Official 2k11 Impressions

''I simmed a game between the Lakers and Thunder.

Kobe scored another 52, Durant scored 47.

Durant took 25 threes.

Whose idea was this touches tendency?''

From Rashidi over at the 2k forums. Lulz @ this fucking game.

All i see on the 2k forums are people bitching about sock colors.

pansies...

...and shoes.

NBA fans are real particular about shoes.

Reminds me of the old NCAA hardcores in the PS2 days that would bitch about the visors.

LOL....

I LOL'd too. If he's too old, then I shouldn't even be gaming.

[Misogi]

Well, if you're a point guard you have that option, in My player. He was referring to My Player.

Yeah I knew how that was in my player. I'm a SG but they put me in at PG and SF so I didn't know when i could do it and when i couldn't.

Or the MMers who were bitching about hand towels on Madden. Pretty funny how things that have no effect on the gameplay are such big deals to some ppl. But hey if thats all people are complaining about then that means the game is pretty solid.

There is actually a ton of shit wrong with this game. The computer does absolutely nothing on both sides of the ball. I shouldn't HAVE to call a play on offense just to get players to move. Isomotion gets you sucked into animations that can take 10 seconds to get out of. People don't do bounce or lead passes when they need to. Stockton should not have 8+ turnovers when I'm playing smart basketball. The whole thing with players running up 10 feet every time I try to go for a steal is great too.

Not gameplay related I also love when I do the entire 1991 Series Finals in the Jordan Challenge, get the 31+, 11+, 50% Jordan stats complete (i checked it right before my last game ended), and then the game says I didn't complete it. All that for nothing. Awesome.

The game runs and plays as smooth as any sports game I've ever seen, but the fundamental basketball within it is flawed as all hell.

[Tengo Juego]

Am I out of touch, do people really give that much of a shit about something like that to make it a viable investment?

Srs? Do you not know of the Jordan brand religion?

But, to answer your question: Yes, it is a pretty big deal to a large number of people who play these games. Myself included.

[DJ Rhude]

yeah the more I've played I'm starting to see what others are talking about regarding the player tendencies

One game Bargnani took 12 threes against me, that's wack.....he doesn't attempt nowhere that many IRL...

The game is also heavily titled in the superstars favor, try stopping Kobe or Durant and you'll see what I mean......they take WAY too many shots....seems to be a tendency problem which can be edited but who the fuck wants to do that

I'm waiting for re-rated rosters from OS. I already have a great set of pro sliders.

My player mode is starting to piss me off. It's fun to play and all but it's heavily flawed.

I mean my player is a 40-something overall 2nd round PG with 1 year of college experience. If I create this same player and sim association mode dude would never see the court. He'd be a project player that might improve enough in a few years to get PT.

But in my player mode 10 games in I'm the 6th man and the team force feeds me the ball to point where it negatively effects the team. It breaks the rotations, because they sub me in at SG which makes no sense, and forces Grant Hill to play the 5. And Nash won't run the offense he just passes it to me every time.

I know the mode is just some glorified create-a-player for ppl who want to create themselves and score 30 a game but still...I'd rather struggle and have to earn everything than have it handed to me. At this point I'm just using it to hone my skills before i dig into association mode.

I like the game, don't get me wrong, but all these "it's the greatest sports game ever!" comments make me wonder if we live in a planet filled with lemmings.
Forget the unstoppable CPU for a moment, why does everyone give a free pass to the canned animations?
I got a halfcourt foul based on nothing I did with the sticks.

I still love the game (even if it pisses me off), but people are so fawning over it, it makes me wonder.

Yes, it's 1000x better than Madden, but that's hardly a benchmark.

I'm not even a big baseball fan, but I still wonder if MLB: The Show holds the title as the greatest sports game next-gen.

Maybe I'm just biased because I absolutely suck at NBA2k11 and have to work hard to succeed at the game. I just want realistic stats, not my ass handed to me every game (on fucking sim pro!).

It does.

Amazing game, from the gameply to the graphics to the depth to the realism. And the best online experience i've had since Madden '03 or NHL '95.

The Show still gets the nod over NBA 2K11 if were comparing all sports game across the board....I'm still playing the Show and I've never played a baseball this long into the season.....it has the better franchise mode as well, probably one of the best ones I've ever played

But NBA 2K11 is the best basketball game to date if we're keeping the comparisons strictly to basketball
