Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A (Those That Have it Early, Confirmed)

Do CPU controlled teams in Association really send player down to the D-League this year? Last year the CPU never did it

Yes they do. I didn't pay much attention to who the players were, but there is definitely activity.

Can you box out? It was very easy to grab a guy and box him out.

I havent really seen much evidence in videos and I could barely do it in the demo.

I haven't had any issues boxing out. L2 on the PS3 will box out. I've seen a few over the back calls as well.

Support Bump, Support Bump. I think this is a huge part of association and really want to know what is up with it.

Adelman retired after the first year of the Association that I simmed, and I just simmed the 2nd year and Phil Jackson and Larry Brown both retired.

I don't understand that Suns-Bucks trade.

Why would the bucks want steve nash when they have Jennings? I thought 2k got rid of that issue.

Ehh, I was afraid of that; according to your simulation assistant coaches can't be hired as coaches; all those names are generic head coaches from last year

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A (Those That Have it Early, Confirmed)

I know this is probably a dumb question.. but how do you back down defenders? only time i can in the demo is when the CPU is already backing down.. also im asking for 360 users..

[FSUnoles32]

Can anybody with da game tell me how is da all star game audio and presentation

[bigluca]

i was wondering if gallinari's shot has been redone? last year it was so generic and didn't feel like him at all.
Also, i was wondering if poster dunks have been redone? i feel like last year they were too common, and not mean enough lol, like really in your face dunks, how are they this year? Will you see Amare ride some guy as he smashes it in?

Holding both triggers will initiate a post up anywhere on the court.

1. I think the rookies are random, not pre-determined like in Madden.

BUT

2. Pretty sure you can still DL draft classes from 2k share and have actual players from college in them (i.e in 2K10 at the start of your assoc you could dl the draft class for Wall, Turner, Cousins, etc)
