Rebounding mechanics changed severely from 2K10 to 2K11, good thing ?

[Whoman]

I can´t be the only one noticing this, can i ? There is very little boxing out happening, basically everbody jumps as high as they can and the someone ends up with the ball, often resulting in rebounds in traffic that happen above ring level.

I thought 2K10 finally got it right, lots of rebounds below ring-level, good box-outs (but also the right amount of screw ups in that regard), so for me the demo is a big step backwards in that regard.

Anybody else feel that way ?

Yeah the verticals are ridiculous now, idk what happened. Live has this problem too.

I just assume it's the difficulty level. I hadn't really payed attention to boxing out but it appears they don't really box out. For the most part though the Lakers do out rebound. They're just so big..

The thing that sticks out like a sore thumb is how high everyone jumps for them. Everyone looks like D12 or Oden on the boards.

They've got some good rebound animations as always though. Saw fisher get one going out of bounds and caught it with one hand, sorta bobbled it before gaining control.

you see plenty of boxing out in 2k10 because they're usually bunched up in the middle...2k11 has way better spacing this time around which is why you dont see that many boxing out...

i like it this way...looks way more realistic

What needs to happen down the line is that 99 jumping for a 7' center shouldn't equal 99 jumping for a 5'10" PG. I mean, someone created a 7'6" center with 80 jumping and his hands were touching the back board on one of those athletic player put back rebound misses. Y'all know the one where they jump REALLY high with both hands straight up and their knees inexplicably bent?

And it should be that for dunks, rebounds, jumpballs, and blocks. In fact, I should nevers ee someone like Ilgaskus(sp?) jumping pretty much ever.

And players with length, height, and strength should be getting rebounds using pretty much those three things only. Only Jamario Moon, Josh Smith, LeBron, Dwight Howard, and young Alonzo Mourning get rebound by out jumping everyone else.

I just hope this "new mechanic" help undersized players like Rodman and Blair be dominant players on crashing the boards. This is my only gripe with this aspect, only bigs seem to be dominant or consistent at all.

I've been watching many youtube videos of the demo. Sometimes it seems that players jump too high for rebounds, but I did see players getting rebounds below the rim level.

Also, remember that 7' guys (like Gasol and Bynum) can get rebounds at ease WAY over the rim. I've watched a youtube video where some comments said that Gasol jumped too high for an offensive rebound, yet when I watched it again and again he didn't jump that high, though his arms went way over the rim because...well, he's tall. But it didn't seem exaggerated at all to me.

you can still box out besides you should be switching to attempt manual rebounding anyways right??? Anyways teh new mechanic works but player are jumping WAY to high for a simple rebound. I noticed this in the video with the nuggets with NENE

I havent seen videos or played the demo so ... is it as bad as the pictures taken from the competition ? ... are they jumping too high for rebounds only or for any instances (jumpshots, dunks, blocks, tippoffs) ? ... if so, it can be easily edited ... if it is just when rebounding only, then we might have a patch issue request ... unless, this apparently ackward jump helps undersized players to be dominant, then I can live with it.

i agree with you on one thing.the vertical in game is way to high,you can see bynum and perkins jump too high.but let's not forget that it's a demo and pro diffucult.you can still do box out( i do it pretty well).in 2k10 the cpu took way too many off rebs,because the mechanics weren't good enough.you could see your player jumping for the side to grab the reb,while the ball was high in the air leting the cpu grab the off reb,
i love the rebound mechanics this year.

Hell no, it's not a good thing. Box outs are not as effective as they were in 2K10.

From what Im seeing, its only in rebounds.

its a demo bro , you can easily box out yourself also but its not automatic anymore. you need to be in position
