NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: The Art of Passing

[Eman5805]

Sweet. So glad they've addressed the overhead dealy. And seems like the graphics took a slight leep as well. Game looks WAY different now.

Wow. Chris Paul looks a lot like Chris Paul now, and not that...monkey thing from before.

And I friggin' love his (and only his) kicks. What I don't love is Al Jefferson rocking OUR Jazz unis, but that's more a gripe with Utah than with 2K11.

(highlight the below for off-topic ranting on the Jazz)
Damn it, that color, that name belongs to New Orleans. Jazz has nothing to do with Utah. It's New Orleans birthright to bear that name. Not friggin' Utah. I got nothin' against Utah, but give us back our team name! It's a friggin' mockery, I tells ya! Pistol Pete must be turning over in his grave.

On the other hand, what has made me a little precaucious is that with all this new arsenal: fake passes - lob passes - bounce passes - hand tips passes - wràp passes - kick out passes ... they have seem to make the post game even more dominant ? (I am guessing that they have also addressed the offensive moves downlow) ... hope that the effectiveness of the passing rating really comes into play (and that the post defense and help defense were also addressed) or it would be even more enticing to go for a paint fest.

Or you could look at it as this making the game have a more true to life inside out game.

I think they did do an insight on defense so im sure some counters are in place

Yeah and some of this hopefully...

seriously hope cp3 has his fake bounce pass that he uses in transition

Great insight. I'm curious if we will be able to use the fake pass while inbounding as well...This could help deal with those FC Press, Steal button spammers.

Believe me ... I more than welcome the new passing features as, like you have pointed out, it expands the game and makes it more authentic ... then again, while the article about offense and defense had me pleased ... post defense seem to be not quite detailed, specially after seen this insight.

Thus we would have to wait for vids where some off & def post moves are shown to truelly appreciate what has been done ... or ... Da_Czar could elite us up with his impressions.

Regardless of the results, 2K11 its a must own, as it is shaping to be the best bball videogame ever.
