An Early Look at NBA 2K11 (Slam Online)

[VDusen04]

In SLAM's defense, it's SLAM, not a game-centric website. It's going to drop general info on the masses. Plus, it seems it was a pretty limited look.

I want someone to tell me that Take Two and Visual Concepts isn't asking everyone to shut up about the gameplay. It all makes for pathetic journalism. I would love for one writer to come out and say.

I'm not a Jordan fan so I stuck to playing the game.

You will not hear that and knowing that makes it all so fake so I care less about the game.

I think the write up was decent but didn't give us a whole lot info on the game. Plus I didn't understand why he didn't list the flaws in the game in his write up. But overall it is a decent write up but he could have don't much better. Thanks for posting this Steveo as always.

If anyone from SLAM needs more info, I'm pretty sure any of us who haven't even played the game yet - can help them with that.

[Sam Marlowe]

Interesting.

Can you dudes read? Didn't he say he only had an hour with the game? How much of a preview did you expect?

[Boge]

Great. So they're trying to get us to mimic Jordan's career rather than spending more time on making the game better.

Morons.

Stopped reading after this:

The game wasn’t a perfect replica of MJ’s game in ’86 — for instance, in 2K11 it was set in the new TD Banknorth Garden, not the old Boston Garden — but it was pretty damn close. The players wore short shorts, and the rosters were perfect.

Was a 2K employee standing over this guy as he was writing it up? Or is this site a joke. They can't write a complete negative, so save it with "rosters are perfect", when they're supposed to be!

Its not the same Arena, but as long as there was short shorts and the rosters were "perfect" - what does that even mean) then its good enough?

Ya I'll take that car you have for sale, no problem that it has no engine and wheels, at least it has a stereo cause I like music...

Am I way off here?
