Extremely hard. There's no way to catch everything even with a QA team. If it was easy every game would ship glitch-free.

But on the other hand it's a shame to have a game that has freezing issues or glitches the first time you play it. that's inexcusable. Glitches should take awhile to come out and be hard to recreate (i.e. more random things.)

Re: Official NBA 2k11 Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

After a lot of playing over the weekend, only encountered 2 glitches, neither are game breakers.

One, and I posted an image of this on my twitter feed, but playing a Jordan challenge, the Bulls had 6 guys on the court for most of the first quarter. Now the 6th guy wasn't really there, you could run right through him and he never moved, just funny.

Two, the announcing got way behind in a game yesterday that I played. So far behind that I had scored, then they scored, then I had the ball again but they were just announcing my score from the first trip. It was odd but nothing major and only had it happen once.

I posted in the other thread about how a few minutes into the game the play call text doesn't show up anymore...anyone seen this? I let the CPU call my offensive plays automatically...but obviously I need to know what the play is so I can think a few passes ahead instead of just following the play vision. Really sucks I don't want to have to call my own plays every time down the court just so I know what my teammates are doing

I had my first my player freeze and crash. So I installed it to hard drive and I never save and exit a game. I learned that from 2k10. I'm on game 19 now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed nothing bad happens.

Anxious to hear what you encountered in:

NBA/College Hoops 2k7
NBA/College Hoops 2k8

No doubt they had problems... but nothing that was instantly apparent.

I don't remember glitches in Live 05 or 06, either, right off the bat.

Maybe I am forgetting, but those 4 games I put A LOT of time into and I didn't get a glitch in the beginning.

Type in any of the games you mentioned in Youtube, accompanied by the word "glitch"

Ok - let's define little glitch and big glitch

Little Glitch - something obscure that is hard to replicate and does not detract from the general flow and function of the game (e.g. a player's jersey disappearing for 1 seconds, a player's knee going through another player during a dunk animation, etc)

Big Glitch - Something changes the function of the game, or is too much of a distraction for people to play the game as they would normally (Duplicate players in My Player, when subbing while playing with crews online all the players names are the same, Carlos Arroyo has giant black arms for the full length of the game, etc)

The point that we're trying to make is - no other genre of games have the latter category (especially that can be found within the first few hours of playing the game). You will never see such egregious disregard for the quality of game in other titles. Here's examples of big glitches (made up) in MW2 that would correlate to the level of quality we see with 2k/Live games nowadays:

Modern Warfare 2

• When you pick M16 as a weapon, you start the game with a Shotgun
• You throw a grenade and when it bounces of the ground it projects itself 300ft up in the sky
• 1 out every 5 times, the Harrier jet won't kill any enemies, but instead will attempt to kill the player who called it in.
• When you play Capture the Flag, all the available perks have the same name "Commando"

This is the type of stuff that people let 2k slide on, but NEVER in a million years would Activision/IW release a game like this. I don't know when or why but sometime over the past 4-5 years it became acceptable release beta quality sports games on release day. No other genre does this. In fact, even though I don't play madden, I can't recall anyone complaining about a game that lacked polish (yes, the gameplay might suck, but that isn't a glitch).

And I don't want to hear the 1 year dev cycle excuse because live/2k didn't have this level of disregard when there were no patches available.

for me the text gets cut off at the top of my tv, i see the part of the box but no text, had to put defensive and offensive plays on auto as well

Re: Official NBA 2k11 Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

I don't get the sock thing cause remember those Mavericks-Heat videos? Jason Terry's and Eddie House's socks were fine and I remember thinking well, even if they don't fix the calf sleeve glitch, at least they fuxed one of the 2 sock issues lol. Now in the retail version, high socks turn black and white as the player moves -_- It kind of annoys me that they made sure Jordan's little falf sleeve was perfect but leave these eyesores be.

Dogg.... MW2 was probably the most glitched and hacked game of all-time .... Have you've ever seen a call of duty beta ???? Give feed-back not kick-back

Re: Official NBA 2k11 Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

I dont know IF its a problem with my controller...but I find the player I'm controlling "crab" dribbiling all by themselves. I lose control of my player.

Is this happening to anybody else?

Re: Official NBA 2k11 Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

This video was taken from a ps3 demo unit in my store last night. Two different copies of the game had this, and other full retail games that we display in this unit have had no issues. This particular video was during the Jordan challenge, but it played like this the entire night.

Edit: What you can't see for the most part is the lines coming from the players themselves. In other games played last night, players had lines coming from their bodies, while the huge black and gray lines where gone across the screen.
