NBA 2K11 Video: From the Demo at Gamescom

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

Good to hear. We've found with everyone who's tried the game this year that it really starts to open up and become more enjoyable to them as they begin to understand the new controls and nuances of the game. There actually is a bit of a learning curve this year coming from 2K10 as a lot has been added in terms of control. Glad people were able to pick it up and play and have a good time right away.

You have to make another video like last year to showcase the different types of shots. The one pushing the right stick in the opposite direction while moving is just too awesome.

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

For me, that was the BEST part of the game. Momentum shots in all directions looked and felt awesome. better than the regular jumpers which didnt feel as smooth tbh

This is really great news. This is one of the things that I always criticized 2k for. IMO it was the "other" games strongest feature, and really made the game feel more fun. This can only mean great things for 2k...especially since 2k does so many other things right. Momentum jumpshots..this is a KEY thing for me. Do you know if they can only be done with the right stick, or can they be done with the button?

I am very interested to see how lead passing is handled using their 'sim' sliders. Lead passing has been way over powered since 2k8.

That was the first thing I tried out. I was so happy to see that you are able to pull of the the momentum shots with the button

Agreed, you could zip back a guy 10 feet who was running in the opposite direction. Looked terrible.

From what I can see the players have more wieght and momentum to them (they seem to have to gather more before stopping or changing direction), so hopefully that helps balance it a bit.

Couldn't be much happier reading this..Thanks man. Jumpshooting might actually be fun this year! Might just pre-order this now. Surprised 2k isn't pushing this a little more as far as marketing. I know alot of people who really wanted this in 2k11.

Game looked great in vid number 6 imo..

I liked everything except a bit of mario running at the begining with Chandler and the Layup high off the backboard by Chalmers at the end.

The dribbling sequence by LBJ to avoid the swarming D was nice.

Oh and there is a total new way of double teaming in the game. You can select the player who comes for help. I didnt know what I could do next (there was a new icon over the players) - so i guess more options with that.

Video 8 should be up in a minute - I really have to go to sleep now

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

Momentum shots are officially in (for me, someone saying they're in is meaningless until I see it).

Yeah that was one area where people that played Live had a tough time describing what it was. http://www.2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=261113

funny thread of people trying to explain it

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

This game looks amazing to me all things considered. I love the new shots for Wade, Bosh, Haslem, Lebron and Dirk... All the faces look really cleaned up along with the body types, momentum shots are lovely, foot planting is apparent and the computer AI even on that default level seems more intelligent. The more I see, the better it looks. I can see myself speeding up the game a touch but that's about it(besides sim/HOF of course).

I could be partial because I'm a Heat fan too...lol

You've done plenty man, we appreciate this. Thanks.

Hey Mike in NBA 2K11 can we split the double teams?

For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODILU...eature=related

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

Not feeling the pumpfakes at all. Of course it's going to be more of an eyesore when a guy sits there and does 5 in a row, but nonetheless it's just stiff and ugly.

They are too hunched over and use way too much arm movement. If the rest of the body raised up as well with the fake it would look a lot better.

Hopefully they can tweak this before release.

EDIT: It also seems that everybody has the same pumpfake animation....odd.

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

Brendan Haywood w/ turbo still should not be even close to D Wade. I don't wanna be playing as a rookie Jordan and have Robert Parish chasing me down poking the ball away LOL. Is there a speed threshold setting like NCAA football or Madden? That'd be an idea

He should if Wade isnt full speed.

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

Video number 8 is PS3 and has LESS camera men. Indicative of the final product??

I'm a PS3 owner and read that 2K10 had less camera men than 360. Was that ever confirmed??
