I haven't been that excited about a 2K basketball since the Fear The 'Fro Fridays!

Great, great read. And nice pics to go along with it too.

Good stuff!

One thing I'd love to find out is whether three-point shooting 4/5's like Channing Frye, Matt Bonner, Mehmet Okur and Rashard Lewis will spot-up out in the perimeter? And, will the individual spot-up tendencies effect where guys camp on the court?

I dunno bout that. NBA 2K has sounded like crap for years, now. Too many home made sounds going on. Live has had them beat, at least in that area for at least the last 3yrs with last year being unbelievable. The sound goes a long way in making u feel like your "in the game".

Now, as for what was talked about in this blog, me likes. Sounds good. Have issues with the players in those pics, especially Gasol. Doesn't look like his facial profile and his arms look wild short and a bit too much muscularity going on. Guess he wasn't stretching before doing his curls in the gym or sumthin. Ha.

At any rate, I still like what they are talking about here. Eager for more.

Anybody else notice that the Heat bench is finally on the right side?

Slow down.... slow down and wait for some real proof in some gameplay vids and then the demo,it all sounds good in early August. Things don't always come out like we think they will after devs and company's hype their game.
I do think this year will be good for bball games from both ea and 2k , but neither will fully deliver what we all want and alot of the same problems will be there, trust me on this.

But I think both games should be fun not perfect but fun this year.

Tendency to attack strong: Some players like to bull their way through the defense when attacking the rim, while others shy away from the contact. That should now come through in NBA 2K11

A.K.A. the LeBron James/Vince Carter ratio.
