That's all I needed to do was play the 2K11 demo. It's improved over 2K10, sure, but still looks and feels eerily similar to the last two 2K releases. It's still in the same shell of a game.

I'm still trying to get this down. You have to do it manually, not like last year, correct?

I think the last post I made in this forum was after Mike Wang came back on board and I had said something about how he could show his skills (and the rest of the dev team) by aiming for the same precision and responsive controls that Live 10 had and that it was that area of the game that had always needed fixing.

Well after playing this demo, I am not convinced. It still feels like your controlling a bunch of bodybuilders out there and to make things worse, the animation simply seems sped up and missing frames (especially on the pump fake).

I guess it is just the engine. There's some things it simply can't do.

I didn't like defending either, where my guy was standing still and without me even pressing a button or direction, he was sucked into a defensive animation and pretty much shadowed the ball handler.

There are a lot of good things, I like how (on PS3) the graphics seem to be anti-aliased better this year (jaggies a lot less noticeable) and the overall frame rate doesn't seem to stutter like 2K10.

The player movement is brilliant too. Guys are fighting off screens, cutting, it all looked great. Something 2K has made huge strides in.

But then you see 'framey' pump fakes, the same ugly passes and a lot of other moves that you can tell are from a mo-cap actor 'performing' rather than actually being captured during an intense scrimmage.

Might be the first year in ages where I play a year old bball game because the 2 new one's simply don't cut it.

Ah.. I noticed he mentioned commentary too, but I thought he was just trippin'.
