cool

Hmm, 2k11 is still very much a mystery. So far the other hoop game looks more fun, and most of all, new.

Never said that 2K isn't capable. I think EA's somewhat revamped 1:1 controls puts pressure on 2K to come up with something just like when DNA came out, 2K suddenly comes up with their own, lesser version of it which looked like something they scrambled to put together to match EA's new feature.

The Shaq shooting 3s is a glitch that happens when you use custom rosters as well as leaving players roles on ... you wont be seeing this unless it is a shot to prevent clock from running out.

The gameplay of 2k10 is as deep as you could wish, maybe not as responsive as we would like (2k8), but you cant even compare it to any other existent basketball videogame (includding its own past versions).

Even more, the game as a whole (presentation-graphics-features-gameplay-sim engine-editability) is by far the most deep sportgame within the genre.

Thus that does not mean that it is perfect in any way (look at the wish lists) or that doesnt have flaws (as it came with an insane mutitude of glitchs with some new arising from the patches) or areas for improvements: like defense and control responsiveness.

With Wang (within the main responsables of Live10 upgrades) and the CH guys on board, we should see noticeable improvements on the responsiveness and facets we are all ineterested in. I have no doubts that 2k11 will be even more deep and complete than its past itinerations. And for the record, I also no doubts that Elite 11 will surpass Live 10.

uhh...dude seriously? 2k has yet to show what the new controls would be like and you think they are scrambling? i mean...wtf...the info were all given out at E3 at the same time its not like 2k was waiting to see what the competitor is doing......the logic that some of you....good god....this was like the number 1 complaint.....scramble? mind boggling...

This game is sounding better and better everyday man. I cant wait to see it in action. What would you guys think, late August when we start really seeing it?

Dude, I'm just giving a train of thought to 23 to answer his question. If you DON'T think that whatever they called their answer to DNA was wasn't 2K looking over their shoulders at Live, you gotta be kidding me. I could see if Live came out with it one year then 2K did their own, more realized version of it the next but that wasn't the case. They scraped something together after DNA (365) was announced and it looked as such. Was it one man who was supposed to updated NBA2K's data or something like that? C'mon, son.

And to say that's not what's going on, now, with the controls is a valid point yet and still, 2K hints at a new control scheme but doesn't want to give away details in the face of EA's onslaught of info on revamped, 1:1 controls. Even in this article, 1:1 controls is uttered for the first time by 2K when it wasn't before. Now 2K is going with 1:1 controls, eh?

Maybe some people's logic is different from yours but, here, I see a similarity to what happened with another feature, before. THAT'S where my logic stems from.
