NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: The Art of Passing

[blues rocker]

i'm not sure I like the bobbled pass thing...i think it could end up getting annoying if your teammates are bobbling a lot of passes when they shouldn't be. it's fine if they are bobbling in appropriate situations, but unfortunately I can see the game forcing them to bobble when you made a perfectly good pass.

Its not always about the pass, sometimes it is about the receiver not having good hands, sir. It happens.

You might mean Creating a Legend. I don't think you're locked in the Jordan Challenge.

Do we have the ability to choose who we throw the alley-oop to? It was taken out after the patch. It was really annoying when I would point the left stick towards my dunker but the lob would go to another player.

I'd still like the ability to choose what type of pass to throw, like 2K7. Couldn't they have added Maximum Passing from College Hoops 2K8 to the left shoulder button since dual player controls are now on the right shoulder button?

Phew. I was hoping the Jordan Challenge was not locked.

I really don't know if it is or isn't, but I definitely don't remember seeing anything saying Jordan Challenge was player locked.

Duncan is a good passer and Shaq and Howard are decent the problem was that they would pass it when they were already comitted to scoring. This really stood out when guys like Zach Randolph would make such an unselfish play.
