NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Expanded Playcall System

[jr2424]

Re: New Insight: Expanded Playcall System

Can't really complain when it's coming the day after a key insight, with more Czar breakdowns coming each day from what I understand.

With the option to get the game for either 360 or PS3 I still see no reason why I'd put up with the expected online issues on PSN, even with the "Move" option.

Though with an entire insight dedicated to it, it must be more than a gimmick.

Curious to know how you're sure there will be "expected online issues on PSN"?

Re: New Insight: Expanded Playcall System

I can't wait to see my man Czar break things down with the Thunder. Excellent writeup Rob Jones. You know how to listen to the fans of the game, and integrate the right things. Definitely excited about what I've read.

Now I can't wait to see it in action.

Agreed man, it makes a huge difference.

The thunder cant be a co inky dink can it?


Now that the insight is out, lets move on to the meat and potatoes
if you will, the Gu de grau... yeah I know I spelled it wrong lol

Bring on the video

Re: New Insight: Expanded Playcall System

I want to see some SMOOTH catch and shoot situations with KD! Nothing more frustrating in 2k10 than making a great passing play, only to have it negated by terrible shot preparation on the catch.

Really just want to see KD's jumper in general, I'm sure it feels far better than his broken J last year.

*Pulls up for a wide open 3 with KD and misses terribly*

Huh?

Re: New Insight: Expanded Playcall System

yes but it probably won't be 40 unique plays unless that team has an expanded playbook. They have a lot of plays but not that many LOL.

For the Character Odom example I would have 1 post play for character and 3 plays for lamar. Or however you decide to work it out.

Ahaha. Yeah. Silly me. How can I not think of the Bench PF to have 3 plays for Lamar and 1 for a conventional PF. I can just pause the game and change the assigned plays anyways.

Thanks, Czar!

Another question, lol, from what I have understand from Ronnie's tweet:

RT @KrobifyHey @Ronnie2K, is it possible that we will see every NBA team gameplay by the October 5th?->@Da_Czar feature should get you close

Are you going to release bunch of videos for each team, as in like 1 or 2 teams each day or every other day? I know that's too much but hopefully... lol

Re: New Insight: Expanded Playcall System

Never liked the D-Pad play call system, and the lack of team/player specific play calling. Now I'll truly have a reason to call plays. This is a great improvement if it works as good advertised.

In general my online games last year were smooth and responsive on 360.

Tried playing it online on my buddies PS3 and it was brutal. It was moving at about 20 FPS. Attempted a few more games and though they weren't all that bad, it was no where near the same experience as playing on Xbox Live.

It's not so much a 2k thing, I just find PSN to be inferior. Some games are fine (Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, COD, etc.) but I've yet to play a sports game on PSN that felt good.

It could change this year, but I doubt it.

I didn't play 2k on 360 because most of my friends play on PS3 and the lag was/is brutal. I thought it was like that on both consoles. I play other games on PS3 (ton of battlefield) and never experience issues. Always just figured it was a 2k thing. Sorry for going off topic on this thread. Didn't mean to, just curious about the online. Thanks.

Re: New Insight: Expanded Playcall System

I think the last time I really ran plays was in 2K9...if I'm not mistaken. I'll probably get back to it this year, sim style all the way, baby!
