NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

[eko718]

My favorite small additions:

- Intra-Squad Scrimmages: Another new feature this year is the ability to run Intra-Squad Scrimmages with your team. Here, we pit the starting 5 against the best of your bench players. You can choose to run with the starters or with the bench unit. This is a great way to get some time with some of your lesser talent in a ‘game’ situation without having to worry about Ls piling up in the loss column.

- D-League Utilization: CPU teams will now be making effective use of the NBA D-League this year. They will be sending down young players who aren’t getting enough playing time to ensure they continue to develop. Remember, the more playing time young players get, the better the chance they have of reaching their full potential. If you draft a player and stash him on your bench for a few years, his development will take a significant hit. Give your players every opportunity to develop into all they can be!

I wish we could edit D-League rosters to real players. That's about the only thing I can really gripe about right now. I'd say 1 gripe, pre-release, for me is a pretty incredible accomplishment.

Man!!!!!! Games like NBA 2K, The Show, FIFA, and NHL are really going above and beyond to be as deep as possible with their sports games. I hope the Madden team is reading.

Every time it seems like these top notch sports games are out of ideas...they blow it off the charts even more. Especially The Show and NBA 2K!!!

In the beginning, God created 2K11...

Does the league pass sign in the middle hold any significance, like maybe a nightly wrap up show or is it just advertising?

- Classic Teams: I’ve seen so much discussion on this in the forums despite us previously confirming this. Yes, you absolutely can take our classic teams into Association. This means you can bring any of Jordan’s Bulls into the league. Equally as fun I have found is to bring in the Malone/Stockton Jazz and the Ewing Knicks alongside the Jordan teams. It’s an interesting wrinkle to the Association formula that people in the office have been enjoying for months now!

Heaven! Can't wait to have a classic teams legacy.
