another clip from gamescom!!

enjoy it !!

Interesting. I realize this is default mode so I'll let it pass:

-Baseline is still too powerful.

-Full court accurate pass.

-Dirk has a better shot now. Looks like the shot Ronnie Brewer(2K actually messed up between Corey and Ronnie Brewer's shot in 2K10)has in 2K10.

-Dirk attempted a hook in the mid-range area. Something he never does in real life. He does those off the wrong foot fadeaways he is known for.

Besides the last one, as Beluba pointed out, at the Simulation Game Style those things I mentioned will not be a problem.

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

It's not the difficulty alone. The sliders will affect it as well. The ball would not go around the opponent's head in one occasion without the AI knowing; instead it could be tipped and forced into a turnover. That's what the simulation gamestyle could help improve, if executed well.

I hope so !
Passes in 2k have bothered me for so long. Instead of reacting to a pass that's right by their heads ,defenders at times would transform into lawn chairs.....its like they freeze in a time warp or something and forget to react to a ball a inch away from their faces...

Ronnie 2K via twitter:

BTW when I said "gamesim" earlier, I obviously meant gamestyle. about 5 hours ago via web

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. about 6 hours ago via web

Then it is as I figured.. default pro which has always had weak defense and high shooting percentages. That makes me feel a little better but still that Joel Anthony pass defense, and the matador onball man defense by LeBron is something I wouldn't even want to see on casual rookie.

Please don't tell me that's dirk new shot...

Everything else looks good.

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

the passing bothers me a lot. kidd making that pass through the defender's head is troubling. changing the "gamestyle" isn't going to solve a problem like that. that's a physics and animation problem, not a gamestyle problem.

Looks like i'm not the only one concerned with the passing.
btw Is head tracking finally going to be implemented ?

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

Hmmm Dirk's jumpshot. Thoughts?

looks authentic, but in reality Dirk fades with someone that close to him.

Im more worried with the one handed shot that was thrown up only half way in the paint. Should have been a jumper.

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

What exactly was wrong with Dirks shot? We didn't see it finish but that form looked great.

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

Well, i looked at it again, it it doesn't look bad, it looks pretty good. I think it's a tad too slow.

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

Watch the sequence from 1:30 - 1:45. Focus on D-Wades defense the whole time. This is something we haven't seen in previous years.

Thats true. He even roams around. They just need to do something with the defense after the catch. LeBron and Joel looked like they were dodging their man.

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

Dirk's shot in 2K11 looks exactly like Ronnie Brewer's shot(supposed to be Corey Brewer's) in 2K10.

Some actually changed it to this. Honestly it's not too bad for Dirk.

That is the right shot to do at that point. There are too many guys/congestion around him to get off one of his fadeaways that he does. I've seen him put up something like that before, so it's not out the realm of possibilities.

Also, why did Ilgauskas come in RIGHT off the bench? Didn't even go check in at the scorer's table or anything

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

Because even the developers themselves plus a writer here at OS both said that the gameplay video is a poor demonstration of whats its like in 2k11.

IDK how much clearer it can get than that.

In that case they should make default casual and and sim default.

Yeah. Didn't see him take off his warmup either. Maybe he already did.

I've never seen Dirk shoot a hook.

Yea its really killing me because besides the fact that its generally unrealistic, the problem with them is that they appear so easy that if you miss it gives off the feeling of being cheated. It should be a contextual jumper that requires no timing, similar to the hook, just more realistic.
