The NBA 2K11 3D impressions thread...

[Court_vision]

The 3D patch thread has been turned into another complaints thread with 90% of the posts complaining about online issues...so, can we have a thread solely for 3D impressions?

Firstly, how big is the 3D patch for those who've downloaded it?

What's the 3D stuff look like? I've read some impressions from the guys who got it via the early deal that it's literally like being on the court. Is it that immersive?

Do you get headaches etc playing it in 3D?

I know WTF and Momentus are going to try it in 3D...would really like to hear their impressions + others who've got 3D capability at the moment. Cheers in advance.

I played one game on the 360. My thoughts:

• The patch doesn't seem big(I dunno the size). It dowloaded pretty quick.
• You get to turn pick with 3D effect matches your TV and there are sliders for the intensity and depth of the 3D effect. NICE TOUCH.
• Ther is no real added gameplay element with the 3D But it most certainly adds to the atmosphere big time.
• You can see the 3D effect most in the cutscenes and overlays. It's more subtle in the gameplay and not obtrussive to gameplay at all.
• No headches at all
• My one complaint - I can see the overall graphics are downgraded to achieve the 3D affect. Not really bad - but noticable. *disclaimer* I play on a 73inch TV so any jaggies or imperfections stand out to me.
• Overall thumbs up. A nice extra for those who have a 3D TV but not a must have.

The only thing I don't get is, why even make the 3D game version for PS3 if they're going to release it in the patch?

Interesting...thanks for your input man

You have got a seriously nice set up...73 inches + 3D

The D/L is 4MB and yea, I noticed the jaggies as well. I'm on a 50inch btw.

My biggest concern with anything 3D is comfort, I don't mind wearing the glasses but I have to be comfortable if I'm going to sit through anything 3D for an extended period of time. The sliders are a very nice touch indeed, if you feel like your eyes are straining then just bump them down a notch or if you don't feel like it's 3D "enough" then bump them up.

To piggyback off of Glenn's post - cutscenes, overlays and manual replays really stand out. FT's look good too, I was at the FT line with STAT and Turiaf, who wasn't originally in view, bent down to put his hands on his knees and his head popped up in the foreground in the corner of my eye.

I felt perfectly fine throughout the half that I played (12min q's)..no headaches, dizziness etc. I'd have to play a couple games back to back to really test that out though.

I'm gonna play some more tomorrow, I just wanted to check it out since I got in pretty late but overall it looks like a solid addition to the game. Basically, if you have a 3DTV then consider yourself lucky, the already awesome presentation and atmosphere is only enhanced with the update. There's no reason NOT to use the 3D features if you have the means to do so (unless they make you sick or something of the sort).

For those without 3DTV's, I wouldn't tell you to go out and get a 3DTV now because you just have to experience this. Yes it looks awesome but if you've seen something in 3D then you know what it looks like. Nothing revolutionary.

Re: The NBA 2K11 3D impressions thread...

The 3d effects, for the most part are really good. It brings the game to life, but, and you knew it was coming, the 3d does suffer at certain parts of the game. It took me a few minutes to figure out the settings. During actual game play, the affects are top notch. Its gets bad during cut scenes & time outs. During these periods of play, it seems the 3d effect was changed to a different setting. You will lose some focus, and i think that's where the headaches come into play. Again, it's only during none gameplay moments that i have seen this. The actual game once you begin to play is beautiful. The players look much more realistic. The arenas come to life. the replay will be your best friend. i have spent to much time in the replay section, just moving the camera around admiring the graphics. Playing this game in 3d, seems like a whole new game. P.S. im playing on the 360 with a 55inch sony 3d full 1080p tv. with hdmi setup and 5.1 surround sound. You may not care about 3d, but it's what's up. Everything seems to get better with 3d, whether it's a video game, movies, or sports.

Anybody that have questions, i'll be happy to try and answer.

You can't play the 3d version on a regular tv.

Incorrect.

I downloaded the 3D yesterday for X360. The patch was about 4MB. In the Options/Settings menu you have a 3D Settings menu, with 3 choices: 3DTV, Red-Cyan, Green-Magenta. I play on a 42-inch LG LCD HDTV (no 3D) so I went ahead and chose the R-C (although I have both G-M and R-C glasses, R-C looked better).

I cranked the settings up to 100/100 and it was okay. I'm sure having a 3DTV would help a lot. I was playing MP. The actual game graphics looked really good. Cutscenes not so much. Playing with R-C/G-M of course the color range was a little smaller. Also took a while to get used to shooting.

So it's possible with a non-3DTV but I'm sure the 3DTV experience is a lot better. Not bad for a free update, that's for sure.

Just downloaded this patch. Is this all that was in this patch?

Ok, i didn't know that. So what kind of glasses do you use. I have one 3d tv and one regular. I want to see how it looks on a regular tv. I agree, the cut scenes are way off. I just turned off the replays and cut scenes. So again, what kind of glasses do you use for regular tv's.

just read your post again. Where do they sell those other glasses at? Never knew they had so many different ones.

What's wrong with the cutscenes? I thought they looked phenomenal when I was playing last night.
