New NBA 2K11 Trailer

[flyboy703]

other than the euro step and slightly more physicality this game still looks the same as 2k10, but as beluba said they arent showing a lot of 2k11 stuff. I hope 2k is going to give us more control over the players this year because im getting tired of being stuck in animation or if i want to stop for a pull up jumper i got charging into the player infront of me for a dunk or if i want to pull off a dunk i stop and shoot a jumper... in 2k animations is what makes and breaks it... they look good, but it is so watered down with them its ridiculous..

Nice trailer but I would prefer a wall of text that informs us of what's new and what not but I guess its better than nothing.

So far no "Canned" animations but its a trailer so nothing confirmed yet.

By the way the video is coming along well so what if it's 2k10.5 I loved 2k10 sooo keep up the good work 2k....

As general theme here, people who are perceptive and can contrast will see the small additions to the already stellar presentation. The Jordan Logo atop the TimeWarner arena, rondo and nash interaction, the lebron head and ball fake, all are new additions. People who are fast to pass everything off as the same, or looking for what I dunno, will not see anything. If you don't know what you're looking for you won't see it, ever. Fans of the series for longer than 2yrs can see the many differences and improvements don't to the engine. Naysayers and the uninformed just can't get much out of preview trailer. Kobe and Vince drove across the lane and it resulted in layup/dunk with the strong hand, In 2K10 thats a jumpshot. Only the informed would know why they showed that. I loved it.

That's not entirely true. In 2K10, defenders get "sucked in" animations if they are close enough to the offensive player performing an action. If you shoot over a defender that didn't challenge the shot by pressing the corresponding button, they'll still put a hand up.

Or when a player dunks and there just happens to be an unsuspecting defender nearby, he'll get "sucked into" an animation where he's getting "posterized" like Kobe did Dwight Howard or T-Mac and Shawn Bradley.

How about that funky animation in 2k10 (post-patches), when an offensive player commits to a shot in the paint (or near it), and he ends up flailing about as the defender gets sucked into him with his hands up?

I can keep going on and on about scenarios in 2K10 alone, but my problem with the trailer is that I see some of these same animations. If anything, what LeBron just did in the trailer makes me cautious. I pray that they did not bring back the infamous up and under from the three point line crap from 2k9. Not only did that move suck in the defender, but it also had a 75% rate of success regardless of where the player was on the floor.

like i have always said 2ks animations make or break it... sometimes you try to run one way but you cant because you are locked in an animation and you have to wait until its over stuff like that kills the gameplay, yes it looks pretty and nice and all, but 2k is so incomplete they just need to give people more control over there players

That's more like a "2K10-post-the-desired-yet-never-created-patch" version. It's just a shame that people are deciding whether or not to buy 2K11 based on that. Oh well...
