I just wet my pants watching that video.

Even if it was missing stuff. God....That was AWESOME!

plz give Jordan and the bulls tighter fitting jerseys and SHORTER and not as baggy shorts

You don't think they've seen it before? Of course they know about the patches and they've watched the old games. They're not working on the game blind and just making stuff up.

People, understand that nothing we're seeing now is the final build This video could be weeks old and things might not look the same now or a month from now.

We now that KyotoCarl and I understand your perspective, but we also don't know for sure that they've done the opposite (I know 2K must have improved many things from the time that video was made, but don't know exactly what)...so people are just posting their opinions just in case something slips out.

We all just want the best game possible

# 105 mlp111 @ 08/27/10 03:41 PM

looks good, but the game build from gamescom still is the best out, this was a old build, heat vs mavs still best best example of 2k11 gameplay out!

Ehh its like 2 games in one. The classic team playstyles are so well done. My favorite team to play against was the Jazz 97-98 and my favorite to play with was both the 91 lakers and the Sonics with Detlef and Payton and Kemp and Perkins. OMG I had a BLAST.

If you can remember its a game and that no other game has went this far to recreate that era you can have a blast. If you feel compelled to nitpick yourself into a lather you will miss out.

If you bring your expectations down your enjoyment will go up. Just play 2k10 and imagine a game where practically everything has been improved. not PERFECT but improved you will have a fantastic OCT.

These guys who want every single thing fixed before launch are not basing their wishes on reality.

Every single thing that gets changed at this point has the chance to introduce an unknown bug into the code pre ship.

Well said. I think 2k has raised the bar so high, we expect too much from them. No game will be perfect and 2k11 has a lot of features we should be able to enjoy for an entire season.

I'm old school and I just appreciate what they have done with this game. And from the videos it seems like they have really put in work in polishing the game up. This level of depth and detail hasn't ever been done on these next gen console. We should be grateful. Some of the nitpicking is just way overboard IMO. I can't wait to play 2k11.

So when I want to do a video with a classic team not in the game (Suns, Magic, ect.) they'll have the current past-the-knees shorts no matter what.

oh, i havent even thought about that. im praying now that short lenght is editable for all players.

I doubt they have a month to work on this game, within a few weeks, it has to be packaged, manafactured, and ship. Next week is September. Time's running low. I'd imagine manafacturing and packaging will take some time at least, 1-2weeks. I'm guessing.

Just my say, I know nothing about the biznizz, just adding my speculation.

(and no, thats not an actual mike wang quote. (had to put that disclaimer in there.)

Luckily Mike's Smart! Can't say the same for LBJ lol.

I think 2k likes the comminity and appreciates each response even the nitpickers, imo. the nitpickers got the arm bands to be bigger, more accessories, etc. Theres room for it, just not all the time

Yup. We might have short/medium shorts on Jordan Challenge mode but when we go back to Quick Game mode using current teams in short/med shorts as well.

# 112 youvalss @ 08/28/10 12:47 AM

If there are some non-MJ and non-Pistons players that I can't wait to play with, they are Drexler and Kersey. God, I loved those players!

# 113 datboimall @ 08/28/10 12:52 AM

And yes, you can also take the historical teams into the Association mode. Simballer will be expanding on that at a later time.

So do the classic teams replace a current team?

You know what would be cool, seeing how you guys won't be able to license every players shoe, it would be cool if we could get a shoe editor for the consoles... I know I could be asking for too much, but wouldn't that be awesome.

# 116 reptilexcq @ 08/29/10 12:59 AM

Basically, they just have to fix the shorts of the Bulls and all classic teams actually. They don't wear baggy shorts in that era. And John Stockton shorts should be shorter....!! Drexler look...WOW...he looks JUST LIKE HIM. Now if he wear a baggy shorts like Jordan, it wouldn't look like him imo.

Also the speed of the game is PERFECT!! It looks to me the speed of the other game between HEAT and Mavs are slow and the recent videos are much better. I hope they keep it like that.
