NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: The Art of Passing

[Jonesy]

Wow I can't believe i had been sleeping on this thread. So much awesomeness.

Just checking are there 'pre-loaded' touch passes in this year for quickly swinging around the perimeter?

On a side note with so many Chi-town guys in the office i can only imagine what the mood was like the day you guys found out you had the MJ exclusivity deal in place. The staffroom would have been rocking that day.

The mood was insane, even for those who are not necessarily Bulls fans but fans of greatness. I'm a huge Bulls fan and even bigger MJ fan so you can imagine I had trouble standing up, but our art director (male) screamed like a little girl. It was a very awesome announcement.

As for your question about passing, the answer is yes. It's the same as it has been in previous NBA 2K titles, where you queue up a swing pass by pressing the pass button while the ball is in the air on the way to the 1st receiver.

I tweeted this a minute a ago. But decide to come up here and ask.


Will the give and go feature be making a return? It was L2 and R2 and then press X to get the ball back. But I think to post-up is now L2 and R2. Does that mean its done or been moved?

Sounds like they are hitting the little things that were overlooked last year. Keep up the good work

Bad passes are so much more risky in 2K11
