The arena interiors were redone for deeper authenticity.

I hope this means that the AT&T Center and Verizon Center have both been updated/improved.

The more intuitive shot stick is quite encouraging. Because it felt very weird in the last game to do a runner or a leaner. I hope they've changed that. If I hit a face button while holding the stick in a direction, that's where the shot should float. Gotta conserve momentum.

Nice Find.....I kinda respect 2k's approach of not letting out too much information at once..it seems mature....i can't wait to see gameplay videos tho

i hope they put the trophy patch on jersey doing nba finals. and make the fans more hyped come playoff time. and on assocation mode if a team doesn't have a good record make the seats empty, what im saying is every single game doesn't be sold out in real life basketball. when two good teams play then have a sell out arena. because the fans were annoying during the season and playoffs. because it was unrealistic it's like they didn't know when to cheer sometime. and 1more thing if the game is a blow out please show the fans leaving the game instead of just sitting there like their team are going to come back and win, thanks 2k im looking forward to this.

Sounds good so far, cant wait for some gameplay vids later on down the road.

Iso-motion not scrapped. Hmm. The intrigue rises yet interest loses a bit of steam. I think 2K is scrambling to try to come up with their own control scheme and not look so much like they're copying Elite's; sorta like finding some type of middle ground between the two. Whatever the case, I think Iso SHOULD GO completely.

Can I ask you why you feel 2k is scrambling as if they arent capable of having their own plan?

**** presentation, player models, crowd reactions, coaches. All those things you do well already. Get the ****ing gameplay right! 2K10 takes no skill to pick up and play. All you have to know is turbo, shoot and steal.

Both years while Mike Wang was gone 2K released two pieces of **** with regards to gameplay. I'm not holding any premature prejudices towards 2K11 since I haven’t seen or played it. I am however disappointed that 2K failed to produce a game that resembled BASKETBALL both years. Whatever their reasons, they better get it this time around. Their number one focus needs to be the fundamentals of basketball.
