NBA 2K11 First Impressions (Gameinformer)
Gameinformer has posted their first impressions of NBA 2K11.
"With new player models and completely retooled player animation systems, the on-court movement already look much smoother than they did in NBA 2K10. Animations blend together better, and players are no longer locked into their animations and rendered helpless until the move runs its course. If you're spinning toward the basket and decide to change your course, you can now break out of the animation and reverse your move or get off that delicately timed shot just outside the reach of your defender.

New control scheme and not getting locked into animations? Sounds good but why so secretive about the new control scheme? Waiting to see how much can be taken from Elite 11? Lol. Just jokin'...not really. Only half joking. I'm pretty sure they haven't finalized how the new control scheme will work especially with the "new level of control". To be honest, I think 2K is nervous about what EA has been doing and decided to actually show off NBA2K11 at E3, for once...Oh, shoot. There is another article here about the death of isomotion - THANK GOD!!! That crap was crap.Just cuz you pour syrup on ish....Comment

I'm not so sure about being able to break out of any animation. It sounds good on paper but.....I'll just wait till I see footage and the demo to judge that.Comment

Nope, there IS pressure, my dude. Don't get that twisted. Mike Wang knows whussup and is showing them the way. 2K KNOWS that iso-shot stick crap was non-sense and when MW went to EA and helped create that great control scheme, MW KNEW he had to scrap that iso-bull when he went back to them. Hopefully, shot stick will be gone, too.Just cuz you pour syrup on ish....Comment

I would not call that being pressured. I would say thats 2k trying to make their game the best. NBA Elites going to need strong improvement from last year.Comment
