Hey, for those of you who are seeing a lack of fouls, be sure to change you Foul Sliders to "Simulation". It's under the Game Sliders/Fouls section. Just change it from "Default" to "Simulation" and you should see more realistic numbers.

Enjoy.

Damn is this game challenging....on Pro.

Very good game. But with one HUGE problem which is causing a lot of blowout losses for most people. The CPU's transition D is about ten times better then the user's teammates transition D. If The CPU misses a shot or has a turnover, they already have 2 or more guys ready to stop the fast break no matter what team the computer is. That's fine But if the User's mises a shot and the CPU is looking to fast break then there will almost always be only 1 teammate defender ready while the rest move at a slow pace to catch up. What's worse is that their seems to be nothing that we can do about it except don't miss a shot or turn th e ball over since limited crash boards does not seem to help.

Another problem that is only a personal gripe is that there is a lot less ball movement from teammates than in previous game. It's seems u have absolutely no choice but to call a play.

It makes complete sense if you ask me. You complete the Jordan Challenge, you get to use Jordan in the Be A Legend mode. It's just an incentive for someone who wants something to work towards.

I mean, hell, by that logic, why do we even have to play regular season games? Why can't we just play in the Finals every season?

It just gives you something challenging to work on man. Enjoy it... this game is well worth the extra playing time

comparing MJ create a legend to regular season/post season.... uhh... what

maybe they should add that to play association mode you have win 10 quick play games, or you unlock online games after you win a championship in the association... bottom line having to unlock game modes... especially a new game mode that you used to hype up the game is incredibly ******** and gimmicky. Keep unlocks only for shoes/jerseys/etc.

Totally disagree. I like it the way it is, gives users an even greater incentive to complete the challenges rather than just giving up if one seems too hard after a couple of tries.

I personally don't see the problem having to complete an awesome mode to unlock another awesome mode but that's just me....

I found I had to up the fouls sliders a little bit in my game to get more ft attempts. It wasn't horrible out of the box but is a bit more realistic after a slight tweak imo.

Is it just me or do the 86 Celtics be giving people the business ? Larry Bird & Danny Ainge be killing me with their passes. And Larry Bird be giving me the business with his spin moves and fades.

Had me saying damn, no wonder they won so many rings during the 80s. But yeah I agree with everybody else, the cpu get down on fast breaks fast as hell. And it really shows when you play against the Celtics or Lakers teams from the 80s. Those games be a give n go fest by the cpu.

I never been embarrassed by the cpu so many times in my life. I swear you make a mistake and the cpu will put you on the highlight reel.

Playing as Jordan though is just awesome.....to hear his name called is just wow.

Cool, thanks for the tip.

Yeah, the game is no joke on Pro/Sim. I lost my first game as the Knicks vs the Wizards. Neither team shot very well (38% for both), which was cool to see. I just had way too many turnovers and poor shot-selection to keep it close. Can't wait to play more and get better.

Lol, except this wasn't part of what they hyped. They hyped the Jordan Challenge, not being able to play as him through the career mode. In fact, more than one preview told us that you would unlock Jordan in career mode AFTER beating the challenges.

Again it's just added incentive, and never once were we mislead about this.

4th game:
MIAMI cpu @ NYK me:
AllStar- SIM. 10 min. qrts.

Lost 82 to 65. shot 35%. to 43% for them. 20 Fts and 10 FT attempts.

CPU was just a bit more effecient. I've never seen a game where both teams struggle a bit but they still win by 15. I love the variation I'm seeing so far. Lebron had about 5 dunks. Just a dominating effort with 24 points. The subtle way they are winning is impressive

I am in complete and utter awe of this game.

Are there some areas that can be cleaned up a bit with sliders and patches? You bet.

But I challenge you to name a more complete sports game than this one. Don't waste your time -- there isn't. The Show is outstanding, but 2K11 is just something special.

I'll have more detailed impressions later once I get more time with this, but I will say for the 4-5 hours I played today, it was the most fun I've had with a sports game. I'm about to post the post-game highlight reel from the first Jordan Challenge I just completed... I about shed tears of joy watching it the first time. In-cred-i-ble. Wow. Look for it in the media thread here in a bit.

I don't want to get the thread off on this particular tangent, but seeing the astronomical leap this series took from 2K10 to 2K11 really makes me look at EA and shake my head. That's all I'll say about that.

Never said it was misleading... just don't like the idea of having to unlock a game mode... i'm not even a fan of having to unlock jerseys and shoes... but i can understand those... now I'm frustrated cause I have to play 10 cheesy games to play a michael jordan career.

As a Pacers fan who grew up in Illinois during the 90s, I was incredibly excited to find out I could play with the GOAT on the Pacers, as I had to watch him crush our hopes practically every season.

And don't say they didn't hype the create a legend mode... lets not just flat out lie. The premier trailer first gameplay frame had Jordan fadeaway over Kobe.

And one of the things we're allowed to do is use a classic team in Association Mode

Lol! Well if you are, it's unfortunate that a 12 year old understands something that you just can't seem to.

But I'll gladly move on from this.

I've finally starting figuring this game out, and will be bumping back up to Pro soon. Letting the CPU auto run the plays really help in figuring out the different offenses.
