You have a point. But since it's so important to so many people, they take advantage of it to the last drop. But I'm 100% sure that we'll have enough Insights and videos about gameplay. I'm 100% sure that the game got better in every area.

I was always thoroughly convinced that was a circumstantial hug. If you watch this clip at the 0:52 second mark you can see Randy running toward Toni Kukoc trying to grab the game ball as the clock ticked zero. Toni hands the ball to Jordan as Randy's still giving chase and they both hit the ground clutching the basketball together.

I always thought it was funny to watch Randy appear to try to steal the game ball only to just happen to end up hugging Michael Jordan. But now that I give it another look, maybe he was trying to get the game ball so he could give it to Jordan himself. . .or maybe he was just trying to steal it. A "I love you Mike. But seriously, give me the ball" situation.

For some reason, Randy wanted the ball. Maybe he didn't make enough money back then, and thought: "Hey, this ball will be worth something in a few years. I'd better get it!"

Re: NBA2K Hands On - IGN

Well said.

I actually want My Player to be more tougher. I liked the goals, but it should be much harder when you first start out as an unproven created rookie. I wish there was a way where we can do an Online Career in which me & maybe 10 others can come in with either created players or 2010 Draft Picks and play out each game during the season. As we battle to lead our teams to the NBA Finals, and battle for individual awards.

I like this

Piggybacking on that My Player suggestion, I'd like to see practices in the season in addition to drills. And these practices should matter in regards to playing time. Kind of weak how fast and easy it is to get a starting job... cracking the rotation should be hard for some guys, unless you are a first round pick.

That enhanced control insight gave some good info on defense. But we should really be happy that we're getting all this info. Past years at this time, we'd be lucky to have more than a trailer and a simple preview out.

Spoiler alert: If it happened in real life, it'll probably happen in the game. That's the idea.

Also, everyone on Lost died.

Re: NBA 2K11 Hands-On Preview - Playing As Michael Jordan, New Screenshots (IGN)

For starters, every single one of the challenges (which date from his rookie year to that "final" shot against Bryon Russell and the Jazz) features every player that you'd care about. Whether you're talking about Horace Grant on the Bulls, James Worthy and Magic on the Lakers or Karl Malone and John Stockton on the Jazz, they're all here. What's even more impressive is that they all have their signature moves and styles in the game

there are even special animations for embarrassing Jazz players (stripping Malone and breaking Bryon's ankle). In other words, if there's a moment from Jordan's career, some image that is etched into your memory, it'll be in NBA 2K11.

Not only will every jersey and stadium be authentic, but the 2K commentary team recorded custom dialogue to match each situation..... It's cool to hear Kevin Harlan talk about Jordan's feelings about playing against Hersey Hawkins and know that it actually came from MJ himself....

Authenticity.... Authenticity to the umpteenth degree in the bold... It sounds like they really nailed all things involving the G.O.A.T.

(yes, you can absolutely do the free throw line dunk in-game)

Uhh when keeping it "real" goes wrong . I'm sure casuals will love something like this especially if and when they pull it off and didn't know it was in the game. Still something I don't want to see, but I guess I have to give MJ the pistons treatment when I'm playing against him to make sure he can't even began to elevate.

Not only will every jersey and stadium be authentic, but the 2K commentary team recorded custom dialogue to match each situation. If you hop into the The Flu Game you'll hear them reference Mike's temperature and his performance in earlier games in the series. Not only that, but 2K also recently sat down with Jordan himself to get some of his thoughts on his opponents from way back when. It's cool to hear Kevin Harlan talk about Jordan's feelings about playing against Hersey Hawkins and know that it actually came from MJ himself.
