NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Expanded Playcall System

[domidomdomz]

Thanks for the heads up about the delay, Czar. Real classy.

Are you going to release series of videos with all the 30 teams in it? Like 1 team (or 2 or 3 teams) per video?

IRL when a player is traded most instances he will get plays out of the new system that fit his abilities. With the exception situations like Boston where they kept some of Nate's boston plays to help him get comfortable. So in theory ( I didn't play with any trades) if you trade a player and he meets the criteria to run a certain "type" of play those are the ones the cpu will call for him. Of course if it's your team and not cpu controlled your free to assign any plays you want to any player or bench position so that shouldn't be an issue.

WOW! That's insane. I would buy this game even if it had 2K10's gameplay.

So 100% no video at 8 pm or is the delay just a possibility?

Yeah its just my luck, I was bragging about how I had today off so I had all day to wait. But it's cool though.

Da_Czar, I have a question:

I understand that this year the CPU-controlled team will call plays, change to different plays etc. etc.. Now, I rememeber seeing teams in real life setting plays, but sometimes those plays don't work for whatever reason - and so the team would give the ball to their star player, who would just improvise and try to create something out of nothing. My questions is, does it work like that in 2K11? I mean, I don't want the CPU to just run play after play without realizing that the shot clock is ticking and that it's time to improvise. I want the CPU to realize that the play didn't work and there's not much time, and to put the ball in the hands of the star player and let him work.

So, is that the case in 2K11?
