NBA 2K11 Video: Coaches Korner with Da_Czar (Part 1)

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Coaches Korner with Da_Czar

The AI plays smart on both pro and all-star. Its really up to how well your timing on your jumpshot is and how well you can create good looks on offense. I just recently moved up to all star.

I tell everyone I can to start on pro sim. With the sim setting the cpu is going to play good basketball. you don't HAVE to be on all star. The thing is on All star the cpu is so tuff on defense that you will have to restrict your moves to the few you know and really you need them all on command to play all-star and above.

You don't want to be thinking about what button to press on allstar you just want to see the opportunity and react.

When you get stops on defense the AI has to protect the basket on a few of those opportunities if the opposing pg didn't guard the wing player I could have hit him with the pass for a possible layup. Sure they should probably switch back sooner but you don' t want them leaving a guy wide open just to switch back.

EDIT the mismatch at 8:05 gameclock was because we had our sg matched up with their pf on the other end then when the shot went up the sg took off and their pg then picked him up. as I mentioned above hopefully most of them make that kind of sense. I haven't noticed anything alarming but I have been making videos more than just playing so IDK.

The second qtr was a totally different experience. 2k11 so far to me is not a static experience. Where once you see how a game is going that's the end of it. They seem to adjust and play off what you throw at them.

THANKS FOR WRITING BACK, you are a busy man, and still responding to questions and you totally don't have to do it, based on what you are saying, I think I would have enough fun on allstar already, but then I am really curious what would happen on superstar and HOF, have you tried them yet? I hope the AI won't be cheating at those levels like they did in the past just to keep the game more challenging, I really hope to get another answer from you on this question, thanks....

Not a problem I do as much as I can for my brothers who don't yet have the game. I remember what that is like. As to your question.

I have not played on superstar or HOF yet. The people who have that I have spoken to have not mentioned any cheating. You just have to be very very sharp with your execution. Admittedly you have to commit many fewer mistakes. Please understand that is 3rd party. I have not played those levels for myself.

I like to let the game challenge me where I am at. As I get better then I look for a new level so I won't be even dabbling with those levels for a few weeks if ever.

That is why I love 2k bball. Finally a game that rewards true sim strategy. I'll be spending my first week in the practice gym. It's time to dig deep into association mode guys

Apparently on HOF they just don't slip up at all or miss their timing windows on shots etc. I wouldn't say it's cheating, but I think it becomes more like a fighting game than a game of strategic basketball at that level against the AI.

Great vid czar! I particularly like how you play 50/50 on ball and off ball and show everyone that if played right playing off the ball can be SIM too whether your playing against the CPU or human.

IE: You chased Jackson around a screen once when he was trying to get open without the ball. On a different possession you were Baron Davis, and the guy he was guarding passed the ball you still stayed with your man after the pass. You would also double the low post when you were on the strong side of the floor. You even switched to bring a trap from opposite high post.

That is a chess match and SIM basketball boys and girls & 100% SIM strategy to all those who think it's cheese! Glad to see the leader of the SIM nation playing SIM basketball for all to see!

Can't wait to see the rest of the quarter and half! Good stuff!

Re: NBA 2K11 Video: Coaches Korner with Da_Czar

This is what I like to hear Czar. I gotta admit that watching the Bobcats in this video I was wondering if the CPU was even trying. What you said about the second qtr and the game not being a static experience leaves me with a lot of hope.

Good work as always Czar! Will we get to see that second qtr at all?

Intelx

Yeah man there is a crazy ebb and flow to the games. The computer seems to react to how you play them. Then you have to understand the clippers are a different team without Baron on the floor. When he goes out we loose something and it changes our attack.

Plus in the second qtr it wasn't until 3 minutes left in the second quarter that we had another mismatch on baron. Plus remember my gameplay was built to try to limit their stars effectiveness. So what you saw was my gameplan working...

Whats cool is despite my gameplan they made a game out of it at one point I believe they get within 1 point.

Fun fun fun.

(I say you're giving Baron too much credit Czar!) Bearded BDiddy is sometimes more of a detriment than a solution at this point.

yes you tap the left bumper and the icons come up over the players heads. then press the button of the player you want to run the play for and his 4 plays will show up. Then just press the button for that player.
