Hopefully there are some defensive improvements..

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

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.

I wonder if fake pass will work when you have a live dribble.

Re: IGN PREVIEW UP

Good article, but absolutely terrible images. Game doesn't look changed much.

That intro with the Heat starting 5 looks like a great presentation intro...nice touch.

I thought 10 was pretty, but a chore to play. If they fix the gameplay issues and the Franchise mode, I'll be a happy dude.

Total Control Passing, a feature that made its debut in NBA Live 10, is being brought to NBA 2K11. Simply hold the right shoulder button and you'll be presented with the typical icon passing prompts, then you'll need to either press or hold a player's button to get him the ball. Pressing it will pass it instantly while holding it will allow you to control that player manually until the button is released, at which the point the pass will be made.


Cheese move of the Year.

If you hold both triggers you'll instantly enter a post-up position. Players can use this anywhere on the hardwood, which means you'll be able to bring the ball up the court Gary Payton-style if you want.

I'm loving it, post up manually is back baby YES.

Put some Glove love in there too huh, 2k is cooler then the other side of the pillow.

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

I'm glad how polished he says the game is and how early this preview is. Still have a month and some till the game goes gold.

"Rest assured, if you were someone who hated the feeling of being out of control in last year's game, you shouldn't have that problem with NBA 2K11."

That's what I want to hear. Now I just hope this preview isn't some hype crap and what he's saying actually happens. You never can tell with previews these days.

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

sounds great that we actually have control of our players.

[statum71]

I hope the controls got easier and not more confusing. Flick this while pushing that, and trigger left right left up??????

Sounds like spending more time tryiny to figure out what in the world to do than going out executing beautiful moves on the fly.

Fingers crossed

You are aware that could manually control players off the ball since 2K8 right? I don't think it's ever been a major problem.

Plus, I'd expect the AI to be a lot more active in the passing lanes to prevent any kind of abuse.

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

Boy is this wait gonna be long

Not talking about waiting for the game, just stuff like

ah it looks like 2k10 stuff... well it IS

I mean the guy said its an "early build" and people are skipping over that part
just to say it looks like last years?

and Shadows come on man, you know the drill... they never give you the meat right in the beginning.

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

It's been available(off ball control) but my biggest gripe is the passing logic of the AI. There are times I set my guy in the post and he has the ball, I switch to the guy who dumped the ball to try to cut to the basket to see if theres a lane as soon as I begin to move they pass it back.

It's like I know what I want to do but it just won't let me. Also happens in My Player I try to cut but they give me the ball before I can even try. Offense doesn't have to revolve around you for every possession.
