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

It will be funny if they don't have them for online...lol

When will all sports game developers see the light that online gaming is the future! The days of playing endless seasons of franchise mode against the robotic CPU are becoming relics of the past. They better make those features avaialable online!...lol.

Good preview although like most people here, I would prefer a preview about collision and defense and how hard will it be to lead pass.

+1 I want 2K to make defense a top priority.

They usually don't have anything really stable until about a month or 2 before release.

Or probably even after considering 2K's rep lol..

Good thing, a patch free year we hope?

Please, I want a playable game out of the box. If there will be a patch I hope its just minor and not like "my teamates dont wanna play D cause they are not making $20 dollars a year and they gotta feed their family" patch fix. Like how live 10 was said to be perfect out of the box....

Please please please do a dev insight dedicated to defense cause we really dont need too much moves to score in 2k10 because defense is so limited to the point that learning other moves is not necessary to score with Eduardo Najera.

That was a great read and sounds like they did alot of work on gameplay. Love the parts on playcalling and urgency of cuts. Like many have said, I hope they put that same kind of urgency of cuts/movement into the defensive players as well such as chasing players off screens, etc.

Screens look good for the most part and it's obvious from that heat screenshot that they fixed Wade's mug. Would have loved to see a non blurred out Melo, Pierce, and David Lee screenshot to see if they have improved as well.

In 2K10 if I wanted to, I could score with any player every time down the floor. No matter the difficulty or sliders.

But I don't want to do that because it's boring and not sim at all. I just want a 2K NBA game that rewards sim style instead of cheese style.

I also hope there is a Dev Insight totally focused on defense and how it has improved. I'd like to see more fouls: illegal screens/pushing/holding/hand-check/away from the ball fouls/double fouls/offensive fouls when you clear out the defender with your off-arm.

I'd also like to see carrying/palming/double dribble violations being added. This would be useful when you try to do too many crossovers at once.

In other words, every action should have a reaction. Or to put it in basketball terms every offensive move can be countered with a defensive move.

Look guys

Can we please focus on the topic at hand

Lets not turn every topic into 2k vs ea

or another wishlist thread.. it clutters threads and takes them off topic

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

Good for the additions.

Some of the things were already in the game last year though like mid air collisions. It's how well they were implemented that wasn't really discussed.

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

As long as we are getting more control, I'd also like how long you press the shot stick to affect how long your player jumps for the jumpshot. If you quick release to beat the buzzer etc I'd like your player to fling the ball a bit more instead of having the same animation either way

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

More user control is good, but where is defense thing in this preview? Off the Ball Control taken from Live 10 is gonna killing this game.

When you are good at OBC, you can dominate the game in the paint.

No improving defense logic plus OBC = disaster.

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

If OBC control didnt kill previous 2ks nor did it kill Live, I highly doubt its going to kill 2k11

I wish the guys here would spend more time discussing what was said rather than what wasnt covered yet

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

I'm probably the only one here who doesn't like that Euro Step. First, I don't think it's that common in the NBA, it's not like it's a must for every player. How many players really use it every game?
And also, it's a cheesy move that might be used by the CPU, just like that hop-step layup in 2K6. Do you guys remember that move? The CPU would perform it at will, while for us it was automatic with no control over it. Now that we have control over that new move, if you play against someone he/she will probably do it every second posession. I hope 2K did to it what EA did to the hop-step in Live 2005, after it was a cheesy move in Live 2004. I just don't want it to succeed every time, I really hope the defense can fight this move.

I really really hope there's a tendency slider for the Euro-Step. I'll probably set it very low for the CPU.

Who says the defense logic hasn't been improved? IGN didn't have the final build so we have no idea.

Jumping to conclusions seems to be a fad on these forums.

Good preview. I'm excited. Graphics look good, I'm not a graphics nut and 2k10 had great graphics IMO. Gameplay changes sound good. Can't wait to get my hands on the demo.
