NBA 2K11 Online Games Confirmed For Simulation Gamestyle

10:44 PM - August 16, 2010 by sleepytercel

It has been confirmed that all NBA 2K11 online games, including ranked, will be set on the simulation gamestyle.

If you've kept up with the NBA 2K11 Developer Insights at 2K Sports, you'd know that they are offering a new feature called "Gamestyles". Gamestyles are preset settings that cater to the specific slider. This was also a great feature in NHL 2K8, and it's nice that Visual Concepts is finally adding it to NBA 2K11.

This goes far beyond just selecting a difficulty level like in past NBA 2K's. The simulation gamestyle is a set of dedicated settings that should reflect a realistic game. For instance, the Insight pointed out that it should be nearly impossible to abuse the baseline when using the simulation gamestyle.

You think it was bad with Cleveland, imagine what's it's going to be like with Miami!!

I hope not, they should have just made the casual option available. Maybe give guys a separate record on each of the gamestyles.

I'm not going to hate on 12 year olds or 14 year olds that just want to enjoy the game. Game is rated E, so they should enjoy it as well.

Not sure if someone mentioned it, but in a way this makes me skeptical about how sim simulation mode is. Only because if anyone has played online they'd notice most online players are arcade style and 2k can't alienate all of them. I hope sim mode isn't essentially the default that 2k10 was and arcade is even looser than that
