NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: MJ: Creating a Legend (With Hi-Res Tongue Screenshot)

05:34 PM - August 17, 2010 by ifriedrice

Check out the new NBA 2K11 Developer Insight. Not really a lot of juice in this one, but there is a new screenshot, showing off MJ and his "tongue". View that screenshot, right here.

Quote:


	"One thing to keep in mind here with this mode is that you will be with rookie Michael, who will only be rated a 79 to start out with. This leaves you with plenty of room to improve his overall rating as you guide him towards super-stardom. I can tell you that his physical skills and general athletic ability are through the roof, but you�re going to need to build his outside shot, his defensive prowess, and his unmatchable killer instinct in the clutch before you can take him to �best ever� status. You can build up Michael�s rating by earning Skill Points and spending them on the attributes of your choice. These Skill Points are earned by in-game stats and accomplishing in-game goals set forth by the game. The presentation for the mode is centered entirely around Michael. The entire menu system has been branded to feel Jordan-centric. The in-game presentation will speak a lot about Jordan�s rise to the NBA early and how he will fit into the team you have chosen for him. From there, they will call out important milestones for Michael and discuss how his season/career is progressing moving forward. I have seen some discussion about whether this replaces the popular My Player mode from 2K10. It absolutely does not, I will be speaking about My Player in the coming weeks in a Developer Insight."

I didn't want to be the first one to say it. I'm cool with the fact that they have his tongue, period. However, it does look like he's been drinking some grape kool aid.

why is there a picture of Michael STRAHAN dunkin on the celtics?

# 24 youvalss @ 08/17/10 06:08 PM

I like it. I wonder if it's Bird's arm there...

# 25 Rocboyz101 @ 08/17/10 06:08 PM

He looks like a vampire there..lol Alright, let me atleast point out the positive. They definitely got jordans hairline problems down.

# 26 aloncho11 @ 08/17/10 06:10 PM

Well vampires right now are a pop culture phenom...especially amongst teenagers

The tongue color you see in the pic is from an older build. We just recently fixed that so that it's not so red.

Great! Thanks for the info.

# 29 aloncho11 @ 08/17/10 06:19 PM

Thanks. That will be a thumbs down for all the vampire lovers.

I appreciate the feedback and knowledge.

# 32 aloncho11 @ 08/17/10 06:26 PM

I'm sure they will for the final code. Anyway, we can fix that ingame too.

# 33 aloncho11 @ 08/17/10 06:41 PM

No, he looks like Mookie Blaylock. I'm not buying this game. This screen just ruined every hope I had for 2K11's Jordan Challenge.

# 34 elprez98 @ 08/17/10 06:52 PM

Looks like someone missed their deadline for the REAL developer's insight for the week, so they inserted this instead. Fine with me, either way though.

# 35 Vaiasucks @ 08/17/10 06:54 PM

Jordan to the Memphis Grizzlies! Wooooooo

Mayo
Jordan
Gay
Gasol
Randolph!

lol

Thanks for clarifying.

Not harping on you guys like some of these nitpickers lol

I just could hardly tell at first with the color clash, but please, continue the hard work. I enjoy every bit

# 38 aloncho11 @ 08/17/10 07:02 PM

Oh brother!

# 39 lakewayking @ 08/17/10 07:07 PM

# 40 Eman5805 @ 08/17/10 07:09 PM

Glad to see they're not slacking. Glad to hear that the improvements keep coming.

Just hope they can test it all properly so you don't have too many annoying bugs.
