Co-sign! I've been one of those guys dogging Kellog and was honestly so disappointed finding out he was in 2K11. But it sounds great - leaps and bounds better than last year and not even comparable to the other game's last year.

I love how the announcers are actually talking about other teams in the league, matchups, etc. Very realistic when they were talking about the Celtics. In real life the announcers just don't talk about the two teams playing; they often go down rabbit holes and discuss other teams and what happened last year. So cool to see 2K incorporate this.

Agreed.

Kellogg is starting to grow on me..

I hardly ever watched any games in real life where Kellogg was the commentator, so I'm not much familiar with him, but I don't think he's bad. I enjoy listening to his remarks and the commentary works great for me - be it 2K10 or 2K11 (from what I've seen). Every commentator ever hired for a video game brought some annoying phrases with him - Walton, Kerr...anyone. I don't think Kellogg is bad. There might be better than him in the business, but 2K's doing such a great job with the commentary that it doesn't really matter who the commentators are.

I do agree that the commentary sounds quite a bit better.

You must not watch a whole lot of college ball. Harlan and Kellogg do atleast one major CBS game on every single Saturday and a hefty majority of the tournament games.

I've watched lots of NBA games where Harlan was the commentator, but you're right, I don't watch much college basketball. The last time I watched it a lot was in the early to mid 90's.

I'm glad 2k is putting out videos, but part of me wishes they had waited a bit longer to start releasing all of this stuff. I mean, the game is still 5 weeks from being released. Getting all this info early is such a long, drawn-out tease.

# 128 RAELpogi @ 08/29/10 09:18 PM

So can somebody please confirm that it is going to RUN 60fps on our consoles?? Like gamersydes vids. Thanks

# 129 The 24th Letter @ 08/29/10 09:21 PM

Ever since they started "putting them in the same room" as they mentioned last year......Harlan and Kellog have really started coming together...

# 130 Mr_Riddick @ 08/29/10 09:43 PM

I'm Seriously excited for this game. With all the improvements made this year, my only question is where do they go from this year forward? Meaning, how will they out do themselves with 2k12. I know its still early but that's just a thought. The development team seems to have done an amazing job this year." We have 37 days and counting fellas" and I have a feeling this year is going to be great for 2k basketball fans.......

# 131 ShindoHikaru @ 08/29/10 10:06 PM

Actually for the gameplay, I think it's great. The graphics looks great. The only thing bothering me is the commentary. If you play the Association or shake up the rosters, some of the things they say won't be there. Naturally and I understand that. It's more like a "dynamic commentary" I was hoping for. If a trade for a certain player was made, it hardly gets mentioned in the in-game commentary. Only the stats were being mentioned repetitively.

Commentators will be put on mute again. Also the AI looks horrid.

Early days....it's not even finished yet?? Must be boring playing 2k at your house

This game is looking better with each vid, we are seeing more and more. I like this year that 2k are bringing out teasers a month out from release.

This is probably the first year they did that....previous years, they were very stingy with the information on the game even a month before released.

Wow

H a t e r Alert!

Wow, where do you start. This game has improved, it was wierd to see a Heat game where Wade was not involved much at all. He did have that one dunk but for the most part it was the Miller and Bron show. This game has so many positives. They definitely improved LeBron's shot. The thing I like about this game is the cpu AI is about the closest thing I have seen to real NBA, no cheating just players playing how they play and attacking when needed. I really like LeBron attacking the rim and getting fouled and what happened he missed most of his free throws. They really nailed LeBron down, the gathers his shot and dribble are about as close as you can get.

There were some negatives but man the positives outweigh the negatives. I didn't really like that Dudley putback. I am sure he can dunk but that putback appears to be out of his paygrade if you catch my drift.

# 137 blackngoldfan @ 08/29/10 11:36 PM

The commentary was awesome is this video. The first thing I have noticed is there are A LOT LESS "OOOOOHHHHH's" interrupting the commentary after dunks. Kellogg has toned down a lot. There was one instance where it happened, but it was an uncontested wide open tomahawk dunk (2:35) by Richardson after he pump faked Miller. Understandable IMO.

This was great....

At 5:32 they comment on about Bosh after a made shot. It ends at 6:02.
Turkoglu gets fouled at 6:30.
(Normally they would comment on the foul shooter in this situation)
At 6:32, Harlan says "Back to Bosh"....and they go on again.
At 6:44, they comment on Tukoglu shortly after he makes the first freethrow.

Great stuff.Can't wait.

Wade was aggressive in other gameplay vids (Gamescon vids) though. And I think it's a bit early to tell what would be the Heat player's roles be as we haven't see team's revamped rosters abilities and game style.

you know a game is good when you say things like "nice pick", "nice screen", etc.. while watching the video.

# 140 yungflo @ 08/30/10 12:02 AM
