Czar,
good video, but what ever happened to the rest of the 2k10 vs Live 10 battleground, it seemed as though you stopped after round 3.
whats up with that?

What's up Tril I made a blog entry that said I was stopping the BG to work on a special project (10 teams 10 days) Only have so much time available my man so I thought it would serve the community best showing you 2k11.

Oh quick note for all the serious hoop heads in here. I am going to make some of these very basic as I am hearing from a lot of people outside os who watch these that are new to 2k or new to the sport so there may be more basic stuff coming that you are already very familiar with. Just hang with me as I try to get the rest of the audience up to speed.

the more basketball literate we ( all of us) make the casual gamers that is one less excuse companies can use against adding more strategy to hoop games. Really glad you guys enjoyed this one.

Thats a good thing for me. Even though i might know it its still good to always go back and look or think about it again. Its the basic simple things that people forget in every sport that would help you get past those games that you are playing on hof and you start to get frustrated because you cant do anything. Its like in school towards the end of the year you have to review and refresh your memory on things you learned in the beginning of the year because you have learned so much more and the things you are learning gets more complicated as the year goes on

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Strategy Session: Volume 1 - Defensive Settings

It would be nice if having a low awareness caused a player to occasionally "forget" his assignment.

If I assign a player with low awareness to guard Ray Allen and set off ball to "Deny Ball" I would like to see that defender occasionally not actually do that if his awareness is low enough.

Or if their "hustle" rating is low they may be a bit lackadaisical once in a while in fighting through screens or leave the shooter open in another way.

[oo7Soxs]

Nice stuff! I like seeing those small tweaks since i last played. Also happy to hear that defensive ratings matter this year too. It looks all in all like a real basketball game, not a video game.

Preferred Matchups for the win.

I sure hope those don't work like the "Defensive Matchups" last year. In 2K10, if you assigned Kobe (SG) to guard Rondo, expect the bench SG's who will be put in the game to be guarding the opponent's other PG's as well. It was position-based not player-specific.

Czar, can you confirm that Preferred Matchups is player-specific?

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Strategy Session: Volume 1 - Defensive Settings

Preferred matchups are a HUGE game changer for me if they work properly.

Last year if you changed the players your starting 5 matched up against it would lead to complete confusion on the defensive end and usually resulted in an easy bucket or uncontested 3.

From all the positive vibes coming from the defensive AI logic this year, gotta believe that you can actually match up how you would in real life.

Big ups to you Czar!

Every day that passes I get a little more anxious to play this game! Now I can jump for joy that the Cheeze will get burned like a big fat Saganaki!!! CHEA BABY!
