NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

I'm thinking back to a month ago when people wondered aloud whether this year's release would just be "2K10 with Michael Jordan". This is an absolute heap load of information, and it's all tremendous.

As JMood stated, even if some of this stuff doesn't work correctly, it's still going to be tough to say 2K is not addressing concerns. In fact, I feel they've added enough that in theory half of it could be broken, and I'd still be happy.

WOAAAH, this is unfreakincredible, it's just amazing.

I'm totally convinced the A.I will work as intended due to the Team States logic. I remember I suggesting something among the lines a couple of years ago to Erik (Team Roles), and man, did he (and the whole team) deliver?

The Association sounds like THE franchise mode to play, it sounds so complete, full of depth and polished. While reading the insight I kept wondering if some stuff was going to be added, and the text just kept delivering. I'm super lucky and happy that basketball is my favorite sport.

Just look at how the gameplay, the playcalling, the My Player, Association modes are all improved, add all that to Freakin Jordan, classic teams, improved presentation... and ALL of the other stuff I can't recall due to excitement... wow.

Not only they fixed all of 2K10's issues, they also added a lot of stuff that simply puts this game in heavenly status.

We are really lucky to have such a Developing Team working their butts to make a game we love better and better.

Thanks for listening to the community.

SimBaller, Beluba, 2k team, I am completely sold.

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

Un-Freaking believable...

I'm at a loss for words with all these improvements. That Thunder trade for J-Rich got me even more hyped because it was the A.I. doing it and it makes so much sense!

Just please October 5th, please for the love of god hurry up

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

we can still control every team in the association if we choose to do so right?

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

One thing that really irked me was seeing steve nash and a few others retire after such high level of play.... Will players still retire at a certain age even if they are playing elite level basketball?

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

wow, this game sounds absolutely siiiiick, i have been looking for this kind of basketball game for a long long time, it sounds like this association mode might even surpass mlb the shows franchise mode, so much stuff implemented to association mode this year makes me feel like a little kid waiting for christmas i might have to take off work on the 5th.. haha congrats to all nba 2k11 dev's for really working their tails off to put out a good product this year, no go home and take some much needed vacation and family time because you guys did some great work!!!

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

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

Yeah this is gonna be great for me trying to make my Knicks a contender. I can find players suited for exactly how I play.

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

My only question at this point (that I didn't even think about until the insight mentioned the D-League): Will D-League generic players be editable this season?

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

"As you guys can see, we’ve put a lot of work into The Association this year. So many developers out there tend to ignore their franchise modes for years on end."

Ouch. 2k just landed a stinging blow to someone.

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

I feel bad for these dudes families. Daddy prob aint been home in a minute. How could they have off time when they added all this stuff. It is absolutley incredible. 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.

i am with you.

100%

no more silhouettes baby! time to play deep into association finally!

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

I felt like I was stealing when i put the full 65 on it, like i still owe them money(which is a good thing). To the 2k devs, I am truly happy to see a company who actually looks out for its customer and that truly puts in its best effort and listens(very rare).

If this doesn't get sports game of the yr than i will sue the video game websites and shows!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

Very impressive, if all this works smoothly and nothing is broken this game has it all. They set the bar so high with 2k11 i'd hate to be the competition.

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

Good work 2k!!

Re: NBA2K11 Developer Insights: Association

Seems like they are setting up the perfect "owner" mode from madden 06 for next yr. After all these changes I'm trying to think about where could they possibly take this next yr to up the ante again. What do you guys think?
