NBA 2K11: New Alley-Oop Controls, Jordan Challenge=8 Mins and NBA-Approved Hard Fouls

Re: Some new info on Jordan Challenge (Espn videogames)

For what it's worth, the author of that article may have just been saying that is the default setting for the Jordan Challenge. He did not venture to say whether the time could be altered or not.

Regardless, I'm still down with this mode to the tenth power.

True. I hope you'll be able to change the time to 12 minute quarters. Either way, I'm still interested in the challenge. I'm glad that they changed the alley-oop control, I swear when I first started playing 2k10 I'd always alley-oop by accident and commit a turnover.

And about Chuck Barkley, it's a shame that he didn't want to be represented in the game. He's one of my all-time favorites.

I just hope you can choose the minutes. I always play 10.

I normally play 10 min quarters to give me the best realistic results during assoc. If this mode is locked in to only 8 min, so be it, as long as the buckets don't come super easy, or I can adjust the difficulty myself. I would hate to beat this game mode in my 3 days of having the game thus having reason to touch it afterwards. I would hope I can change the minutes but will not fuss if I cannot.

I wonder what the hard fouls are going to look like, and what kind of emotion will the game display as a result of a hard foul

I don't think it's a matter of him not wanting to be in the game. He has some sort of special license or contract or whatever which prevents him from being in video games.

Quick question (didn't have time to read this or other threads to find the answer):

Can you take an historic team through a season? If so, how will it work? For instance, if you can indeed play a season with the '86 Bulls, how would you do it? Not play against the current '10-'11 Bulls? That would be best, as it would be weird to play Bulls vs Bulls (but I'd have no problem playing '86 Bulls vs '10-'11 Cavs).

Ya you can, you just change it in custom season settings.

I would put all 5 Bulls teams in the Season bracket and have the East playoff tree be all Bulls teams and have the finals be 92 bulls vs 98 bulls

Yes. You can replace existing teams with the classic teams and take them into Association/Season, just like you do with custom teams in 2K10.

You know where to find that info? I'd like to really know why he doesn't want to be in games.

Thanks for the quick reply guys.

So I can take the current Bulls out but play their schedule with an historic Bulls team? Great.

Alley-oop controls changed to LT+B this year (was LT+A) to help avoid accidental tosses while running with turbo and simply trying to pass.

this was well though of....i have seen way too many accidental alley hoops in previous nba 2k games maybe the only ohter thing to change is to remove X on the xbox controller as a direct passing button...sometimes u accidentaly shoot the ball feom half court

It's been talked about since the days of NBA Live 95. He, Jordan and someone else finally features in NBA Live 98 or 99 I believe, and since then, neither Jordan nor Barkley have appeared in any Live or 2K games (except NBA Live 2002 when Jordan was a player again).

I can't seem him saying no every year for 15 years just cause he doesn't want to be in a basketball game.

MJ was in an NBA 2K game too with the Wizards.

In this year's My Player mode, the game doesn’t end after the final buzzer. In NBA 2K11 you gotta take the podium for your own post-game press conferences. But watch what you say, your answers can earn you admiration or get you run out of town. Will you claim all the glory or will you praise your coaches?

Then it must've been around 2002. 2K and Live have the rights to active players in the league, but not all retired players.
