NBA 2K11 Video: From the Demo at Gamescom

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

OMG. You guys are going to start complaining about something that's NEVER been done in any video game now? Them coming straight off the bench has always been there. In the game(NBA2K, not the real NBA), they only go to the scorer's table in certain situations.

they only go to the scorers table if you manually sub players...i guess the complaint is why not let cpu controlled sub show the players go to the scorers table (which i agree)

why does everyone keep saying the game is on casual?

Its not on casual. Ronnie 2K confirmed it is on the default gamerstyle.

Default Gamerstyle per Mike Wang in the "Making a Smarter Game" dev insight is as follows:

------Default: Kind of a hyper-realism. Shooting %’s will be slightly higher than real life, there will be fewer fouls, slightly more dunks, more and 1’s, etc. “Let ‘em play hoops” so to speak.--------

In addition to the default gamerstyle, the game is likely on default settings. Usually for 2K that means the level is on Pro, or whatever level is equivalent to Pro.

Is it just me, or does it look like the exact same game?
The lighting looks a little better, but the "improved presentation" looks exactly the same.
Id doesn't look like any gameplay improvements, but that is something that can be felt and not seen.

Its like Elite did so much work to improve the gameplay, that is something that will effect the awesomeness of the game, not Jordan. It just seems like 2k is putting out the same game with a few minor adjustments, and banking on Jordan to sell the game.

For the same reason why I won't buy Madden 11, its looking like that is going to be the case with 2k11. I refuse to buy the same game when I can just download updated rosters.

its just you

Just last year at this time most were viewing the interruptible commentary as revolutionary in terms of how it flowed with the action occurring in the game. I think it doesn't get the credit it deserves and adds immensely to the liveliness of feeling like it's a real telecast. Perhaps they could tweak it/tone down the reactions some at times, but I feel it's extremely well done and something to marvel at from a technology standpoint

Agree. I'll go a step further in that the game doesn't get credit for the steps it takes to get closer to real as it stands. The fact that as of this moment, people are complaining about the intricacies of Dirk's shot in certain situations amazes me. The level of detail this game pays attention to is pretty high. But once you crack a door, people want you to kick it in I guess. The commentary, signature system, and presentation as a whole are perfect examples where 2K outside all other sports games (in MY opinion), but still doesn't get the credit it deserves.

I agree it's a shortcoming. Maybe the AI doesn't run sub logic until the dead ball happens. It would make sense. But, again, I agree it's a shortcoming and I'd bet they are aware of it. But it's always been there and there are bigger fish to fry. It's only a slight annoyance, as is the interrupted commentary on big dunks. I'm just saying, don't paint this as some sign of incompetence as some people like to do.

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

jeez where are you guys coming from? i know theres 43 pages to wade through but its been confirmed by Beluba and The Czar that this was a bad clip and in no means how the final product is going to look and play like....

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

WOW, almost half a K of posts in this thread (barely even a day old) for a vid like this ? Not even the first full length 2K11 trailer got this many replies. I had to sift through the posts to find out the information that really mattered, which is this isn't on the sim setting. Now I can almost completely dismiss this video because I will not be bothered with any other settings besides simulation mixed with superstar & upward.

Those dunks were scary at first tho :o.

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

Mmmmaybe because it?

the gamescom demo is on "default", not "casual"

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

Yes, you can set action replays to 'occasional/often/never' in the Presentation options.

So, Action Replays are the replays that are shown right after the play happens? And that setting won't stop stoppage replays? If so, cool!

I tend to adjust these settings before my first game, so I probably haven't looked there in almost a year. Thanks!

it's just you

how can you even know if either game has done much work to improve their gameplay if you haven't played them yet or what's even worse haven't seen any high quality 5 on 5 gameplay

seriously..

I don't understand the point of comments like these. What Beluba and Czar stated isn't relevant to this particular video which people are discussing.

If they made a lot of changes and this is an old build that's great. When the demo/full version drops or new video leaks we can comment on that. Right now we can only comment on what we see.

Either way default and casual are not SIM like people were thinking the demo was on.
