If you abuse an exploit in a video game, you're labeled as a "cheeser" in the video game community of whatever game your playing, period. Let's not get carried away!!

People "cheese" at work all the time. They kiss their boss' butt and take credit for other peoples work. In reality, they don't work and are typically useless to the operations of their job. I've worked with plenty of these "cheesers".

Well DUH...theres always going to be exploits but with the simulation mode theres going to less exploits than before. which means cheesers will have to rethink there strategy. for example on a fastbreak a cheeser may just throw it up for a alley-oop everytime....at least thats what they did in 2k10 but hopefully in 2k11 thats going to be tuned down which makes the gameplay better.

Just give me the nba average of 23 fouls per game, and 27 FT attempts and ill be fine. rarely in an online game do you see more than 5.

I love fouls and contact

For me, I'd love to see this and more realistic shooting percentages.

This is one heck of a test for the development team. Through the sheer numbers they can throw at the task, cheesers have found a way to turn every iteration into Exploits Are Us.

Will they they finally be able to make it so there is a strong disincentive to even try to steal spam, relentlessly double team, stick wiggle to the rack, inbound pass camp, full court pass heave, and any other classic cheddar boy tactics.

Good luck with this Herculean endeavor gents.

If you've kept up with the developer insights at 2K Sports, you'd know that they are offering a new feature called "Gamestyles". Gamestyles are preset settings that cater to the specific slider. This was also a great feature in NHL2K8, and it's nice that Visual Concepts is finally adding it to NBA2K. This goes far beyond than just selecting a difficulty level like in past NBA2K's. The simulation gamestyle is a set of dedicated settings that should reflect a realsitic game. For instance, the Insight pointed out that it should be nearly impossible to abuse the baseline when using the simulation gamestyle.

Beautiful. And since over 85% voted that their Gamerstyle is simulation(sure) between this and the 2K forum, there should be no complaints.

That's nice to hear!

I might start playing online some day. For the first time ever, I tried online with 2K10, but I guess I just didn't get how it works. I waited and waited until someone logged on and the game started...and then the guy was gone. After that, I promised myself not to try it again. But things might be better with 2K11...we'll see.
