NBA 2K11 Eyes-On Impressions: Looks Are Everything - For Now (Kotaku)

[Beluba]

Please don't mistake our being hush re: our feature set as a sign that 2K11 is just another incremental iteration... you'll see in time, that's far from the case.

Also, I've known Elite's direction for quite some time now... so why would we be scrambling?

I'm interested in seeing how momentum will play out when it comes to shooting with the RS. The real problem that 2k has to overcome is the erratic movement. Fancy animations only make up for so much. If they can implement some decent control then their signature style, animations, and MJ(hopefully among other legends and teams) will keep them on top.

Most of us realize that Beluba...I dont think any LOGICAL poster would look @ this info and think "wow theyre scrambling to keep up with competition" ....lol.

You know how it is B. Its exactly the same EVERY YEAR. "2K is hiding their game", "VC hasn't changed anything" "Stale, engine, tired, wash, rinse repeat."

You stated that they already were "planning" to re-work the dribbling before Wang jumped ship.

Nothing happens in Wang's absence.

Wang comes back to 2k sports after spending a year or so with "the competition" and NOW they're ready to make changes.

There's nothing wrong with that. It would be foolish not to take something you see as positive from the competition, and try to somehow incorporate it into your own product. It is also foolish to believe that everything Wang saw at EA wasn't shared with the 2k crew.

As Phil Jackson would say "Give them(the competition) some (expletive) credit."

Mods: Sorry in advance. I will stay on topic from now on.

Well hopefully soon we can get news on something other than looks and presentation. imo they did an good job on this last year.

Nice read. I ain't really touch NBA 2k since 2k7. I'm hoping this will be the year I get a newer version of it. But good read.

At least 2k's "LESSER" version actually has an effect on gameplay unlike nba lives dna bs.
