NBA 2K11 Video: HD Demo Footage From Gamescom #2 (Gamersyde)

[Tha_Kid]

Gamersyde has posted a second NBA 2K11 HD video, also captured at 60fps.

Quite a few people asked us for more videos of NBA 2K11, so here is a new one, still at 60 fps, with maybe more to come if you ask nicely.

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo: HD Footage From Gamescom #2 (Gamersyde)

The CPU's offensive AI is out of this friggen world and it's only a demo. CH2K8 is the only other basketball game where the AI is so good that it actually makes me chuckle because they make so many heady, great basketball decisions. This vid looks very similar in that regard. I mean the CPU is wasting no time, not BS'ing, etc. Hitting the open man, attacking driving lanes, etc. The CPU's offense seriously looks real - it's damn near perfect.

Only bad thing was the block at the one minute mark, not even sure what happens there.

Yeah, that block was a bit odd. Wade's forward momentum suddenly disappeared

Also, I hope that sequence at the end with Miller and Haywood wasn't canned. Hopefully, Haywood had to have actually jumped (instead of being sucked into jumping), making Miller alter his shot in that manner.

That block and the animation with Dirk & Anthony (?) at :31 are prime examples of animations I despise in basketball games.

On a lighter note, next time I get in a run, i'm going to try that move Wade did (drive left, turnaround left hander) just to see if it gets off even once. You'd think that would get blocked every time.

True that man the AI is looking great in these vids!!

These users are killing me though. No playcalling and a lot of silly passes, you would think they would catch onto the fact that passing angles are important lol!

And even when he made a good play the one where he hit Marion in the corner for the open shot he still decides to pass it. And cross court I might add.

I think I'm done with these gamescom vids, I just want to see someone that understands a little bit about the game of basketball lol

did you guys notice that dirk nowitzki is the ONLY one on the mavericks wearing pure black shoes that look to be the generic shoe? I find that quite peculiar..

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo: HD Footage From Gamescom #2 (Gamersyde)

Damn that looks sweet. Everything is real smooth. One thing that I noticed in all the vids is when someone grabs an offensive rebound or has a dunk it doesn't look strong. It doesn't have that snap or something, I don't have the right word for it but, it doesn't flow like everything else does.

Anyone know what I'm trying to say here?

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo: HD Footage From Gamescom #2 (Gamersyde)

I liked the video, but a few things stood out (some already mentioned):

- LOVED all the off the ball movement at :30. That is what is going to make the Offensive AI so tough to defend
- Not too bugged by the Anthony/Dirk interaction. That seems like something Dirk would do: go straight up to defend, but not commit a foul
- I know (I think DaWolf) mentioned it in his long post about coach settings meaning something, so I'm hoping that's what happened at :50. Joel Anthony doesn't really crash the board, which he should be doing as a center. Even Bosh makes more of an attempt and that's after defending Dirk's shot
- The block shot on Wade is one of those canned animation type things that somewhat annoy me.
- That shot by Wade looked a little odd to go off with the left hand like he did. Not necessarily a bad move in that situation, I just wish he had gone up with his dominant hand there. Rolling to the right, yet going up with his left just looked weird.
- Loved the Mike Miller lay-up at the end. Very nice to see him alter his shot to make Haywood go by after the block attempt.
- Can we please stop the black shoes with white socks? I had to watch this video twice just because Dirk was annoying me with that

I liked their first video more, and just wish they would release all they have instead of this "if you ask nicely" stuff. Overall, this game looks so beautiful in motion and can't wait to see more like this

Ok that makes sense 2K has never included full plays in demo's anyway don't know why I thought otherwise.

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo: HD Footage From Gamescom #2 (Gamersyde)

I'm not one of "those" people that complained about high layups, but seeing a high layup on that particular one Miller did make the play seem more like a luck play to me.

And, I don't know, seems like once the ball bounces off the rim things slowed down. Not framerate wise, so to speak, just...I don't know.

Eh.

Still, this is as smooth as the Kool cigarette brand.

Edit: BTW, seeing luck plays in a video game ain't exactly a bad thing now that I think about it. Problem is how often will it happen?

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo: HD Footage From Gamescom #2 (Gamersyde)

Let's ask them for more 60fps vids, nicely.

And yes I know that Mike have said that they addressed this but I really hope 2K have already fixed those high banking shots. Every single play, we get to see those annoying shots.
