Right, but in both of these instances it is. There's no circle inside the Dallas logo meaning it is the size of the jumpball circle. There would have to be lines differentiating it from the logo if the logo was not the regulation size of the jumpball circle.

There are no lines showing this in the retail version of the game. If anything then, the logo is too big.

But again, it's a visual trick. The courts are modeled to scale.

Game looks Great! so far but one thing that stood out for me was when the lady was in the middle of giving her presentation she was interrupted by the anouncers yelling WOHHHHHHH!!!!! after Heywood dunks which is fine but when they are done she then should be able to continue with what she is there to report or not be able to interrupt her until she is finnished.

As someone already said you can only judge the court spacing when the user in on offense and it look fine then, but when he is on defense the AI keeps having to adjust to make up for his inability

Looks good...the crowd looks so realistic. I may have to get my hands on both of these NBA games this year. Although my last 2k game was 08.

Yea that's the arcade mode thankfully because it definitely looked like cheese. Can't wait to see how it runs at sim.

It was said that it was running default/sim which sounds weird because I thought the default was normal/pro

Yeah, I figured if you zoomed it out it would be fine. As long as those dimensions in the practice pic are in there, it shouldn't matter what we see, the room will be there to operate.

Well the bottom pic does have the gray/white lines inside the logo. Is that the PC version? If that's the case then it's fine and the logo is in fact bigger. Just can't see it on the 2K11 court.

Re: New 2k11 vid

If you've seen an NBA game in person you'll be shocked as to how small the court looks. When I went to my first game the first thing me and my cousin commented on was how small and crowded the court really is.

This is from one of their insights.

It's funny that it seems like none of you guys take the time to read anything. Either that or you dont know how to read, seeing as most of yall are reminding me of 3rd graders anyway.

If you cant read the quoted part and understand what is trying to be said, I guess their's no hope for you.

FYI, I have read every developer’s insight for the game (as hinted by me mentioning about 2K's promoting of the game) - particularly the one regarding defense. As I’ve stated, they have said little about defense in comparison to all other features within the game – basically no more that what was mention in that article. Which is all the more reason why it worries me about the lack of defense judging by what's presented in this physical demo, regardless of what's written in the developer's insights. If YOU prefer to look at the game with a blind eye through rose colored glasses, then so be it. This is MY opinion based off of what I’ve witness in the video clip - not off some off-branded insights that may or may not actually be concurrent with the final product. And being a fan of the series and seeing how the last two games have turned out, I have every right to that.

Anyway, back OT - judging by Ronnie’s twitter post, unfortunately, this is not casual mode.

Re: New 2k11 vid

disapointed...only improvement i see is maaybe dunks and animations...everything else pretty much looks the same to me.

We'll see.

Yes, PC.

It's not the court sizes. They shrunk the player sizes last year and that helped immensely.

It's the control that limits the feeling of spacing. Moves cover too much ground and the clunky control didn't help.

It should be much better this year, especially the plays. A lot of work was put into them.

Many of the camera angle have different levels of depth, that's why when you play from the nosebleed angle things look like they are sized very well. It's this level of depth that really screws up the perceived sizing of the courts.

It's not people are wrong... they "look" off, but the camera angle plays a big part of it.

Pared, the bottom pic is 2K9. And we all know 2K9 had very bad court spacing/player size.

For 2K10 they scaled it much better:

We got a ton of feedback about players being scaled inaccurately last year. Well, we made it a priority to have the players be better scaled to the court. You will notice that they seem more life-size compared to their surroundings and each other. This has improved the look of the gameplay, since now game reactions are more realistic.

The video, according to him, is NOT on sim mode:

The Gamescon demo is set as default gamesim. I have been trying to capture some footage for you all the past couple days at sim level.

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

Bears, I'm using it as an example of depth perception. Actually that is 2k10 PC.

Co-sign. I know Phil Jax has been wanting the league to expand the dimensions of the court for years since players are getting bigger and bigger.
