NBA 2K11...Best basketball of all time?

[authentic]

After playing a couple games of NBA 2K11, expecting it to be the same game as last year, same old animations, I find myself feeling like I was playing an entirely new game. I admit, I probably wasn't going to buy 2K and was going to buy Elite instead. For me, and probably a bunch of others, Elite not coming out might have been the best thing for everyone. They now have no choice to play the best basketball game there is. I have been an EA guy forever, but it is hard to pass this game up. I think this game is probably the best sports game that has ever came out. The commentary makes the game so much better, and not to mention the presentation, which is the best I've ever seen in any sports game. But the game seems like it has changed so much in the actual gameplay aspect. Now instead of having the feeling that my players are going to fall over when their sprinting, it's like their actually running and the new animations are so plentiful, that is hard to see repetitive moves or shots when driving the lanes. I didn't check to see if there was any threads like this already so sorry if I made a thread that has already been posted about, but personally, I put this as the greatest sports game of all time, no questions for me.

It is quite good. Definitely one of the best sports games ever, but I would still give the crown to The Show.

I was playing it for hours on end today and it is a truly beautiful game, animations are sound and not like it was last year, last year it was very robotic. Definitely, no doubt in my mind, the best basketball game of all time. It is the deepest by far as you can do so many things (my player, MJ challenges, multiple associations as there are so many fun teams to play with), it just blows me away. If I were to rate it I would say 9.7 out of 10, only because I feel nothing deserves a perfect rating because something can always be improved.

Man, Elite getting pushed back kept you from looking dumb.

Don't take me serious man, figure of speech I'm joking.

Lucky for you...you ended up with the right game. I vote yes, best b-ball game all time. Even finally beat College Hoops 2K8 (except no Highlight show like CH2K8)

without a doubt.

Easily the best.

I haven't seen this much positive response from a game. Some say honeymoon phase, I say look back at NBA2K10: Day One, we had complaints!

Heck even The Show had complaints this year (redundancy being the biggest one).

Gotta give it to Mike Wang!
