NBA 2K11 Review

[mauro78]

I think that 2K11 is great couse Basketball in my opinion is one of the hardest sport to simulate. So it's a 9's ....9.0 or 9.5 as you prefer....

But I'd like to see a little less contact/ force field between players. In other words they just need to work on collisions: If a quick SG/PG goes full speed in transition defenders will have hard time stopping them like in CH 2k8. Many times SG like Wade are stopped by defenders too easily. This is the only problem that I complain about 2K11 gameplay. Also control can be improved even more....but great improvement over 2k10 ^_^... maybe with a patch.....

Aside from this I would rate "The Show" a little higher than 2K11 becouse of athmosphere and authencity that brings. Also Pro Evolution 2011 is outstanding from this point of view, really impressive. 2K is improved but I thibk it's a step down in respect to Show or PES.

But 2k franchise has an huge potential maybe the greatest of all....I can't really imagine what they will bring us with PS4/XBOX 720 hardware....

Hola!

NFL 2K is very much needed. Madden is being allowed to slide with no competitor in its market. We're forced to be consumers in a SELLER's market, when it comes to professional football games. If there was a competing product, (NFL 2K, of course), we as the gamer would be able to choose from two products that we developed with the competing product in mind. This would produce a Better product for us, the consumer. That, my friends, would be a BUYER's market... and that's where we wanna be. For the record, NFL 2K on these NewGen consoles would go H.A.M!!!

I agree about the momentum and the controls not being precise. But, surely you guys can't compare HS ball to the NBA. The lanes should close much quicker. You understand if they change the things you guys are talking about the game would just turn into a cheese fest again. It's a sim game, we finally have a legitimate sim product and people are still complaining. Trust me we don't want the inverse again.

YES!!!! We finally do have a sim game and I am so petrified they will patch something and turn into the dunk PIP fest that has plauged all basketball games...and I mean all of them.

Please 2K do not patch the defense and keep this game tight and challenging. The only thing I see are visual aid glitches and according to some Association bugs...do not tune the gameplay....we can do that with the sliders.

This game rocks...don't give in to the culture shocked dunkfest arcade players. They have their own mode...it's called casual.


Please.

In fact I will make sure I do not DL any patch until I see clear evidence that it did not amp up the offense.

The game is bliss. Thank you again 2K for a wonderful early X-mas present.

And if you have never played these games inside and out you can't just push them aside and say NBA2K11 is better. Demo's? Impressions? That is not truly playing the game and I would never feel anyones opinion to be credible unless they played the game, all the modes, and really gave it a true test drive. You don't review games based on demos. That's nuts.

100% right on all accounts. Based on a demo. Lol. Opof course he's the same guy whi gave 2k a free pass for their baseball effort.

It does not have any kind of cover system like gears of war or Kane and Lynch or mafia 2. It does not have a environment destruction engine like Red faction or kane and lynch or mafia 2. From that perspective its behind the times, but it has a large following and the game ain't garbage so it still gets high scores. The other games may bring more to the table game play wise, but wont get those scores or equal scores through they have a better feature set. Where in this thread does anyone complain about Madden getting a 9 ? The point trying to be made is, if Madden gets a 9 with the features it released with, How can NBA2k11 with what it has done also get a 9 ? If Madden had the feature set 2K11 has and 2K11 had released with Madden like feature set, I would still ask the same question. How does 2k11 get the same rating as Madden. So thank YOU for proving my point. You the one with the "agenda." Who are you ? The leader of the Madden defense Squad ? You got a real bad habit of taking someones post and presenting YOUR interpretation of it as the posters. If your reading comprehension is distorted because the word madden touches you so, maybe you need to put us "agenda" posters on ignore. You can't handle it man.

How exactly did I defend Madden? Its painfully obvious what I posted was beyond your skill level. You simply don't know any better. It's also painfully obvious I hit close to home hence your need to so vehemently deny your agenda.

It's quite obvious the main complaint from you and your fellow militia leaders is the Madden score. Wrong thread ton discuss that.

Not to mention comparing scores of different games based on different sports by different reviewers 3 months apart makes no sense. Other than to complain for the sake of complaining.
