NBA 2K11 Demo Roundtable

[Kaanyr Vhok]

I'm surprised that realism wasn't credited as the best thing about the demo. In the past Kobe was more of a threat slashing than pulling from mid range and so was just about every other swingman. That departure from real basketball seems to be rectified more than a little bit and consequence of that change has given us a far more realistic, balanced and fun brand of videogame basketball.

Agreed. Now I do agree that the guy is reaching, but it's not like he step on your mother's big toe.. The demo is sorely lacking, but if ANYTHING, people are more upset because it's SUCH a tease. Would you be upset with an ugly girl teasing and tempting your, or a gorgeous girl teasing and tempting you? To the people most upset with the settings of the demo, this game is Jessica Alba rubbing up against you wearing nothing but a towel...

Really now ?

How many people really care about 2 player on the same console nowadays in this generation ? Majority of people play 2 player via online this generation not on the same console.

So I really don't see how a demo can improve or hurt a game sale that much. The fans of a series will always buy it every year. A game really only convert 5 to 10% people over on a yearly basis.

If you a fan of a series and always have been, what one game has or don't have won't sway your opinon.

One of the biggest difference between the Live series and 2K series is the controls. You have those who love isomotion and those who hate it. That has always been the case for the past 10 years.

Visuals and what not, can be over looked. Controls schemes however will either make or break somebody's preference.

Both 2k and Live will continue to sale to their base. Neither demo will cause a mass exodus of fans flocking from one series to the other.

i was a sega fanboy. I've ben playing 2k sports game on line for ten years. name calling shows your age an any one thats thinks there god gift to any think is an idiot. MY point is NBA2k is a much better game then EAs. But new comers or people that dont follow 2k on line and just wait for the demo to there mind on what title to pick . will be disappointed with this demo, they change the iso my lil cuz didnt know that so he was like this wack. All his college friend talking about the ea game ( witch shall remain nameless) im tell him all the things that going to be in the 2k game a he trust me so he's going to pick it up but there are a lot of people like that and i still thing that ea will have a better demo not game demo that will show the new features in there game. i hate ea an their on-line pass $hit

This opinion is very valid. He's talking about casual fans who don't normally play NBA games or ever hear of operation sports. Those fans will not notice the subtleties that we do.2k has us on lock this year but they want to expand their audience. Jordan will do that but this demo did not help with capturing those people.

I love the demo by the way. Same thing every year for me -- I start off thinking it's just ok then I fall in love with it. CAN'T WAIT.

Has anyone seen the PRESS CONFERENCE FOOTAGE over at 2ksports.com?

I know that is knda off topic but there's no thread about it here. HO-LY SHE-ITE! lol

NBA 2K11 WILL BE THE GREATEST SPORTS VIDEO GAME EVER MADE.

And that my friend, is not hyperbole.

Btw, i posted my impressions on the demo in numerous threads. I'll repost here to stay on topic .

That is all.

The fuss is about the intelligent AI, the smooth movements, the amazing style of play, and the way they captured every player down to the T in terms of playstyle. @EA, you have to actually make a decent product to earn a profit with your games. This is clearly a troll or idiot I responded to and I feel really bad for the kid (he can't be older than 12, right?) because he hasn't played a real basketball game yet. Go back to your board and enjoy dunking with Dwyane Wade over (through) 3 people (YEAH, I SAW THE VIDEO homeboy).

Do you know what an opinion is ? People are entitled to have opinions about the game you hold so dearly. Chill.
