And I don't think there's a starting 5 that can beat shaq,duncan,tmac,kobe,iverson if they played right....mostly because everyone in this era built their game on those of past eras,mostly the past era...the games are gonna be close I can tell you that...'90s vs.'00s,can't go wrong whatever you choose...hakeem,barkley,pippen,jordan,and isiah...idk it'll be real fun to go at it

Hmm, I don't see the MotionPlus logo on the Wii version. Does that mean they took that functionality away this year? It didn't work very well in NBA 2K10 Wii, but since the PS3 version will have Move functionality, seems strange to me.

Whats funny Ive been using the 2Kshare feature and downloading some classic rosters, had the 96Bulls vs 85Lakers, man I had some great games. This is a must for NBA2K11 to have classic teams, especially the rest of the Jordan era classic teams. Forget that all time 80's90's etc. 2K please give us the 90's Bulls, 90'sKnicks, 90'sPacers, 90's Supersonics, 89Pistons, 91Lakers, etc. Man I can't wait for this game.

It's really surprising to me how many people want to play with old teams. Of all the things that people like to call gimmicks, having the old players in the game at all always felt like a gimmick to me, and the moment I started playing with any of the old all star teams is usually a sign that I'm about to stop playing that year's NBA game.

I never really felt that way. I used to play some NBA game on the Genesis and you could enter a player's name like, "Larry Bird" and the game would generate his likeness for you with all appropriate skills. I forget what game that was, but my brother-in-law and I had a lot of fun building teams and punching in former players to see if the game represented them.

I think you can have both current and former players in there and have fun with it.

That makes sense. But you've got to remember... nostalgia is one of the most powerful emotions / phenomenons. Is it a ploy to sell more units? Possibly, but isn't that part of what they're trying to achieve? As long as they didn't spend so much time on classic rosters that the gameplay suffers, I'm loving the idea of playing with the oldies.

Plus it's just fun as a fan of the game / league... it's a bit of a history lesson for the younger guys. And like an earlier post said... for us young twenty somethings, playing with the 00's teams is going to be a blast .

Im sorry but I don't feel like its a gimmick at all. For one alot of the young guys on the forum simply don't know or understand how the NBA used to be with its players and teams. Alot of guys in the league now wouldn't be able to score on the regular against the types of defenses the league used to have. Then if your going to put Jordan in the game, heck have the rest of his era's rival teams in the game for fun and most of all matchups. Alot of people for some odd reason think Kobe or Lebron is better than MJ, so in NBA2K11 you can use your imagination and have the 93 Bulls vs 2010 Lakers or Bulls vs 2010Cavs. Or you may want to see how the current Celtics or Lakers team would match up against Larry Bird's or Magic's Celtic and Laker teams.

This is a great feature to have in a game, in any sports people will always compare past players/teams to current players/teams. Im not a big fan of playing with the 90's or 80's or 70's allstar teams in the 2K games, but give me the 92Knicks or the 91Bulls and let me match them up against another classic team or current team, then im going to have some fun. NFL2K5 also had this feature and it was great!

Re: 2K Sports Reveals Greatest Cover of All Time for NBA 2K11 (Press Release)

Well now that you have LBJ, Wade and Bosh on one team..they could always do that for the cover .

And personally, I do not like the cover, when I first heard about this on another forum, others and I too thought it was just somebody playing around with a cover template. It just isn't sharpened enough nor very creative. But...who cares about the cover. I just can't wait for the game, the last trailer made it seem like it is a lot more physical and the paint d is better.

Re: NBA2K11 COVER

As others, I think it could do without the "Greatest of All-Time".. still a good cover though. Seems kind of plain though, don't you think?

[southkak]

like the cover just wish the had his signature across the lower portion. that would give it a more sense of approval from jordan, but still a great cover without it. hope it feels like a new experience for 2k fans like myself.
