NBA 2K11 Video: From the Demo at Gamescom

[eko718]

No wonder we get very little game footage from 2K early on. Its amazing how poised people are to complain with no regard for circumstance or conditions.

1. This is a demo of an unfinished product
2. The Gamerstyle is confirmed to be on casual
3. The default setting for pretty much every 2K game has been pro; if this is on default as confirmed, there is no reason to assume this video is on any other level
4. There is a human player involved, hell bent on double teaming every possession and getting to the rim at all costs.

Basically, it makes no sense to comment on how the game plays based on an unclear(dark) 1:00 video with all these variables. In fact, most should realize that the only way to truly get a feel for the game is to play it; loose gameplay vids will only provide general impressions unless a developer is narrating showing specific elements. Im going to watch closely all these dudes -itchin and moaning about how this game is a dunkfest and the same as last year. We get this every year, and guys change there tune eventually every year when detailed information comes out.

So you mean Casual mode is broken???

Great, just freakin' great.

Shooting %’s will be slightly higher than real life, there will be fewer fouls, slightly more dunks, more and 1’s, etc. “Let ‘em play hoops” so to speak. Casual: This is the setting you want if you like up and down play with lots of dunks and highlight moments. There won’t be a whole lot of stoppages and you’ll see higher scoring across the board. Arcade-style play is probably the best way to describe it. Simulation: Real life stats. This is my game style of choice. With 12-min. quarters, you will easily see NBA averages across your stat lines. Don’t expect anything easy in the paint, you’ll have to work a lot harder and execute good basketball strategy to be successful in Sim. Custom: If you manually modify sliders and settings on your own, the game slider will automatically change to Custom.

Yea this is what I was referring too...I had the wordings mixed up..I was thinking Casual was the middle level while Sim is Sim and Arcade is Arcade...

Well... in that case, it's pretty cool.

The speculation should've stopped right here
