NBA 2K11 Video: From the Demo at Gamescom

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: From the Demo at Gamescom

Only a 2min video so needs to be taken into context (and of course won't be by some here). Still a lot to like:

+ Presentation looks like it'll be crazy. Love the crowds/peripheral action occurring
+ Love the vibrant/rich colors; can't wait to see the Jordan-era teams
+ Animations seem to flow/interact better
- Didn't look at the court spacing vid, and may not have noticed it if it weren't pointed out. But would like to have that problem resolved once and for all if it's really an issue

Overall really liked what I saw; game is shaping up to be an all-timer

From Ronnie2K:

BTW when I said "gamesim" earlier, I obviously meant gamestyle.

So it should confirm that it's on casual, right?

Gameplay videos are a lot more informative than what devlopers write.

Not when you don't know the settings played.

That is not really a good comparison with all the video out there could you not find one of a Dallas game there court Logo could be alot bigger than Boston.

If you zoom in the Boston pic to that of the Mavs, the length/distance between the halfcourt-3pointer will look even more wide.

then just take a look at the player size relative to the space in between the 3 pt line and the half court line, makes it a little more obvious it's WAAAY off.

Thank the freakin' heavens someone said it.

The angle is different as well.

But what would a sports game release be without a little drama?

Who's the big, number 33 for Dallas and why was he able to stay with D-Wade and cause a turnover?

Good vid, but i will nitpick. I want a perfect basketball sim. 1. Floor spacing seems to be worse. 2. Too many dunks. Hopefully it wasnt set to simulation gametyle. 3. Some of the animations looks weird. One of J-Kidds passes looked weird and it seemed that his arm went through a Heat player. Also when Marion dunked Lebrons block attempt looked weird. 4. Marions cross court pass to Haywood shouldve been intercepted by Joel Anthony. Maybe this is due to the gamestyle also. Hopefully these problems can be fixed prior to game release.

Also, imo that 2k camera is zoomed in a heck of a lot more than that celtics cam to be honest.

The circle is regulation size and consistent, it's a rule. The eight players not involved in the jumpball are not going to be further away from the tip on some courts than others.

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: From the Demo at Gamescom

oh great.. every video that comes out the first excuse will be "but.. but.. it was on casual"

anyways... game looks amazing. this game would be perfect if 2k knew how to fix this court spacing issue. Live 10's court spacing with everything else 2k would be so good. I don't see how it's so hard for them to make the court bigger but whatever...

when the Heat turned it over I was sayin in my head "nooooo!!" cuz I wanted to see the new looked Heat more than the same ol Mavs. smh.. and a jumper would've been nice.

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: From the Demo at Gamescom

And pause it right after the tip off as well when Rondo is at the right side of the jump-ball circle and Rose at the left side. Look at how small they look compared to the 2K11 vid. The court is too short and the players are much too big. Kidd in 2K11 is bigger than Big Baby IRL.

Combined that with the hyper-close out/recovery speed that's been in 2K forever and it's going to be another meh year for half-court execution in 2K apparently. I don't want to nit-pick but this is the ONE huge thing in 2K that has always bothered the hell out of me and it's never been corrected. If they ever got this right I swear I'd never stop playing 2K.

Those are two completely different views, the 2k version is so much more zoomed in. The real life version is zoomed out.I can guarantee you, you can quote me if I'm wrong. Buy the retail, zoom it out, and you will be satisfied.

looks exactly like 2k10

You cant make a comparison because the camera is a lot closer in 2k11. At best you can measure with body lengths. When I do that its pretty accurate. Kidd is and Rondo are both proportioned to the center court logo.
