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

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

Thank you Czar for the great effort and your dedication to basketball! I really appreciate it!!

As I mentioned in the Suns video ... the help defense looks alot more active to the ball side on higher than on lower difficulty. I am sure that on the Island-Play Kobe won't be 1on1 at a higher difficult setting.

When I was at the Lakers for the game against the Cavs in 2009 the Lakers defended LeBron with an additional help defender on the strong side. So they left the player alone who was farest from the ball.

That is what most of the teams do when the opponent wants to isolate their greatest offensive player. Hopefully 2K took care of this in regards for defensive improvements.

But as the Czar would say: "Give me all of your defenders. I still have momentum jumpers!" :wink:

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

See dat swags post below.... That is why I decided to switch it up and bit. Less talk and breakdowns and more 2k11 action

Swag This isn't network television my brother... I can't get new songs and verses for every episode.. We don't have sponsorships yet family... ROTFLOL I hear you though man but I only have permission to speak on plays.

Keep em comin big dawg...I know they limited your creativity...So just keep doin what you do...No hate here. Repetitive or not its good ish...Plus the quality of the work you do and your breakdowns give sim players a great insight on just how deep this game can go...So without a doubt go for all 10 episodes...The people of sim city need and want them

Word.

I was one of the few people who always ran plays in 2K10. I don't really care how many times you talk about 1 play and how many times you show it to us. To me, that's Kobe dunking on Shaq... lol a thing of beauty... Keep it up man!

Love the graphics in the intro.. Very ESPN-like.. and yeah mad props on Sage... He killed it!

Hey Czar,

Thanks for all the vids. Highly appreciate that. I'm really enjoying the Lamar sequence, I think others are agreeing with that. Also the Manu and B.roy clips in the intro are blowing my mind.

Is there anything in particular that you have seen yourself that just astonishes you?

EA is claiming that if it's in the game...welll you know what I'm saying. I'm not a ***** and I'm still excited to play the Elite demo but man seeing kobe and Lamar go to work is truly a thing of beauty. My gripe with 2k is the controls, How do they feel? I know I can find out on tuesday but I want hear it from somebody elses point of view.

Czar,

Question, fam. Since you mentioned that Lamar has his own plays, were you able to see if the Wing Reverse play for Lamar made it to the game? Please see video below to know what I'm referring about. Thanks, fam.

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

video was excellent, it still seems that paul gasol arms are still too short, i though that 2k fixed that, hope so, but anyways the cpu play with kobe was toooo sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

out of all the weak sliding complaints this is the only one i can roll with....i agree he should have way longer arms or at least shrink his head a bit so it will at least give that illusion of longer arms...

Durant needs longer arms as well...he's really lanky looking...

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

Wow. The AI has been taken to another level. This video shows so many great CPU things that weren't in last year.

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

They completely nailed Lamar Odum,they have him down perfectly.

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

nice vid czar, i have some questions if you dont mind, maybe u can answer them if u can of course. i write some things down i would like to know if they changed from 2k10 to 2k11

my biggest problems with 2k10 were:

off.rebounds - in the NBA an avg. of about 10-15 is achieved but i couldn't get it anywhere realistic in 2k10, have u seen changes ? its an important topic imo cuz its directly related to PIP

blocks - while it was kind of easy to block a jumpshot it was way harder to see regular blocks in the paint mainly cuz there was mostly used one animation and players used often the wrong direction and hand to attempt a block. in real life teams avg. 5-10 blocks a game (in the paint ofc) ... not in 2k10

and1's - waaaay to many were completed in 2k10, but if you lower the slider to much players miss open layups to often, whats your impressions with 2k11 ?

lead passes directly in the key under the basket, my cpu teammates standing there and just watching and not defending with fight for position and deflections, have u seen changes ?

i think thats enough for one post ^^ hope u can say something to this points cuz they are really bugging me and if they can get these things right while having a much improved spacing i could maybe finally play an entire season to the end without getting a stroke

peace out

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

The "dumb" defense comment is definitely valid. Although it is way too early to make any claims about this years game. At higher levels, your own teammates got worse. So seeing some stuff happen on PRO leaves many with some doubts.. It almost has me waiting on a first day purchase.

Theres a very thin line between great CPU offensive execution, and just flat out terrible CPU teammates giving away baskets. That balance is tough

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

****waits on Czar to bring back classic intro****

.

You mean that it's the czar , it's the czar, It's the czar joint the wife did ? HAHA man that is just too dated isn't it ? Maybe I'll bring it back for one show but I don't know... LOL

Hopefully next year they "hand off" will be a little more fluid. But that was absoltuely amazing regardless.

They allowed me to give feedback for next year and that was def on it.

Czar your a better man than me, with some of these silly comments your getting, I would cut it off here......were getting brand new 2k11 footage and people find something to complain about...SMH

I appreciate the time and effort man...I just spent 2 hours editing something for work so I know it can be a tedious process....keep up the good work and I look forward to more vids..

24th I really appreciate hearing that man. TEDIOUS is the word fam. I see you feel my pain. How about when you think your finished and find an issue right in the middle that throws all the timing and everthing off.HAHAH bonus hour and half right there....

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

Idk the triangle offense isnt set....the triangle offense always changes, its what the defense gives u... i hope they got this...

Moe game development is a process of steps from what I am learning. You can't fly before you learn to walk. IE them making last years play dynamic wouldn't have helped at all.

I have showed you 3 teams with 3 completely different play styles. They fully committed to the individualization of the teams this year to a degree no one ever has. Let's digest this first and then look for the next evolution of this part of the game.

For now it's up to you to mix up your play calls to put your scorers in different position. ALso if you include the ability they have to run any play for any player. There are a ton of ways for you to disguise where your going with the ball.

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

Great videos Da_Czar, really appreciate them.
Any chance of seeing some Blazers footage too ?

In general, if there are some quirks carried over from 2k9/10 I wouldn't mind you mentioning them. This would help to keep expectations down on earth a bit .

You know what that is a hell of a question. I showed you all the "lamar" type plays in the lakers default playbook.... But don't forget these crazy dudes at 2k put in authentic plays for old skool phil bulls teams also.

There is a play in one of the classic bulls teams for Kukoc that has that same action. But I think he comes from the other side of the floor. So it is the same action but he starts in a different location.

Great question if you mix a match some of the old and new bulls/ lakers plays you will have a pretty good combination. Gawd I wish I had the game.. They went IN on the classic teams plays. I'm not talking about just having 3-4 classic plays per team. more like 15-20 and they are not rehashes of the current teams plays.

PLEASE 2k send me my game NOW !!!! LOL
