NBA 2K11 Video: Team Introduction and Gameplay, From Gamescom Demo (Xboxworldch)

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Team Introduction and Gameplay, From Gamescom Demo (Xboxworldch)

Honestly i don't know how anyone who even remotely enjoyed nba 2k10 can't be totally hyped by that vid.

The single biggest thing for me was how the AI controlled Heat were willing to push the ball up court quickly and take advantage of mismatches and opportunities. All too often in nba 2k10 you would often know which play the AI was trying to run and could predict the next pass. It looks like hopefully those days are long gone.

The presentation is also by far the best we have ever seen in an nba game and i really loved the fact that the user controlled Mavs were being punished for bass passes and drives and in just about every vid i have seen the cpu controlled team has 'won' the quarter. I am really hoping for a challenging game that feels like it can beat me through smart play, mismatches and due to my errors rather than relying on stat boost's, comeback AI and the like.

Bring on 2k11!!!!

I'm hyped. The graphics are smoother and you can see the improved lighting. A+ on the presentation and and graphic interface. I think I read something about a former TNT producer being a consultant and his input really paid off. The 5 second countdown clock is also a nice touch.

I like how dirk did the fall to the ground flop when he came down off his jumper, that was pretty sweet.

The little things I love about 2K11 that were not in 2K10:

-Players having to gather a lead pass.

-Passing into the post is much faster/realistic.

-Nasty blocks from the AI CPU.

-Shot contest seems more realistic. No more jumping in the air extremely high and blocking jumpshots like its nothing(without taking into account body momentum/athleticism/wingspan/footplanting). Also defense recovery speed seems more realistic.

The more videos I watch, the more excited I get.

This is a bit off-topic but I gotta ask, from the Gamescon vids we saw, did you guys notice if the CPU opponent is already adjusting their defensive sets? I mean if they are now throwing zone defenses? Like for example, the Lakers and Celtics are teams who usually don Strong Side Zone defense.

why on earth would you want a fake, cheesy cyber face?

I feel like graphics are getting better to the point where cyber faces look almost as realistic as the photos (for some players anyway). I just don't wanna go back to the days where we had silhouettes and combo digital pics of Penny Hardaway and Travis Best. I wouldn't mind if the players in the game had photos and created players were cyber, but I think it would be more uniform if everyone had a cyber face as it's impossible to have a digital photo of a created player. I believe 2K5 had cyber faces for everyone.

i REALLY doubt you watched the vids at all....sliding is almost non existent this time around...the only concern i have are traveling violations not being called..

theres an instant where the player moves forward when passing the ball...i guess its the start of a dribble animation then in the last second the ball is passed out (but you see the feet shuffle)...Dirk does it in this vid (skip to 2:35)...

other than that this is probably the most polished ive seen in a 2k bball game...

The sliding to me is almost unnoticable.

which video does it show them getting off the bus?

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Team Introduction and Gameplay, From Gamescom Demo (Xboxworldch)

The first post of this thread shows them getting off the bus. Skip to about 25 seconds into the video.

This demo looks really good, especially if it's at an earlier build. If 2K can clean up everything nicely it should be a great game! I just really hope players move more fluid and realistically, defense is solid, and controls are responsive.
