Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

you must have downloaded a better demo than i did. i can't do any of the stuff you're doing.

they had to have known that a bunch of new potential buyers are going to be checking this out due to mj being on the cover. so i don't know why they didn't include a basic tutorial. i would have happily downloaded the extra gig, 2k.

the moves have always been esoteric. theyre extremely contextual and 90% of users will never perform over half the moves in their life time.

Agreed. I haven't played an nba game in along time and am kind of hyped for this game, but I can't play half as good as he is and with no tutorial I am just hating the game.

Also on a fast break with kobe, why can't kobe out run perkins and the bigger men? (had a steal and kobe was breaking and seems like he didn't even pull away much from the big men chasing)

My impressions from the demo are as followed.
I am overall impressed but I wish they would of made the demo a tad bit longer. It is a bit of a learning curve with the moves, iso motion, signature gathers etc. To include some sort of practice mode where people could perfect the feel of the game would have been nice.

The iso motion feels funny to me. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it is because I dont know the moves and I am just pressing buttons as if I were playing 2k10 might be it. I wish they implemented the player chatter that is on the 360. It gives the action on the court another level of immersion.

Superstars are going to be a problem in this years game. Kobe is a monster. They have nailed the "signature" style of the players as well. Kobe's and Pierces jumpers are spot on. It is truly a joy to watch. I went for a steal with Artest and he got called for a foul and he started jumping up and down holding the ball.

2k11 is the king of the block when it comes to basketball sports simulation and I wish they would stand behind their product a bit more. Make the demo longer and give us a practice mode!

I am proclaiming it.

I just played 2 games of the PS3 demo. I have some very basic impressions, but here they are..

Positives
+ It seems to be an accurate representation of NBA basketball
+ I haven't felt a " scripted " feel

Negatives
- 2K Sports needs to figure out to use 2x AA on the PS3 cause the graphics are rough around the edges - literally
- Players move robotically sometimes ( usually when the clock is stopped )
- Sluggish controls

Evil..pure evil that we can't switch to the Celtics. You don't know how much it pained me to put the beats on Ray Allen for 10 quarters straight.

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

To the people that cant get the controls...you just gotta mess around with them. i played 3 or 4 games and i thought it was horrible now ive played it a lot and im getting the hang of the controls. just keep playing and like poster above said feather the left stick

Know right thats what i'm trying to get through to these guys the controls are completely different for every dude...listen hold the left trigger and just lightly tap the left stick.. GUY STARTS DRIBBLING IN one spot doing between the legs and everything from you just lightly tapping it and DON"T i Repeat DON"T USE The RIGHT TRIGGER WHILE TRYING TO DO CROSSOVERS its only the left trigger

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

Man I loved this demo because of 2 things, you can't choose the celtics and you can't sub out unless your fouling a player out...besides that, I didn't like how fluid the game ran and how much more polished the game was. Players felt more organic, the tempo of the game much improved...Kobe Bryant is a beast, Pau Gasol is a beast, the arena atmosphere was vastly improved, the way the crowd looks this year is just amazing, controls felt way better than previous years, the cpu will exploit miss matches and use it to there advantage, numerous of tipped passes forces you to make good decisions, did I mention Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol are beast? Overall I just couldn't stand this demo! October 5th can't get here quick enough!

Man from these videos you guys are posting it's crazy some of the offensive higlights that have been occurring in our short time with the demo but what i happened to come across amazed me, watch what happens to rondo when he drives the ball...

sorry guys i dont know the coding to have the video show up right there

It's kind of weird though how he wasn't even slightlyyy hurt, from the height he fell straight on his back i'd assume a little pain is acceptable lol.

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

No manual subs again in the demo, and I really wanted to play with Steve "The Kobe Killer" Blake. So I ended up fouling out Derek Fisher and giving the Celtics a 0-6 Advantage with 3 minutes left to play. When Steve Blake came in I started giving him all the shots, he went 3-3 to quickly tie the game. Paul Pierce gets free down in the paint and puts the Celtics up 8-6. I make another shot with Steve Blake going 4-4. Celtics give the ball to KG and tries to post up, I hit the ball out of KG's hands and last touch was on the Celtics.

I get the ball back with 10 seconds to go, get Steve Blake free and he takes the final shot FTW!!!!

Lakers win 10-8!

Anyone know how to alley-oop on the PS3?

There definitely should be an in-game tutorial.

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

i'm not impressed. no tutorial so i have no idea how to call picks or juke people with different dribbling mechanics. also, the shot stick is a total ****ing mystery.

and without commentary, the game feels boring. not living up to the hype so far.

LOL @ saying it's not living up to the hype just because you don't know how to play. That's hilarious.

i have been playing 2k games since iso motion came out and i still cant do what you are doing. Im still only doin basic moves and still running in circles or left to right to do a spin move.

I hate these moves but they look good when you do them. and you make then look so easy to do. even for people who have been playin 2k for a while they still need a tutorial

Has anyone pulled Kobe's reverse pivot move and captured it on a video to share?
