NBA 2K11 Preview and New Screenshots (IGN)

[23]

Look guys

Can we please focus on the topic at hand

Lets not turn every topic into 2k vs ea

or another wishlist thread.. it clutters threads and takes them off topic

Good for the additions.

Some of the things were already in the game last year though like mid air collisions. It's how well they were implemented that wasn't really discussed.

As long as we are getting more control, I'd also like how long you press the shot stick to affect how long your player jumps for the jumpshot. If you quick release to beat the buzzer etc I'd like your player to fling the ball a bit more instead of having the same animation either way

More user control is good, but where is defense thing in this preview? Off the Ball Control taken from Live 10 is gonna killing this game.

When you are good at OBC, you can dominate the game in the paint.

No improving defense logic plus OBC = disaster.

If OBC control didnt kill previous 2ks nor did it kill Live, I highly doubt its going to kill 2k11

I wish the guys here would spend more time discussing what was said rather than what wasnt covered yet

I'm probably the only one here who doesn't like that Euro Step. First, I don't think it's that common in the NBA, it's not like it's a must for every player. How many players really use it every game?
And also, it's a cheesy move that might be used by the CPU, just like that hop-step layup in 2K6. Do you guys remember that move? The CPU would perform it at will, while for us it was automatic with no control over it. Now that we have control over that new move, if you play against someone he/she will probably do it every second posession. I hope 2K did to it what EA did to the hop-step in Live 2005, after it was a cheesy move in Live 2004. I just don't want it to succeed every time, I really hope the defense can fight this move.

I really really hope there's a tendency slider for the Euro-Step. I'll probably set it very low for the CPU.

Who says the defense logic hasn't been improved? IGN didn't have the final build so we have no idea.

Jumping to conclusions seems to be a fad on these forums.

Good preview. I'm excited. Graphics look good, I'm not a graphics nut and 2k10 had great graphics IMO. Gameplay changes sound good. Can't wait to get my hands on the demo.
