NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

[cdotharris]

If you have an opportunity all I would like to know is the trade logic of the CPU and the team building aspect of the CPU if it is what has been advertised you don't have to go into any details a simple yes or no would do for this question. Thanks in advance if you are able to answer this question.

This is likely due to frame rate issues that will occur if the same reflections are on PS3; and that, would be an engine weakness. That'd be hard to patch. Not to mention that there never will be any uproar. There never was any. And even in the rare cases where uproars do occur, companies tend to not acknowledge their existence. Or when they do, down play it as a minority. Here is what 2K might say, if you ask them about PS3's being gimped: (most companies do this) 2K Sports is dedicated to delivering the best, most authentic experience of basketball in a video game. We believe that our game is the best on the market, and our loyal fans can atest to the quality and excellence of our games. We continue to improve on what is already the best basketball game every released on any console. It is the believe of the entire 2K team to release only the most polished and refined products, and we know that you will not find a better basketball gaming experience than NBA 2K11. And this is supposed to have addressed the issue...

The sad part is people here are also downplaying the jaggies and difference in responsiveness to a mere calf sleeve/headband issue. Some are even arguing that this is a TV issue but the fact that the 360 does have an excellent raw video output regardless of the TV makes this argument invalid.

If people will look at it this way then I guess we will not see a very polished 2k game for the ps3 in this current generation. What really pissed me off a little bit is that they had more time to add some PS Move features and they had no time to fix a very important detail in today's video game generation.

That's a very bad news to me at least but hey at least its a very playable and enjoyable game in my opinion but I am still a little bit disappointed though.

Baseballguy basically said yes but I'm not sure if the jaggies are as bad as the demo's jaggies.

baseball, I understand what you are talking about with the jaggies and the colors washed out on the ps3 version, but let me offer a solution I believe I have found. I have a 50 inch Panasonic Plasma, and what I did was sit farther back from the tv, but at a comfortable distance, and to alleviate the somewhat bland graphics, I cranked up the RGB Color Range to full, and I could immediately tell a big difference, It was alot more vivid like the xbox. You should try this, I think it may make things more aesthetic for you.

Could we stop talking about PS3 vs 360 here? It's more interesting to actually find out about gameplay enhancement then talk about which court is the shiniest in which version.

Another note: It really does look somewhat ugly if you sit too close to the tv, but with a good distance and the rgb on full, I think this game rivals the show aesthetically. Tell me what you think...
