Gasol is rim level going for that rebound. The crazy vertical for the bigs going for rebounds and block shots really does stick out like a sore thumb. I was thinking once I get the game I would turn down the vertical ratings for all the bigs, but I don't think it's going to help. Normally when dunking and shooting the ball, the vertical of the bigs looks fine. It's just that when they rebound/block shot, it is as though it's already predetermined that they're getting the rebound/block shot (and the animation complies) even if it's way out of their vicinity. This didn't happen much (if at all) in 2K10. I really wish they had just stuck with the rebounding dynamics of 2K10. Hopefully a patch can fix this problem of bigs flying around rebounding and blocking shots that are way out of their area.

I didn't read the thread so bear with me if this has been brought up already but here's what i took out of this video.

Bad:
1.)Moving out of the "little blue circle" can disrupt the play being called. It looks like the game takes this as you're about to go one on one which is pretty cool but there were times when the guy just got bumped out of the way by the defender and the play suddenly ended.

2.)On fast breaks, or fast break potential situations the entire defense gets back. This happened mostly when memphis got a defensive rebound but it happened more than once.

3.)This only happened once but when a team runs back on defense on a miss when there isn't a fast break, there shouldn't be big on small mis-matches. I don't want to see mike conley guarding greg oden and then zach randolph runs by him chasing nicholas batum without them switching. When i play against the computer they make that switch every time, why can't user controlled teams do it.

4.) I didn't see who got off the bus after rudy gay did in the intros but i did notice they were wearing the exact same thing. that will get old real quick if thats always the case.

Good

1.) The spacing looked good, and when plays broke down for the most part the offensive teamates didn't automatically get in the way.

2.)On the mismatch play i was talking about where greg oden is posting conley (or maybe mayo don't remember) when the grizzlies doubled and oden kicked it to the opposite corner he didn't look like drew brees. the pass was a little off and batum had to adjust.

3.)someone said pick up miller on the first play of the game. wasn't the most opportune time because he had the ball and it was obvious but i liked that they used his name.

4.)post game looked pretty cool, aldrige stepped back and hit a face up jumper from 10 feet and zach randolph played below the rim. I would love to see how an athletic big played in comparison. will 2K ever give custom advanced post move packages? (on a side note i think there should just be a footwork slider that controls what sort of moves you're able to pull off but i digress)

5.)overall looked pretty slick with the new sideline reporter and the opening scene. the whole smart offensive team thing was pretty vague and i'm not sure how smart the grizzlies are in real life but i like that there are comments about teams that can be applied to teams in the future. if i have to hear about how the knicks leveraged their future for cap space the year before and didn't land lebron 5 years into association mode i'll be pissed. but if it references a big pickup my team made, or that i'm a strong offensive team with my 2010 rosters, then i'm a strong defensive team with my 2015 rosters then this game succedded tremendously in the presentation aspect.

6.)I didn't see anything too crazy that pissed me off so that's always a good thing.

Let us all take a minute to thank the basketball videogame heavens for Visual Concepts. Where would be without 2k11 this year....in basketball oblivion!

Yeah. I was going to tell this. I was wondering why they are referring to LA as the passer and Oden being the supposed receiver.

It looked like the ball went over LA's hand to me as well.

Cosign this. I play with the Nets and I can't take watching guys run around in pink shoes on a pink and blue court. Come on man.

Alot I wasn't really feeling in this video compared to the other ones, all been pointed out though. The bigs souring for rebounds is gonna be aggravating..

I also can't get over the fact that sometimes the ball looks like it weighs nothing or how it doesn't even touch the floor sometimes.

Really enjoyed watching this video after playing a bit of Elite earlier today. 2K11 looks like the half court offense is an integral part of the game. I noticed in Elite that it is up and down, make a bucket. But even in the 2K demo, that is very is difficult. By the video it looks like running plays reaps the bigger rewards!
