Re: NBA 2K11: Ten Teams in Ten Days - Day 3: Los Angeles Lakers

I wonder if i will be the only one going through a little "mini training camp" in practice mode, when i get my hands on this game.

Honestly from my history of playing basketball games, i have ran plays about 0% of the time. But man, does this have me actually wanting to LEARN the plays this year, and not just count the pick and roll, and an occasional pass in the post, as "running an offense".

The video is great I just hope in 2k11 it isn't so easy to score in the post. In 2k10, you can literally stand under the basket and press "square or X", and it goes in. It's ridiculous. No matter how strong the defense is inside. I hope the defense has improved greatly.

Last I checked, when a player gets the ball inside, it's damned hard to stop them from scoring. Can you imagine the crying you just started missing bunnies arbitrarily?

LOL
Shots in the paint should go in at about 55%, depending on the player.

You are so right. It's damned hard!!! I'm so glad I didn't miss this bunny because I definitely would've cried.

I noticed that the when Kobe got double teamed it looked alot different from 2k10. Much less canned.

But that's how it is IRL, the combination of the massive contact and pressure + shady big man coordination (for most nba centers and many PF's) leads to many missed "bunnies" under the basket. just part of the game really.

Czar, Wicked video as usual. Much respect.

I'm sure 2K made a ton of great improvements, and it will be a solid game like it is mostly every year... but how long does Andrew Bogut need to wear his hair long before 2K fixes this? The Bucks have not been visually updated at all it seems, and most of them looked terrible.

Anyway, great looks at some different teams thus far, Czar. I expect the Suns or Warriors are coming up for the outright fast-paced teams, but their plays will be less comprehensive in the half-court, or at least they should.

hasnt 2k been criticized in the past for having players miss assumed "easy" layups?

Re: NBA 2K11: Ten Teams in Ten Days - Day 3: Los Angeles Lakers

There is a fundemental difference between blowing an open layup on a fastbreak and missing under a crowded basket.

These are two very different situations. the former should have a 99% success rate while the later ought to be quite difficult to nail.

2k's so far ahead right now it makes no sense.

Kobe teaching it himself...nice closeup of the two step @ 0:56. I mean, you need the two steps to explode into the shot and shoot over the defender. Only difference is this is a one dribble pull up and it was 2 in the vid.

Never been a fan of Kobe as a person, but damn that dude is SICK on the court. I could watch him break down his moves all day long. Like I said, I don't root for the guy as a person, but he is AWESOME on the court. And if he's this lethal in 2k11, my Spurs and I have a ton of work to do. CAN'T WAIT.
