I don't know, it's not like we've seen it all in the beginning, there's might be more, or maybe it wasn't there yet for that build. But, of course, there's a chance that you're right.

3 out of 3 dunks so far have been suction slow mo type dunks. so unnatural. It stands out because everything else is so spectacular looking

(last cpu dunk looked great)

Also they mentioned about the Legendary mode in which you control only Jordan and that when you're being sub...you have to sit on the bench and watch. I believe i was the one that suggest this feature wayyy back long time ago...i guess it took them 2 or 3 years to put it in there.

I figured by "watch from the bench" he just meant like My Player mode last year where you watch from "beyond" or can press Y or Triangle to skip to your next appearance.

I also forgot to mention the first time around that those Bulls jerseys looked like they sort of had a shiny font (like the '92 jerseys). Could have just been me though.

I noticed Stacey King, B.J. Armstrong and maybe even Dennis Hopson on the bench during a cut scene. Sweet.

Must be an older build than the Gamescon demo since it doesn't look as smooth. I think I really want this game, though. I can't front on my love of Jordan from back in my Bulls fan days. I want to play these mods regardless of my iso motion dislike.

It would be pretty hard to have gotten the sam announcers in this game that did it back in thge early 90's, so i can forgive 2k for that. yea yea shorts still need to be shorter, but i really wish 2k would have player intro's, especially for this Jordan challenge. Thats one of tghe things i remember about Jordans era

What gives me hope though is that we're seeing such and i mean such a differentiation in the pre game presentation. So maybe this particular piece of gameplay didnt show it....hopefully

mike,

you guys mentioned that you did your best to fill the rosters with the actual players. what did you guys do to take their place? is #1 jones a product of that?

completely unrelated can we edit legendary rosters?

also, remember how the old maddens allowed you to replace a current roster with a legendary team if you wanted? can we move any of the historical teams into a season?

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: The "Shrug" Game

anyone have a youtube link for this yet? the video loads so slow (especially on my connection) and as some people mentioned earlier in the thread, no ability to skip to the middle of the video

edit: never mind, figured it out. whoo

[JerseySuave4]

this is truely amazing. I am going to have more fun using the old teams than i am the current teams. Its like getting to play the NBA back in its glory days when i was growing up with it on the SEGA Genesis playing games like Bulls vs Blazers, NBA Showtime, NBA Live, NBA Action but with the next gen graphics i always wish we had. I hope next year they expand upon the old teams the have and add even more old teams like the Suns, Rockets, Spurs, Heat, Hornets, etc.

I'm so excited for this game its insane.

And i like how Jordan had a half calf sleeve and still had socks! The sleeve is perfect. Thats what i asked of the 2k people for the other calf sleeves. Make the sleeve shorter, leave a space between the sleeve and sock, and add socks! Hopefully this will be the way the other sleeves are.

Yes, for guys we couldn't secure a license for, they were replaced with generics. The classic team rosters ARE editable though so you can put the right guys in... or download someone else's 2K Share roster, which I'm sure there will be plenty of. And yes, you can also take the historical teams into the Association mode. Simballer will be expanding on that at a later time.

Re: THE SHRUG GAME

Loved the video only gripes I have are that the Bulls shorts should be the same length as the Blazers are in the video.
















Also it looks like the color is a little off in the wood on the floor of Chicago stadium.

Agree on that buddy.

More excellent news. The ability to edit makes an awesome mode even awesomner. Very nice to know we'll be able to fill out the rosters correctly on our own.
