to be the one thing that has plagued basketball games for the longest time, is how the cpu handles the end of close games.
My birthday is October 5th...man what a great present. Thanks 2k.
I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.
I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Making a Smarter Game
Hey SimBaller...love what I'm hearing and reading on this year's game. Haven't been this siked for a bball game since...well, ever I think. Hope you guys let people wear with the half calf sleeve with socks so people will quit complaining about it everytime you guys post a pic (apparently this is a big deal) and maybe include the elbow pad thats attached to most arm sleeves now and the addidas sleeve dwight howard wears (hate to be the "dress up guy"). But frankly thats all i mention at the moment cuz it sounds like you guys have everything else clicking. Great job. Oh, two more words...PLAYOFF ATMOSPHERE

This insight doesn't mention online play, but this will obviously effect online because this should help and improve some nagging gameplay issues. Plus even though your playing against a human player, this still effects the other 8 (4 players on each team) AI controlled players on the team; unless you are talking about team play.
One thing I hated about last years game on defense was that I never felt like my team was going to be in good position to make the play, I felt that I would have to swith players and try to move them into position myself. That simply was too hard to do because defenders couldn't move to the right spot fast enough. They also mentioned that man to man defensive is improved, including shading to the baseline and cutting off players. If this works as good as it sounds then defending should be a lot better, and make for a more realistic game.
The offensive adjustments sound like they will help out spacing and also off ball movement, which is something that really bothered me last year. Nothings more annoying on offense to see players standing around, and players not reacting to whats going on on the court. I hated when I would have no one to pass the ball to because they just stayed in one spot. If you drive to the basketball players should move and look to be open for a pass, whether they are on the perimeter or in the paint. It sounds as though they have worked on this and i cant wait to see how much is has improved.
Again these don't directly effect online but they change the actual gameplay, which will make for a better game, both online and offline. Every week I see people who seem unsatisfied with the developer insights because they don't say anything about online. Just be patient and wait until they have the insight for online, they will eventually talk about everything they have done online, they are just focusing on the gameplay aspect first, because that is the most important part of the game. You need to make sure you have a good, solid game to play online before you can address the online aspect of the game. Its only early August just have patience.Comment

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insight "Making a Smarter Game"
LOL... look at Dwight Howard's face on that pic!.... LMAO! he looks like "WHOWHOOWHOO, HOMIE, GASOL JUST JUMPED OVER YOU!"
great read on the additions... agreed that the tendency need to ACTUALLY work for this to truly be praise worthy. i most excited about the spacing & transition revamping. I ALWAYS ended games with like 4 fast break point unless i threw alleys all dayComment

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Making a Smarter Game
Lol at your avatar....
the 'man crush' had me lol'ing.
One thing i really hope they fix is the decision process for who doubles when you are trying to double down on a low post player. Say you are playing the Celtics and you want to double KG on the block because he is killing you. You hit the double team button and your team chooses to leave Ray Allen WIDE open to come for the double rather than to leave someone like Rondo or Perkins who couldn't hit a jumper to save their life.
Seriously though it seems they have true hoop fans working on this game which means it is in good hands and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm still playing 2k10 to this day and enjoying it (the longest i have played a basketball game since inside drive) so i can only look forward with hope for what these guys have in store of 2k11.

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Making a Smarter Game
I'm hoping players actually move their feet on defense this time instead of sliding...
like players would slide from side to side in their stance..no shuffling of the feetTom Brady :" We're only going to score 17 points? ha ha ha"
