NBA 2K11 Demo Available Now, Impressions and Discussion Here (360,PS3)

What makes most of yall complaining about learning how to use the new controls think that Elites controls are going to be easier? Since everything is about physics & control with them you still have to learn the dribble moves and the shots too.

Also you don't have to cross people all day to score you can literally score by just rotating the ball to the right person and using screens and picks

Ive played real basketball all my life probably longer than you've been living. Ive pulled off every move shown thats not the problem the problem is consistency

Anybody else notice how the camera flies up and down on what you do, locking ont o you and players feels just like real tv if i'm not playing i just caught Ray ray with a pump fake and cut to the whole thinking i was going to dunk in my 2k10 ways and Kg and B davis said hel naw and swatted my jont throwing me on the floor

Guys, don't start discussing Elite here.

I dont try and and1 may way around the defender, or use 3 or 4 different types of isomoves I gave up on it but people said it takes time so im still trying to get it down but i just cant get it. the more and more i try the more and more i run around the court, or do just a simple left to right crossover, or do a sizeup when i didnt intend to maybe i need a practice mode with no d in front of me to get it right first, or an absolute relative control scheme I think i said it in another post on here but what gets me by a defender or creates separation is only because its on pro diff and kobe blows past how ever is guarding him i know its not about doing this and that with the ball but once again i cant do nothing but a simple left to right or right to left crossover on a consent basis. while that works sometimes i get tired of doing that and want to do something else

The problem is there is nowhere you can see the controls listed.

People don't know the Iso-motion controls and that contributes to ALOT. LOT LOT LOT.

Go there, read up, and experiment. It's tough to do in a 5v5 game situation, but try your best and you'll get it.

yes i have played ball irl but thats not the problem or the point. its moving the sticks the right way to get the player to do what i want them to do

and i never said i have problems scoring. I win every game i have played on the demo. I just want to learn how to fully utilize iso-motion

Consistency isn't a problem when you know how to play basketball son, You must've been a center then lol but i'ma guard so i think i know what i'm talking about if my highschool basketball team with to the semi finals. I'm playing the demo right now and i just bounce the ball left to the right then back to my left i saw ray ray start to go left so he was biting so i brought it tougher to the right like i was going to drive then cut back giving me seperation. I would do that in real life if i was on the court its commen basketball know how sense

and that longer then me thing don't fly son. Don't matter that Sam cassel been playing basketball longer then Rondo. Rondo is just a better basket ball player

NBA2K11 FAQS and IMPRESSIONS: 1) The framerate, graphical detail, and animation transitions are the smoothest I have EVER seen in a sports video game. Absolutely sensational. 2) The new controls are spot on--after you work to figure out the timing and usage maneuvers. HINT: It is very sensitive using L2 trigger dribbling controls. Hammering away left and right and half-circles will get you nowhere. You will look jagged and sluggish. IF, you master timing and execution and move the Lstick deliberately you will get better results. 3) Shooting jumpers off the dribble using the shot stick is absolutely incredible this year. I have NEVER liked using Kobe Bryant in 2K (particularly 2k9 and 2k10..and not because Lebron James is my favorite player THOUGH i know Kobe is better-for now). His jumper didn't tickle the twine like it should and doing his signature moves didn't flow well. NOW?!?!? OH MY GOD. The Black Mamba is finally the MONSTER he should be. And will be and absolute nightmare to defend. 4) The animations are sensational. Wondrous to behold. Paul Pierce's jumpshot (PHOTOREALISTIC), Rando's one-handed ball fake, KG's shimmy pull up mid and PAU GASOL'S BIG ARSE HEAD! lol ...are all some of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in a game. Everytime I saw these things or variations from different players I had a BIG SMILE on my face. 5) People saying it has an NBA LIVE feel to it need to realize the truth here: Mike Wang was the lead designer for 2KSports for years. He left 2k last year and went to EA Sports and helped them turn NBA Live from completely abysmal to oustandingly mediocre but fun. Now he's back at 2kSports were he "belongs". That's a quote from him. His heart is always with 2k. His own words. So anything you think feels like Live actually feels like Mike Wang because Live didn't feel that way before he got there last year. And won't feel that way ever again. Bet on it. 6) THE PRESENTATION IS AMAZING!!! This is only the demo and player introduction pics on the load screen are fantastic!!! The shot of the arena? Fabulous. The "galaxy stars" backgrounds on menus, photos, statlines, and in game subs are simply beautiful. The sound is spot on. AND THEY HAVE A HALFTIME SHOW IN THE FULL GAME. 7) We haven't even fell in love with the Jordan modes yet. OR Played with King James and Dewayne Wade in Miami. Or checked out the new robust My Player and signed endorsement deals. 8) Can you imagine how incredible the full game is going to be? Just.....WOW! lol It's going to be absurd. 9) NBA2K11 will be the best basketball videogame ever made. MARK MY WORDS. Every b-ball game will be judged on this bar 2K has just set. Bravo 2K Sports! Bravo! In the words of Jay-Z: "Clap for 'em, clap for 'em"....

Fam u said everything that I wuz goin to say about it. I played Live lasted yr & only got bcuz I wanted more control over my player than canned animations in 2k. The monent I played the demo, as LeBronistheKing watched me, I fully understood how to use Iso-motion. Wang is the reason for all of this & I feel its da greatest thing to happen for 2k. Wnag changed da game of canned animations to being able to break out of any move(the right way mind u, not just when u think it should).

Please ppl take the time to learn, breakdown, & enjoy all the new additions to the game. Games are meant to change not to stay da same so please ppl approuch 2k11 as a whole new monster & not what we're used to.

The one thing i want though is to see how all this goes down with p2p games
