NBA 2K11 Videos: Bulls vs. Blazers w/ Doris Burke Commentary (Gamespot)

[RIZDRAVER]

I love the new dunk sound when MJ throws down that one-hander! Ba-boom. The new horn/buzzer is also far more realistic sounding. Great job on the revamped audio 2K.

The presentation is fantastic. This game is just loaded with content.

Typically, whoever owns their estate. Which in most cases is probably a relative.


After watching this video, this is definately a first day purchase.

I do enjoy the commentary in this game, but sometimes big plays are left untouched because of the carry over of conversation they are having. Take for instance Jordan's dunk in this video. They are talking about something non-related and when they are done they leave no commentary for what Jordan just did. It would be nice to see a little bit better commentary transition there.

They already branch out of commentary in 2K10 to say "OHHHHH!" when a crazy dunk happens. They should be able to branch out of a commentary piece to say something like "As Jordan puts that one home" and then lead back into the previous commentary by adding a quick phrase like "As I was saying". Actually you wouldn't even need to add that lead in phrase, they could probably just pause a second and continue right where they left off. It should feel natural.

fail because the NBA finals logo is the updated version not the same as in 1992 and its inside the three point line back then it was closer to half court!

It appears they still made huge leaps in every other aspect of the game and I'm not attempting to sound like an apologist, I'm just suspecting things. They seemed to have gone so far above and beyond, maybe there was a point where it really became "Do we continue with every tiny detail of this Jordan Challenge or do we address some more current art issues?" I love me some classic NBA basketball but it's about to become an "ignorance is bliss" situation for me real quick here. I would have never thought twice about the midcourt line running through the Bulls logo for instance, had Aloncho not just brought it up. Though, I do think the court looks a little white. And not that it really matters, but Jordan looked about even, if not behind the last defender when he caught that outlet pass on the dunk. I'm not sure if he necessarily would have been all by himself there. I've been a defender of our youth throughout this process so I guess I'll continue that trend now. The fellow you mentioned appears to have some sort of gap where his general NBA knowledge should be. I was born in the 80's but I know Wilt dropped 100 points, not 93. Point being, there's a lot of youngsters out there that still hold MJ in high regard and are more than familiar with the history of the game despite being born after particular historically occurances occur. My brothers, born in '96 and '98, are just two examples (well informed about the likes of MJ, Rick Barry, Shawn Kemp, etc). It's just a shame there's other guys out there giving the youngin's a bad name.

LOL you keep thinking that.. You knew and can remember Wilt because 100 is unique..
