Im saddened by this BLOG post because all it does is make me think about how good COLLEGE HOOPS 2K11 would be...SMH!!!!!!

Great read, hope that all of this is well implemented in the game

Love the gamestyles. I actually suggested this feature not too long ago. I wonder if it was my suggestion that inspired it.

Anyway, the absolute most important thing is that when we search for opponents online, we need to be able to search other opponents who want to play simulation style and play in simulation style online. there also needs to be separate ranking lists for each play style...not just one ranking list for everyone.

Forget online play man this is all about AI not online sheesh

The core and SP game is and always should be the #1 priority first

I love how they tuned the FB's to work with hard breakers, ones that run semi hard, and ones that barely run

I tried to do that to nba live 10 last year changing the ratings to make their breaks run like that, but 2k actually programmed the game like this from the jump...

Thats pretty smart

This has the potential to be the nfl 2k5 of basketball.

Also its good to see someone finally give some love to the defensive side of the ball as well. Looks like the CPU will play the pick straight up or even play it then sag off.. making you have to make wise decisions... I love it

This Insight definitely makes up for last week's short one. Great stuff!!!

The new defensive and fastbreak logic sound great can't wait to see them in action this year.

I'm real excited about 2K this year they are really looking to address a lot of issues can't wait to try out the demo.
