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

Unfortunately, I'm with Da-Man. It looked terrible to me. With Jordan in the game, I thought this would be a done deal. But that video looked very shaky imo.

Hopefully there will be more encouraging signs as we get closer to the release date.

jeez where are you guys coming from? i know theres 43 pages to wade through but its been confirmed by Beluba and The Czar that this was a bad clip and in no means how the final product is going to look and play like....

Re: New 2k11 vid

That Brendon Haywood reach on Wade was terrible. You've got a 7'0" center running side by side with Wade, reaching across his body and knocking the ball away. That's not acceptable gameplay to me so I hope the 'sim' sliders address plays like that. I don't understand why the program the game to make attempting steals the foundation of defense.

That looks exactly like 2k10 when someone knocks the ball out of your hand it almost always goes back to the defense for some unknown reason. They've got to make that more of a 50/50 type of thing if they can't get it right visually.

On top of all that irregardless of casual or sim sliders steals look to be still cannimated. Brendon Haywood's steal attempt gives him a magical speed boost allowing him to catch up to Wade, even to the point of almost getting in front of him.

2k/VC has got to completely get rid of these cannimations because it's hurting the gameplay.

If you really look at it, it looks like Wade fumbled it where in 2k10 its always off the defender yet the defense gets the ball.

The passes looked great, though the pass and baseline defense looked awful. The Marion to Haywood play would have been beautiful if that wasn't an awful pass.

Considering the casual setting, the only thing I don't like so far is the replay right after the 1st dunk. I was hoping for less of those and more replays during stoppages. Was there a setting for that?

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

I'm not pleased by what I'm seeing in these videos - collisions are still terrible - player's arms going through another player's head when making a pass. first of all, the AI didn't pick a proper pass animation for the situation, and the defender was right on him, yet he allowed the passer to pass the ball right through him without tipping it.

Defenders overall look stupid. They are always out of position and they appear to have no awareness. There appears to be no real body contact on dunks, as I didn't see the dunkers or the defenders get bumped at all, when they should've slammed into eachother.

dribbling does not look improved much. Players still accelerate too slowly and cannot "explode" out of a standing position - instead, they slowly shuffle their feet for a few steps before they pick up speed like in 2k10. Also, when changing direction while dribbling, players still have that "hitch" where they stop moving to do a crossover and they completely lose their momentum/speed.


I know some of this will be improved on Sim gamestyle, but some of it is an animation/control/physics issue that cannot be fixed.

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

Figured it was PC. They're not displaying 360 or PS3 at Gamescom?

They're probably using the 360 controller which would bring up the 360 icons. Pared says PC so I'll take his word on it although it would be surprising if it was PC.

No, the image I posted was from the PC version, not the fact they are playing the PC version at Gamescom. They are playing a 360 demo.

Look everybody is not going to be pleased or they just gonna make up stuff because they play that other half *** basketball game. The real 2k fans know that this video shows much progress and that the game looks very good. You got one guy talking about the steal being a canned animations for steals. If you look at the video Haywood was using turbo, but was not locked into a set animation. There are physics in the game so there will be contact and thats exactly what happened. Haywood used turbo made contact with wade while trying to steal the ball. The end result was D-wade losing the ball. Lets not forget the game is on casual so there was no foul called. Guys really need a bigger TV or Monitor because i just zoomed in 160% and didn't any canned animations.

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

All this negativity...


And I'm still going to buy this game, and it's still going to be the best basketball game I've ever played! Hooray for me!

why does everyone keep saying the game is on casual?

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

Bro read, Beluba(Mike Wang) and Ronnie already confirmed this serval times already. You probably don't even know who they are.

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

OMG. You guys are going to start complaining about something that's NEVER been done in any video game now? Them coming straight off the bench has always been there. In the game(NBA2K, not the real NBA), they only go to the scorer's table in certain situations.

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

Is it just me, or does it look like the exact same game?
The lighting looks a little better, but the "improved presentation" looks exactly the same.
Id doesn't look like any gameplay improvements, but that is something that can be felt and not seen.

Its like Elite did so much work to improve the gameplay, that is something that will effect the awesomeness of the game, not Jordan. It just seems like 2k is putting out the same game with a few minor adjustments, and banking on Jordan to sell the game.

For the same reason why I won't buy Madden 11, its looking like that is going to be the case with 2k11. I refuse to buy the same game when I can just download updated rosters.

Yes, you can set action replays to 'occasional/often/never' in the Presentation options.
