Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

those alley ops, dont scare me because i know we will kill those off with sliders day 1.

however help defense is way too late in this game and also every cut is guaranteed 2.

i wish defenders would chip guys trying to slip to the hole. also dribbling is a bit too easy for everyone....

2k's demo sucks. I feel like I'm playing 2k10. I feel like 2k is trying to sell us on Michael Jordan, cause other than that it's the same exact game as 2k10.

This demo is growing on me as i learn the controls. Does anyone know about the 2k servers. I know they are getting new ones but does that mean 2k will be playable online because last yr i could not get through one game online.

Also does anyone know if there will be a seperate section or screen for online because the way it was in 2k10 was horrible

its like they were trying to save disk space

Or could it be that they were not worried about online. Seeing everything that 2k is doing towards gameplay with 2k11 and trying to make it as close to real ball as possible, adding all those things like dynamic attendance, jordan modes, and the other things they have done to association could they be gearing this game towards offline players as in the other game is better to play online or against someone else?

Not likely as they had their online gaming since dreamcast times, and there is no way any gaming company would be in a direction like that so.

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

Just threw this up on 2Ks forum, figured it's pretty relevant here too. As always, please don't bother telling me someone said this already, I don't have time to read all 196 pages of posts.

I get that people are nitpicking because it's the little things that make the game, but people also really need to understand what they're looking at with this demo. Don't take this as an indication that every little problem people point out is going to be fixed in the retail, but this is not the finished product.

Animations, graphics, AI stuff, all of this is going to be more polished. No, not perfect, but better. You know what drove me nuts about EAs demo before I ever played it? How long it took to DL. I DL'd and installed 2K in like 10 minutes. They took out an awful lot of a build that was already not finished. So if they don't have every animation like walking upcourt standing up, or no reflections on the court, don't assume it's not in the game at all.

In regards to game play. As Mike Wang (I think it was him) pointed out in one of his developer insights, there are three preset game style modes. Now, under the assumption that 2K is trying to make a DEMO accessible to as many people as possible, what is the likelihood they choose to make the demos gamestyle 'simulation'? Pretty small I'd guess. Here is Wang's quote about DEFAULT settings:
"Kind of a hyper-realism. Shooting %’s will be slightly higher than real life, there will be fewer fouls, slightly more dunks, more and 1’s, etc. “Let ‘em play hoops” so to speak."

People jumping higher, dunking alot, getting to the foul line, hitting crazy turn-around fade aways, rebounding like a gazelle, all of those things ought to be expected here.

Don't turn away from this game because it's unrealistic. SIM ballin' is definitely growing but they can just as easily turn people away because they're new to the game and try the demo and find it too dificult.

Re: NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

Ok guys, just wanted to ask a question about something concerning the PS3 version. I don't have internet access through my PS3, so haven't been able to give the demo a try.

In 2K10, it sort of felt like the controls were just a little awkward. It's hard to explain, but something just felt off about controlling players. Now I've seen that some people have discussed that the PS3 demo version is a little jagged graphically (although some have said there is no problem with the graphics). Do the controls feel a whole lot better, and feel more realistic in the demo, as compared to last year's game?

Just thought I'd try to get some feedback. Again, it's kind of hard to explain, but it seemed like the graphics sort of made the controls a little weird last year. Just my opinion, but that's what sort of bugged me about the game. I had played the 2K series on the 360 until last year, so maybe it was just the system adjustment. I never had any problems or felt awkward with the controls on the 360.

And kind of like everyone else has said, I know the demo isn't the final build, so I know there is no right answer here, and that things will likely improve before the final build ships. Just want to get a feel for the demo control-wise, since I don't have access to it.

Didn't real like sifting threw pages. I dont know if this was in 2k last year, I know it was in Live but, I just got called for an illegal screen with Gasol. I hope there's more off the ball fouls this year.

IN a sense they do and in a major sense they don't the first tiem you touch them your going tolook like a pure idiot no lie but you'll learn them quick ther not taht steep as long as you can relate to playing basketball in real life then you should be good just remember don't tap the left trigger and lightly move the thumb stick don't jerk it or thats where the stupidty will come from

Kobe kicking out of shot to Gasol for Three. Looks like you aren't the only on to do it. SN: Rare things do happen in real life, so they will happen in the video game world also.
