Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

looks great

I love the slight change to the NBA today screen in Association.

They didn't say this but i assume it's still in there but can we still control all of the teams in an association like we could last year?

Wow. Just Wow. This game has the potential to be THE best sports game to ever hit the market. The new AI logic has me drooling. And not to mention this being confirmed: -

Classic Teams: I’ve seen so much discussion on this in the forums despite us previously confirming this. Yes, you absolutely can take our classic teams into Association. This means you can bring any of Jordan’s Bulls into the league. Equally as fun I have found is to bring in the Malone/Stockton Jazz and the Ewing Knicks alongside the Jordan teams. It’s an interesting wrinkle to the Association formula that people in the office have been enjoying for months now!

C-A-N-N-O-T WAIT!

I LOVE the idea of the Player Finder. That's actually pretty freaking brilliant.

Simply amazing, however I want to see how good the AI is in the game.

I'm not really into the Association mode, but this Insight was amazing!!! Way to go, 2K!

Beautiful! Now I can complete the Knicks' rebuilding project. Just under two weeks to go.

Agreed. People should not be saying the AI is great until they spend time with the retail copy.

And I am still concerned with the trade logic. I don't want to see the AI trading their bench guys just for the sake of trading.

Even if everything doesn't work perfectly, no one can complain about VC not addressing their concerns.

This game is the unicorn man. That one game that comes along every once in a while. Absolutely astounding what they did to this game in a year.

The great white Buffalo....

Couldn't agree more. That is what makes 2k the GOAT in my opinion. When they address something they REALLY go after it and more. Absolutely incredible depth this year in Association.

Oh my word

I honestly might take a day off...

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

Oh my god!

I'm most excited for:

*The new trade logic/roster building
- No more stacking positions
- Players having different trade values to different teams
- Teams trading or not trading players to improve their specific goals and play styles.

* Find a player/trade (It's like I have Daryl Morey's stats team on hand)

* Draft day trades (though I too wanna know if you can trade draft rights)

* Splitting the MLE

* No more silhouettes

* Seeing playoff games matter more with dynamic attendance

* D-League actually having an effect on players development (this one is huge for me)

* Being able to turn off autosave finally.

* Improved sim stats

* Being able to track league wide player progression/regression


I am simply blown away by all this. This is going to be the longest 2 weeks ever. My only questions (which may have been answered) are:

1. Is dynamic attendance just a visual thing, or is it auditory as well. Does the crowd get louder as people file into the arena, and louder still for bigger games? What I mean is a packed house for the Heat-Bucks shouldn't be as loud as a packed house for the Heat-Lakers finals (in Miami). Though the crowd size may be the same, the intensity of the game makes the fans more amped up and rabid. This is a nitpicky thing, and if it's not in, that's fine. It will still be vastly improved from last year.

2. Has scouting been improved at all?

Regardless, this is a damn overhaul of the game mode I play most. I am way too excited and almost wish I wouldn't have read that because of how excited I am.

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

The first thing i'll do when i get the game is sim a season and go straight to the nba draft to check it out.

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

I'm really hoping there is an difficulty level that is just right for me...

That is my only gripe with most video games....

If they have a default level where I lose to teams I should, or be nearly perfect to win... I can't complain at all...

I did notice one thing, I didn't see anything talking about scouting before the draft, I never felt you got enough info from how it is currently set up
