That enhanced control insight gave some good info on defense. But we should really be happy that we're getting all this info. Past years at this time, we'd be lucky to have more than a trailer and a simple preview out.

Spoiler alert: If it happened in real life, it'll probably happen in the game. That's the idea.

Also, everyone on Lost died.

For starters, every single one of the challenges (which date from his rookie year to that "final" shot against Bryon Russell and the Jazz) features every player that you'd care about. Whether you're talking about Horace Grant on the Bulls, James Worthy and Magic on the Lakers or Karl Malone and John Stockton on the Jazz, they're all here. What's even more impressive is that they all have their signature moves and styles in the game

Quote:

there are even special animations for embarrassing Jazz players (stripping Malone and breaking Bryon's ankle). In other words, if there's a moment from Jordan's career, some image that is etched into your memory, it'll be in NBA 2K11.

Not only will every jersey and stadium be authentic, but the 2K commentary team recorded custom dialogue to match each situation..... It's cool to hear Kevin Harlan talk about Jordan's feelings about playing against Hersey Hawkins and know that it actually came from MJ himself....

Authenticity.... Authenticity to the umpteenth degree in the bold... It sounds like they really nailed all things involving the G.O.A.T.

(yes, you can absolutely do the free throw line dunk in-game)

Uhh when keeping it "real" goes wrong . I'm sure casuals will love something like this especially if and when they pull it off and didn't know it was in the game. Still something I don't want to see, but I guess I have to give MJ the pistons treatment when I'm playing against him to make sure he can't even began to elevate.

If you hop into the The Flu Game you'll hear them reference Mike's temperature and his performance in earlier games in the series. Not only that, but 2K also recently sat down with Jordan himself to get some of his thoughts on his opponents from way back when. It's cool to hear Kevin Harlan talk about Jordan's feelings about playing against Hersey Hawkins and know that it actually came from MJ himself.

These cats really want me to make this purchase. I definitely a bit skeptical about the whole MJ thing but the great lengths 2K has gone through to recreate those Jordan moments literally causes this $60 of mine wanna jump out my pocket....but I still need to see what's going on with the gameplay impovements....yet I can't front on how all this is helping me reminisce about my being a Bulls fan days. The NBA Network has even had game 5 of the second Bulls/Jazz Finals on, recently, as well as a special on Scottie Pippen. Thoooooosssseee were the dAAAAAAAAAAAyysss. Ha.

somewhere outthere messenjamatt is smilinng.....these models are great. I'm sure 2K has gone to great lengths to make this game as authentic as it can get. However I'm also sure we can edit whatever we (individually speaking) want for any player (at least I hope, don't be a shmo 2K and freeze us out from player gear and move edits like you guys do when the all star teams are announced). fingers crossed

If Chuck ain't apart of the line-up, it ain't authentic! Being able to play the triple overtime game from 1993 with the Suns would have been the best thing EVER!

[aloncho11]

Well there are licensing issues with Charles...don't think the 93 Suns will be included...
