I' curious...are the "Ten teams in ten days" videos going to be released on continuous days? For example today is day 2, so the second vid would come out. Or are the release days separate?

...and you could do that after the play stopped lol

yep that game was a gem in the making, then M$ cut their sports lineup and Mike came over to 2k and thus the tendencies started here. We used to always say 2k would be the best if they got ID's tendencies

I don't even have the original XBOX anymore but I still have my Inside Drive 04 copy, I just cant get rid of it. It's a classic in my opinion. I agree with you that it was a head of its time, they had a lot going on.

The presentation was solid, I liked the trio of Colabro, Marcus Johnson and Kenny Smith. They had awareness of your players stats as well.

Also man I would just like to say thank you to ever single person who stopped by to say something about the video and show your appreciation. When its 3:30 am. and i have to be to my real job at 6 and I'm editing like nobody's business that is when I think about the guys who appreciate the work. Even if it doesn't scratch your particular itch

While everyone is getting excited I just want to caution you as I always do. The game is not perfect and as new as it is its still 2k. The stuff I am showing you however is real. After playing and capturing the Bulk of my 2k experience is represented in this videos. When I finish a game of 2k11 i am not focused on what video type of thing went wrong. I am thinking about my next matchup and what set's I should have used... You know strategy.. I have to believe that whatever else you may dislike about the game That one factor for most sim gamers overrides everything else.

and it is just flat FUN to play. Wether you know a lot of hoops or non at all you can find a level and setting that makes the game fun to play.

I was beaten several times on all star by better than 20 pts with no cheese no backdoors non of that nonsense. I am sure once I master the controls and such that won't happen regularly but just to show you the cpu on sim all star is no punk. And from my limited time it appears to play legitimate basketball against you.

I know each person wants to see certain things and I am trying to mix in as much as I can.

The next video if it's the one I'm thinking they will show. I have put a bit more emphasis on defense ( keeping in mind I'm supposed to be highlighting offense only)

As an FYI most of the clips and honestly I can't remember which ones but most are on Sim Pro level. The defense was tuff in a limited amount of time to highlight the offense on sim all star.

the cpu is just if not more effective with the plays as a user. If you can't stop something they will keep running it.

schedule wise the plan PENDING approvals is to release 10 straight week days 10 straight shows. Most of you know I have never attemted to release this many shows because of the work load. I am trying to stay in front of this train... LOL If I am able to and if the approvals stay steady every weekday for 10 days you should have a show.

NO GUARANTEES !

I'm curious how teams that had major upgrades (Miami, Chicago, NY, etc) will incorporate their plays considering that have MAJOR pieces that weren't with the team last year, AND they haven't even went through training camp yet. In the Bulls case, they even have a different coach.

From the best I could decipher from my own archives and synergy's a team like the bulls still has the plays they ran from last season. While with the Heat I could see they transplanted some of lebron's set's from cleveland into Miami.

Obviously no one has a crystal ball. Good thing is with over 1,000 plays the community should have no problem keeping them more accurate than they have ever been.

THink about it man. You had fun playing 2k10 with 80 plays spread across 30 teams.. How much variety can you really see if that is the case ? Almost every point guard in 2k10 on default rosters shares at least 1 play. You have Dwade and tony parker and manu all using the same exact play ?

How can you have teams REALLY playing different if that is the case ?

From that standpoint its a whole new game of 2k. The only team that run thunder sets in the game right now are the thunder. that means if you play them once a season or twice you won't see those sets again all year....

That's HOTT

Czar, no wonder you lose by 20, you don't get enough sleep, man.

Keep it up! Well done!

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Ten Teams in Ten Days - Day 1: Oklahoma City Thunder (Da_Czar)

Nice work Czar, definitely looks like a more cohesive play calling system....

Question for you, did the new system for calling plays feel intuitive and less cumbersome than using the d-pad?

The Nets as well with the new players they signed, plus they have Avery Johnson and Sam Mitchell on the sideline.

Anyways, Czar! Thanks man for doing all these videos. You deserve a rest !

You're right man, each team as a team felt too much alike in 2k10...

Now the latter part of this post is what is so amazing... Playing a season you will truly not be able to use the exact same tactics to stop each team, so you cant get complacent and lazy on defense..

That is monumental IMO!.. or as you said HOTT, lol

I might actually get into franchise mode now. I hated playing a team that had the same plays as the team I just played. Motion 1 backdoor cut (for the point guard) must of been on every single team last year. Now you have to think twice before shooting the passing lane.
