Re: I Played it

Maybe I'm crazy, but to expect a laundry list of answers to be met with specifics would be a bit much, no? I was thinking maybe some brief impressions and then maybe a video to go with it would be nice.

Exactly. I know everyone gets excited when folks out there announce that they got to play the game, but expecting answers from a laundry list of 20 questions seems kind of unreasonable. Especially given that the guy said he only got to play 1 quarter, and I suspect it was only a few minutes long at that.

On the other hand though, if you're going to announce to the the forums that you got to play the game, you should at least try to provide a little more details other than the controls were like 2k8 and the player momentum was cool. And I get that he's typing from an iphone and maybe he plans on divulging more details later, but I'd like to know how were the controls different from the last 2 versions? How did the player control feel? What about the momentum stood out? Thanks.

Re: I Played it

Surely there is some sort of accepted forum etiquette on a question cap per person. LOL ... YES I'm looking at my main man bearschicago

Guys I'm sure he is getting in as many 1 quarter games as possible to come back and give you some information. I believe he reported back on his experience last year as well. Someone did anyway.

Re: I Played it

Nice video. But it bugs me that it's still easy to get to the rim

Unless it's on arcade mode... So can you tell us what game style it was?

Re: I Played it

-Do jumpshots look different depending on how long you hold the shot stick or button?

-Any more types of fouls? Such as moving screens/pushing/tripping/hand-check/slapping/off-ball/offensive fouls where you clear your off arm/etc.

-Defense contests more realistc? Is body momentum/athleticism/wingspan taken into account now? Or is it still too easy to block jumpshots?

-Are post moves faster?

-Does AI CPU take a spot-up fadeaway?

-Is there still something like lock-on-d or is it finally removed?

-AI CPU utilize the stepback move?

-AI CPU try to dribble out of a double-team or always pass like in 2K10?

-Do offball defenders put a hand on their man when offensive players try to cut to the paint?

-Is lead pass realistic now? Is it either slow but accurate or fast but not as accurate(have to gather the ball).

-Can the AI CPU do canimation(maybe it's real-time) blocks?

-Is it still too easy to use turbo and dunk on 3 guys? Or is there finally more contact?

-Do AI CPU commit hard fouls when driving to the basket?

-After a made basket, is the SG still right next to the PG? Or is he with the rest of the guys?

-Violations added? Such as carrying/palming/double-dribble? Also when you try to do too many crossovers at once, do you lose the ball?

-Defensive Rotations improved? Help-the-helper added?

-What is the AI CPU recovery speed on defense? Usain Bolt style or more realistic now?

-Do the referees finally have whistles and actually use them?

-When AI CPU are making substitutions, will they finally appear/wait at the scorer's table?

-When a Full Time-Out is called, do the players sit on the bench or still stand?

-When subbed, do they drink Gatorade/use towels/etc?

-Is passing into the post much quicker now?

-Do the AI CPU front the post?

-Shots within 10-15 feet, are they still unrealistic looking hooks and one-handed flip shots are more realistic shots?

Thanks a ton my man!!

No offense man, but seriously? This list is massive even for someone that actually has the game. He's playing a demo at a convention. I wouldn't waste my time or energy with this many questions. Besides, it doesn't look like he's coming back to answer anyone.

Re: I Played it

Quick observation, hop step on the baseline by DWade looked fluid. Seems like if you mash on the turbo pushing it up court you'll lose the handle sometimes? Dunk by Haywood looked nice too.

Re: I Played it

I'm not one to complain about close ups in graphics, but the faces look off in comparison with the players' bodies. It looks like their faces have fake tan on them and then the bodies look normal in shade and color.

Re: I Played it

Guys, of you post videos, please ask someone what game style it was, so we know it. Because this can cause HUGE fuss here if we don't know what style it was.

Re: I Played it

Animations look much more fluid than last year! The game looks great and it looks like it plays great too!

Re: I Played it

My bad guys. I didn't know he was only going to play for an hour. I thought he was going to be playing the whole day the way he worded it.
