NBA 2K11 Hands-On Preview w/ New Screenshots, Including More "Tongue" (Gamespot)

11:37 PM - August 26, 2010 by Steve_OS

Gamespot has just posted their NBA 2K11 hands-on preview, detailing Michael Jordan-specific content.

They've also posted some new Michael Jordan "Tongue" screenshots.

Quote:


	"Michael Jordan. Sadly, that name might not mean much to younger fans of the NBA, particularly in an era where the most talented stars hold hour-long TV specials to announce which team is going to pay them more than the last. Still, Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest to play the sport of basketball, and his appearance on NBA 2K11's cover--according to developer Visual Concepts--is not only a celebration of that, but also an opportunity to expose the current generation of Kobe and LeBron fans to a man who took the NBA to a whole new level. To be clear, Jordan is more than NBA 2K11's cover athlete. In fact, there are a couple of modes in the game that specifically focus on number 23 and his career."

Thats crazy to think they got that right in the PS2 but for some unknown reason cant get it down pack in the next gen you kno. Im all about accessories & dont care what ppl say about. They gotta get that right or at least get us the option to do it.

Not nitpicking but why did they change the way the socks look?

# 43 DGMikeBarker @ 08/27/10 02:02 AM

Glad to see the Jordan sleeve with sock showing

I really like the foot planting in this pic. Look at how D-Will's shoes bend as he makes his move. I like little details like that.

# 45 Epiffani @ 08/27/10 02:50 AM

D-Will is looking like Damon Stoudamire in that picture.

# 46 23 @ 08/27/10 03:06 AM

Joe Generic Blows! And what's going on with the bottom of his shorts? In all seriousness though, really kinda sad to see a generic person in a screenshot.

I know I'm obviously in the minority, but am I the only one who doesn't care about MJ at all. The only thinig i'm excited for that is brought on by his presence is the ability to use Seattle and Patrick Ewing. It'd only be better if somehow Reggie Miller (My favorite all-time player) was on here as well.

Damnit! The Observer strikes again.

(inside joke for Fringe fans)

The skin & sweat came out really nice this year.

Love this one:

# 51 23 @ 08/27/10 04:01 AM

Yes sir! Very nice

# 52 BlueNGold @ 08/27/10 04:08 AM

Not gonna lie, this is the first time I've ever saved a video game screenshot. Better yet, it's the first time I've ever put one as my desktop.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

# 53 domidomdomz @ 08/27/10 04:12 AM

Yeah very nice screenshots. Even the one with Joe Generic.

# 54 Wiffyjustus @ 08/27/10 04:47 AM

Game over man, game over.

That tongue is going to deliver terrible, terrible damage.

# 55 jr2424 @ 08/27/10 04:52 AM

My biggest problem is what to play first: My Player, Jordan Challenge, Association, Online. My goodness.

co-sign. I was just about to say that. Looks better than 2k10 model but still looks more like Damon than Deron.

Mike is just that great that even the observer wants to play against his airness!

# 59 OGKing @ 08/27/10 06:54 AM

This looks simply amazing. I'm speechless, the texture, the sweat, the tongue, the greatest of all time. 2k, the best.

They need to be shortened by a good 2-4". Way too baggy and makes him looks stocky and kind of clunky. Other than that the player model is really superb - particularly the 96-98 Jordan in the game.
