Surprised no one else picked this up, but @ 4:20 during the replays of the jordan dunk, the smaller square on the backboard is missing! I hope the art guys pick this up and fix it before release

No, just no. Poor Lamar. In this instance Posey FTW.

No. Long shorts look horrible. Both in sports and in normal everyday life. Both Posey and Lamar Odom look like fools in those pictures. Short shorts look bad but so do long shorts. Someone earlier in the thread said it best with the '90s short length resting above the knee was best.

You like 'em tight huh?

Personally, I feel terrible if my shorts are not over knee.

i hope that for the generic placeholders they at least give the players the correct position, skin color, ratings, sigs etc... and we can just go in and edit the name and face. maybe give them names that start with the same letters so they can be identified easy for editing, like for example if they couldnt secure alaa abdelnaby then they name him alex anderson or something.

also im praying that they give us some better hairstyles for the caps. the only real problem i had with last years cap mode was the lack of good hairstyle options. lets hope we get the high top fade that was so popular in the late 80s early 90s. and not that kid n play foot tall one that 2k used to have, it was good for one player, kenny walker and even then it looked way to high. kinda like "the patch" hairstyle, did anybody ever really use that thing?

Hey guys since we're under the subject of this game as well as Michael Jordan i just thought of seeing if you guys are interested in seeing the new michael jordan jumpshot side by side comparison video i recently completed. If you are interested then feel free to click the link below, otherwise might as well ignore it. It's kinda hard to see if you're interested ever since the mod thought it was a good idea to close my thread. But anyways the mod said that if i want to see if you guys are interested in a video then post it in the thread where i got the original video from. So anyways, personally i find it much improved as you can tell that in the followthrough his hands are open instead of flicked down as we are normally taught in our generation. That's probably my favourite aspect of his jumpshot. Anyways here is the link

I'm just shocked, this game play was excellent, 2k has really done it this year. The game play is so smooth, it's amazing. The commentary is way better than last year, they show the players exact stat line. Just wow.

Even if they don't do that, making them mostly black instead of all white would simply look better. White guys in 2K aren't aesthetically the better looking player models, that's for sure lol.

would have loved to see his one handed jumper... and Bill Cartwrights ugly looking jump shot in the video, but yeah Kevin Duckworth did pass away( hopes he's in the game)

I also think that he faces up too much in the 2k11 shot, I've always felt like Jordan turns his body a little bit more when he shoots. The shot in the video looks a little like Dwyane Wade's shot from last years game. I agree with the elevation thing too, the shot looks almost like a set shot. That's fine for things like set 3 pters as that's how Jordan shot those, but for contested shots off the dribble, he should definitely be getting more elevation.

No explosion off the floor on his drives, and Del Curry like lift on his pull up. Kobe suffers the same flaw...there's a reason both Kobe and Mike score at will and rarely get a mid range shot contested, let alone blocked...elevation. This is damn near a joy breaker for me, because if Mike is in the game (and on the cover) his athleticism should be represented, and right now it's not even close.

I wonder if they capture his hanging in the air motion. That's MJ signature with a capital S!! Whether jumping to take a shot or jump and bump into a defender....MJ ALWAYS seem to hang before he shoot...that is why he's unstoppable....i wonder if 2K capture that uniqueness.

Great Point. Totally Agree.

One thing I notice in this video is that Scottie is not bringing the ball up court often.

# 117 aloncho11 @ 08/30/10 04:36 PM

Yes. He is playing like a conventional Small Forward instead of a Point Forward. Paxson brought up he ball almost all the time. Hopefully this due because of the early build the game was played on.

Either way, Scottie should play as a Point Forward and have a good play-making rating alongside the tendencies of a G/F. Scottie was the real Point Guard of the 90's Bulls team.

# 118 AlphaTrojan @ 08/30/10 05:00 PM

I believe we can edit players so we should be able to edit Scottie to the point forward role.

I just hope he doesn't dribble like a point guard. I can see in my head visions of Pippen losing the ball while bringing it up the court, because his dribbling ability wasn't really top notch.

# 120 DJNOC @ 08/30/10 07:02 PM

I just might be in the minority and normally I don't nitpick a lot but I didn't feel they captured the essence of Jordan. The whole time I didn't see anything Jordan esqe. From the shorts, the jumpshot, the dribbling, the fadeaway, nothing. The game looks good as always and appreciate all the upgrades but I am not feeling Jordan. I am disappointed but not enough for me not to buy the game. I just had real high hopes and that since Jordan was the cover guy he would be the main one to have right. Hopefully 2k is still working on getting him close to perfect.
