NBA 2K11 Preview and New Screenshots (IGN)

[Onpoint17]

One thing Im wondering about is that pic of the Miami Heat starting 5. Those are cyber images. Does this mean we'll get to see our CAPs and rookie draftees in the same way if they're in the starting 5 of an NBA team? This could be huge.

Its always good news to hear "Its not finished yet"

Great point. That would add a lot to the immersion.

This preview sounds great i cant wait to get my hands on the game, and another minor detail why does Chris Bosh still have dreads? i mean didn't he cut them?

According to Ronnie2K, this build is far from the final one.

Yes it could. Man it would be disappointing if they were just gray images this year. You bring up a good point though.

Good read...looking forward to more info. They still don't got Boshs mug right but should I really give a crap anymore?

Anyone over the age of 12 should know that its a work in progress, game releases in October, we're in July, its a no-brainer. To me the "Work in Progress" overlay is pretty condescending.

Anyway, maybe its because I'm from the Atari 2600 era, but when I see these early screens, I think, "Looks great", when the next batch comes out, I'll think, "Looks great too", and when the game releases, I'll think, "Looks great as well"
