Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Denver at Orlando (8-24-10)

Its time to just let some of the pettiness go

If you dont care for someone's opinion ignore list them

or just skip over it, but every thread cannot turn into a conversation about misunderstandings and why we're bumping heads.

Guys just talk about what you see and leave it at that, whether you agree or not. There is plenty to talk about other than that stuff.

While I agree that there was a larger wealth of game footage in the Gamescom videos that does not account for the fact that while, yes some of my concerns (overhead passing) were present in those videos. The frequency in which they occured was no where near the level that was displayed in this new footage. Overall the Gamescom videos had more varied pass animations executed in the correct situations as well as bad pass animations all of which are not present in this new video. In addition yes the player models looked more true to life in the Gamescom footage I am not the only person to point this out.

You have to use context in the situations where the overhead passes were attempted, and also factor in player proximity, and the user just making bad passes. An example is the first over head pass that was attempted at the 0:05 mark by the user. Now Chauncey could have attempted a chest pass from that distance, which could have possibly increased the likelihood of a completed pass (not likely), but a cross court pass like that with a defender fronting deserved to be picked off 10 out of 10 times no matter what type of pass is attempted. I'm not about to go through all of the scenarios in which an overhead pass was executed in this video because there were alot, my point was that the overhead passes DID exist in the build that you apparently have high praise for since the only that was wrong with those vids were the "high glass layups, and cosmetic things." As for the player models looking more true to life in the Gamescom build, I'll chalk that up, and put that in the subjectivity category because we are not only talking about different teams, but also quality that is virtually night and day in comparison to something recorded with a camera and capture hard/software.

If I'm supposed to reel it in a bit then what is the point of posting on this open forum. I'm the first to applaud 2K when they do something positive, but I'm also as a dedicated fan quick to point out where they should improve.

Calm down because I've pointed out things that I didn't like about the video as well as my likes. I just thought that:

the only thing really wrong from the footage from Gamescom was the high off the glass lay ups and cosmetic innaccuracies with accessories

you were being a bit extreme to try and substantiate a claim that the gamescom build was "light years ahead of 2K10" while this video looked to be "slightly improved" (your words) when in fact they have way more in common than they do in differences.I really don't know what type of illusion the various short clips have created for some, but I'm virtually watching the same 2K11 from those gamescom clips (give and take some MINOR things) with different teams, a better user (which would explain lesser TO's), and with better quality. Sorry, those short clips from gamescom don't scream "light years ahead" for me.

[QUOTE=Positive Chance;2041513590]This will be the last time I explain myself, and after that.. I will not retaliate to any other post like this .
I made a post and then I explained the post, then I thought about my post . I changed the way I viewed the game ( if we're still allowed to do that here ). I did not tell anyone that they were on crack or any substance if they did not view the video the same as I did .


Okay guy sorry I said you were on crack!! but I felt like you would have to be on some type of substance not to see the blarring improvements made in this years installment. But you are correct in that you should be allowed to have your opinion I for one just think that it was mis-stated as it relates to game improvements....looking at the video you can clearly see it is different than last years installment for the most part..I just wish some of you fellas would really look at the video's more closely...again I apologize for my remarks that may have seemed offensive sir.

The videos obviously look different because they are from 2 different sources. Those Gamescon video were captured looking at an HD tv from about 2 feet way. The new video is Raw footage recorded with some kind of capture device. This is the big visual difference between the videos. The Gamescon videos Images are so much bigger so there for you see more detail.

I'll say this

I really REALLY wish 2k would change the rim sounds and stuff..

Changing the sound of the rims, the menus when you scroll...

Believe it or not that stuff makes a difference too

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Denver at Orlando (8-24-10)

Looks good to me. I think a lot of people bring up good points on the negatives with the video, but I'm not as nitpicky as some of you (although you guys make good points, I'm not saying it's a bad thing haha).

If this was the same game as 2k10 with the Jordan Challenge added, I would be happy. It looks like there's a few other improvements too, so even better. I'm excited for this game.

One thing I really hope they change is the stupid contact animations, though. Looks like there's some of that in the video, sadly.

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Denver at Orlando (8-24-10)

Overall, I think the game looks great. I'm JUST now seriously getting into NBA 2K10 (thanks to Blockbuster offering free online rentals, now, with my movie rental subscription). Couldn't get the game at the stores since it was always out and I wasn't going to buy it because I was tired of NBA2K (the demo didn't help nor playing it in Best Buy) so I'm trying to do some comparing of the vids to what I've been playin in 2K10. I like what I'm seeing. Better passing, dribbling, transition animations, presentation and what's his head sounds more like he's real life commentating. I still don't like CK, though. He will ALWAYS be annoying to me.

Can't wait to check out the new controls in this game. Better be a demo before the retail release, 2K!!

Liked the video, better than 2K10 but there are some issues that some people already said

I respected their opinion, and felt that if I did that, my opinion would also be respected . However, on Operationsports, some poster feel as if everyone should agree with any tiny little spectrum that they say or give .

Lol, funny, but also true. Everyone should be allowed to make an opinion here on OS, without someone feeling offended by it. I abhor it. Video looks good btw.

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Denver at Orlando (8-24-10)

It was good to see melo's jumper. Looked really good and I liked how he was able to get it off without the dumb superman closeouts. Don't like how he still looks like his horrible 2k10 self. One of the faces in 2k10 I really didn't like.

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Denver at Orlando (8-24-10)

Okay if you really want to know if that's 2k11 just look at the pictures of the players. That aside, some things definitely need work. The players models are EXACTLY the same as 2k10 (WTF?) and Birdman doesn't do his hair like that anymore (Where's the mustache?). Only people I saw with different (better) sigs was carmelo and JR. Crowd still looks repetitive and commentary sounds all too familiar. If 2k doesn't cut out the laziness Elite will take it this year (Seriously). I have no doubt that they are not done yet and will tighten up player models as well as animations of all kind. Main focus should be improving my player and the association at this point. The graphics won't change drastically, but some things have to be done (Sweat and more face animations). 2K never lets me down so I'm not really worried lol. I would HATE to have to make NBA Elite my main B-Ball game lol... NOOOOOOOOOO!

P.S. Where is Superman's special sleeve lmao!? Also, they really need to make Howard smile a lot more for better realism... In real life everytime I see the guy he's always laughing or smiling up and down the court... Except for when he gets called for a foul and vice versa lol.

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Denver at Orlando (8-24-10)

Looks like a much improved 2k10....

Off-Ball movement anis look great and trigger in the right situations.

We didn't see a ton of it in this vid but I'm liking the pnr execution on both sides. Much better than 2k10.

Dribbling looks better, but I agree there needs to be more blocking fouls with the amount of contact we're seeing on the perimeter. Hopefully tweaking the block foul slider changes this and not only the charge/block call frequency like 2k10.

Liking the size-ups. Stationary dribble moves in 2k10 were minimal and tough to trigger (step out ani), this should help a lot.

Jumpshooting in general looks a ton better for various reasons that have already been noted, including how the defense guards it. This aspect of 2k10 was the main reason a kept on going back to live 10.

The passing did look a little suspect at times but still an improvement and should get better by release.

Overall the locomotion looks solid, (players still get a little hyperactive in their movements from time to time) but a huge improvement to 2k10 which was an eysore in this regard.

Presentation wise, the already great commentary is improved and Doris Burke sounds like she'll work out much better than Cheryl Miller did as the sideline reporter.

Player models, textures, acceccessories, and facial expressions all recieved a nice upgrade from what I can tell.

Really excited for what October 5th is going to bring.

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Denver at Orlando (8-24-10)

Not liking how the hop-step issue hasn't been addressed. Still looks nearly unstoppable and just moves people out the way(shoulda put all this in 1 post but w/e).
