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

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

I've seen it several times and it a bit worries me: I've seen both Ray Allen and Paul Pierce giving up wide open shots (even wide open easy layups) and just dribbing around. Maybe it's because of the "Pro" level, I don't know, I hope that's the reason.

Has anyone seen this?

I'm seeing this too. I'm hoping the cpu takes advantage of open shots better on the higher difficulty settings.

Huh?

I'm talking about the case where if you call for a bank shot on a 3 pointer, and release it late, it goes in a lot. I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

This game is so bad at this stage:

1) Dribbling: Players look like robots dribbling the basketball instead of athletic beings doing it in the court. You can't even walk the ball up court which is ridiculous. It just doesn't feel natural to move around the court. Sorry but this game gets an F in this department.

2) Momentum: Players have absolutely 0 weight in this years game. The game feels detached as animations don't transfer smooth and continuous as it should to express the game of basketball.

This is coming from someone who has purchased every single NBA 2K basketball game since 1999 starting with Dreamcast.

Um then you must've not played every game, this year is the best year they've ever illustrated weight within the game you need momentum to get to the rim using the isomotion and animations feel incredible and smooth as they give you great control DOn't know what game your playing but you need to check and make sure you downloaded the right demo

So has anyone encountered the supposed banking three pointer glitch? I want to hear from people that do NOT have a history of hating on the game and have been here longer than six months. No offense to the new folks...

I'm stoning on a consistent bases.

it is not consistent so I don't see it as a problem plus hitting 3 when open is not really difficult to do in the first place in the demo you are not going to see a C hitting 3 all of a sudden just by banking it in.

We're referring to the times where a CPU player like Pierce or Allen, who are good jump shooters, is wide open for a jumper but doesn't take it.

So then you weren't replying to my post then?

NBA 2K11 looking good so far, can't wait to rebuild my Nets. Derrick Favors the next Jason Kidd, catch me online PS3 when it comes out.

Mmm...I can't get enough of this demo! It's just so smooth and realistic.
Two things:
1.) Did they fix the height of the ball being released on a post-move (IE: KG shooting on a post-move resulting in him shooting the ball at the very top of the backboard)
2.) Any clue if the custom soundtrack will be available for the ps3?

Ok...keep in mind that I haven't played 2k basketball on a regular basis before, so I apologize if I state something thats obvious or been in the game forever. With that said, this game is SICK! Absolutely SICK!

I have played about 20 games of the demo and it just keeps getting better and better, most likely due to the fact that I am still learning the controls and movement of the game and now that I'm getting isomotion down and the controls, I'm having more fun with the game. I gotta admit, its a big learning curve that is frustrating at times, but thanks to the sticky at the top and me just practicing(yes I'm talking about practice) I'm getting the hang of it and damn is it sweet.

Probably the biggest thing that stands out to me is the off ball movement, cutting, backdoors, etc. I played a game where I did nothing but control Bynum in the middle because I wanted to see how off the ball movement was and I enjoy coming over to help and swatting the shot. I was amazed at how the cpu waits for things to open up. They are setting screens trying to get playmakers the ball. I didn't see Rondo jacking up 3's with under 10secs left, but yet put the ball on the deck and try to create. I saw the cpu exploit mismatches. I saw basketball.

I love the rebounding, the fouls(got called for riding Pierce to the basket) the rim physics and the overall atmosphere of the game. Its amazing how well the game captures the sport.

The only beef I have, and its my own not the game, is adjusting to the shot stick. I'll try to make a move with the ball handler, instinctly press the R-stick(used to EA College basketball) and put up a ridiculous shot. Other than that, I'm having a blast and absolutely cannot wait until the 5th(not because its my birthday) but because I'm finally going to have a game, at least I anticipate having a game, that captures the authenticity of its sport as well as the Show does for baseball.

Kudos to 2k and I'm begging you, absolutely begging you to bring back college hoops.

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

They still have that awkward full court pass animation that they've had for years where the guy like throws it with one arm on the run? I haven't been able to play the demo yet but I was watching a gameplay video and someone threw that pass I thought they finally got rid of that
