Great stuff! Glad Mike's bringing back some of the ideas with him. I'm so happy to hear a pass fake is in the game. That's gonna make for some sick fast breaks and sequences. Rondo's gonna be ridiculous.

For those complaining about graphics, wait till you see the game in motion. Screenshots rarely do the game justice. That being said, there are some things I am personally pleased with.

1. Breaking out of physical and dribble animations
2. More responsive and detailed isomotion controls(It sounds like moves such as the euro-step are controllable as opposed to random based on a layup package)
3. The return of manual post up, and the ability to do so anywhere on the court
4. Enhanced passing and off-ball options
5. More intuitive play calling options
6. Enhanced collision engine, including in-air collisions

Pretty happy with with the info thusfar.

Re: IGN PREVIEW UP

It sounds all good, but then again, it is 2K we're talking about.

Spin moves are pulled off how you'd expect, but in NBA 2K11 the stars of the game make better use of them than ever before.

Um, sure hope not. 2K9...

Re: IGN PREVIEW UP

Hearing how players cut with urgency is a plus. But still no word about pull up jumpers. Or I should just figure players like Chris Paul will get a shot where they actually jump.

Total passing control's a nice import from Live. No sense in people acting like that's committing some kind of crime. It's an excellent basketball gameplay feature.

Re: NBA 2K11 Preview and New Screenshots (IGN)

Solid info. My favorite excerpt came when explaining certain button alterations during certain dunks and can initiate a user controlled rim hang. I like the sound of that.

Re: NBA 2K11 Preview and New Screenshots (IGN)

Only thing I'm hoping for now after reading that preview is

1.Better Color Palette Orando's Blue to light and Philly's Red Mainly
2.Higher Resolution when zoomed out
3.Fix some Courts(Spurs floor hurts my eyes) and some of the Logos are too small
4.Not allowing a player to cut easily which cuts down on passing in the paint
5.In the paint defense
6.More CPU blocking
7.Smarter A.I.
8.Pull up Jumpers and Shooting coming off of screens
9.Crowd noise,Atmosphere(like Live 10's but expanded)

Re: NBA 2K11 Preview and New Screenshots (IGN)

Finally we have actual controllable player movement, we are gonna be able to do the cone minigame now.

Plus:

Manual Post up
Fake passes
More plays
TCPassing
Sense of urgency cuts.


This thing is looking to be pretty pretty pretty good.

Re: NBA 2K11 Preview and New Screenshots (IGN)

What about defence? I'd like to know if they've addressed some of the defensive issues that have plagued the series for several years now.

Re: NBA 2K11 Preview and New Screenshots (IGN)

i wish there was a button we could tap to get some general player movement. sorta like this:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OgIVgQltWy8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OgIVgQltWy8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>


the new passing options should help though. i'm also glad to hear that we have control over posting up again

NBA 2K11 looks great again this year ... with the improved gameplay, presentation and the new dribbling ... looks great..

Re: NBA 2K11 Preview and New Screenshots (IGN)

Still waiting to hear if the actual way playcalling works has been fixed, i.e. how you execute the play called.
