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

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

Artest just did a two handed swat on Rondo as he was going for the layup.. I've finally seen that its in there.. Right after I ask about it.

-------

The more I play, the more I notice that each possession is different, in regards to CPU defender intensity. Some plays, I can do all sorts of fancy stuff with Kobe as the defender is back a bit and there is no contact disrupting my flow. Other times, it's just not meant to be, with a defender crowding me, preventing some movements.

MC, I noticed that kobe mix is taken from a couple games/maybe a dozen. Im guessing you tried other Kobe moves without much success as you were filming for the mix? People get the impression that you can do that every time down. But its a highlight tape. Am I wrong?

Maybe it's not the control some people want, but in some sense, it's feeling more realistic than ever. Should Kobe always be able to get off a double size up right cross over left move? Or in some regards, is it situation specific?

Do users want ultimate freedom of control and then complain when there allowed to do it, or how it appears 2k11 has done contact/control.

With no contact, people complain moves are too easy
With contact, people complain the moves aren't consistent

As always I could be looking too much into it

i have played the demo over and over and i like it but i think im done

its just so complicated to do moves that it gets frustrated. Most of the time im just running around and doing size ups

the only reason im getting by people is cause kobe just runs by them cause its pro diff

yea this too...but i am in no means done with it...i will master it whether i have to play it 1000 more times before the game comes out

there are some improvements but the fact that there are, "ANIMATIONS", really turns me off. if elite wasn't going to the physics engine i wouldn't even purchase a bball game this year. i think all of u r fiending for a bball game, thus all of the bullcrap comments. this game is a 6.5 based on what i saw. the fact that they have the jordan challenges mean nothing to me now. also for all of u that wants things from live.....keep ur perfect title, lol!

Oh, someone else then(crowd). It is on pro, so I'd imagine that's why.

What sports video game do you know that does not have "ANIMATIONS"? Lol... and why do people feel its necessary to announce what game they will be purchasing this year?

The mix is fine for me.. you shouldn't be able to dribble crossing over and doing crazy stepbacks without consequence... at least not in this game

Truth of the matter is you're going to have to pass the ball sometimes, call for a pick, give and go, drive and kick, shoot a spot up J... etc etc

Thats what you call basketball, this isnt a rec league demo although they botched the plays badly (ugh)

I know it feels good to control Kobe and everything but the dude is not an And 1 legend

Just played the demo for a bit and man, what a fun game. Im going to have a blast playing all the jordan modes,etc on top of running an association,etc. I can already tell this game is going to own me till at least Christmas.

I wouldn't expect to see this in the demo, but I'm surprised 2k hasn't added a way for users to choose which player jumps for the tip.

Come on man. You have to say more than just that. What makes you say that? Considering what's been said about the new controls, I don't think they are trying to be like any other game except REAL basketball - which some people are trying to adjust to.

THe game has a steep learning curve , its s'not ELite man, not a pick up and play game. never has been been after 2k9 thats all i can tell you invest some time and get a true feel for the controls learn to fether the stick not jerk it. Don't use turbo when doing crossovers jsut the left stick thats all you need....DUEces

It's a great mix for me too.. Throw in CPU AI that runs plays to a ID04 like efficiency, shooting animations that let you get shots off with relative ease, court spacing with a true drive and kick game, and the combo mix of control/contact, and this is looking like the best NBA game to ever release. True Progress. 2k11 should be better than 2k10 and 2k9 in terms of strictly looking at the date and believing every year there is progress, but this is sorta looking like what 2k9 and 2k10 shouldve.... Maybe a full year behind what others think the game should be at.. I'll let people "hate" as I appreciate
