NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Presentation

06:51 PM - September 15, 2010 by econoodle

2K Sports have just posted another NBA 2K11 Developer Insight, this one featuring presentation.

Quote:


	"Dynamic Attendance Have you ever noticed that at a Lakers home game, during tip-off, the seats aren�t quite filled yet? As if half the ticket holders are stuck in 405 during rush hour. NBA2K Gamer: Did you guys add this to NBA 2K11? DDP: Yessir Well, when you tip with Bynum come NBA 2K11, expect to see a couple of empty seats that won�t be filled until half way through the 1st Quarter. And this doesn�t just happen in LA, it happens in pretty much every city. We took attendance numbers and watched a lot of footage from every team in the NBA to make sure the numbers were as accurate as possible. Depending on which city the game is being played in, and who the players on the scheduled road team are, the arena may or may not be at full capacity at the start of the game. Over the course of the game, the arena will fill to its capacity at different rates.."

I don't want to hear anything else about what can and can't be done in a one year cycle. NBA 2K11 is one of my Choices for GOTY hands down.

Color Me impressed. Hopefully they make Association Greatest Ever!

Thanks 2k

The wait feels sooooooooooo long.

2k10 must have been a demo. My theory is they've been working on 2k11 for two years and 2k10 was just a full game demo of things to come (which was why it was so buggy). All the things they have added this year just goes beyond expectation. We haven't even gotten to Association!! On a side note, I finally get to see the beautiful empty seats of Target Center, go Wolves!

# 86 VDusen04 @ 09/15/10 11:24 PM

Everything I read in this insight was unspeakably sensational. I very much appreciate all the effort this crew has put forth this year. Well done. Well done indeed.

# 87 Jasong7777 @ 09/15/10 11:31 PM

Yea I need this game like right now. This will be the first sports game I take a day off on release day for.

# 88 Philstat @ 09/15/10 11:37 PM

MAN...this game is the goods...I can't wait to buy this DAY ONE!

# 89 convince @ 09/15/10 11:42 PM

It's unlikely that the playoff shirts are in, i think its something they would have mention when speaking so much about the crowd.

# 90 Epiffani @ 09/15/10 11:43 PM

As 2K continues to make it rain with the info, its become obvious which game is in fact not competing with the other B-ball game, but instead, competing with other games outside of their genre that are highly rated on metacritic in pursuit of a "90"

. Talk about letting your game speak for itself....

I think ronnie mentioned that this was in the game. And that is in Association insight.

All these presentation enhancements sound wonderful. But it's what wasn't said the bothers me.
"Jordan Player of the Game Reel and Other In-game Presentation
A boat load of presentation elements have received some nice upgrades for 2K11. The most significant upgrade is the Jordan Player of the Game segment. This season we have infused the reel with a variety of filters and quick cuts to really give you a show at the end of the game. Combined with music from the NBA2K11 Soundtrack I am sure it will get you excited for another run."

What happened to the custom arena music? In 2K10 we could set our own custom music for the Jordan Player of the Game on the Xbox 360! Please don't tell me this feature was removed.

with all this on the disk lets hope the load times are not long......(if so Imma DL install to HD)

this is too much greatness

# 94 The 24th Letter @ 09/16/10 12:23 AM

I wonder if any changes were done to signature highlights....one of my favorite parts of the game....

# 95 clipperfan811 @ 09/16/10 12:37 AM

I've been waiting for this insight! I can't wait to see what the playoff atmosphere looks like. That Oklahoma Crowd was out of their minds last year.

Last year the frame rate was an issue out of the gates especially whenever lights would flash around the stadium. I'm really hoping 2k double checks all those little things because 2k11 is looking like an instant classic at this point.

# 96 J-H!zZl3 @ 09/16/10 12:51 AM

2k had definitely stepped up their game in the presentation area. I just want to see how all this is for myself. October can't get here fast enough.

# 97 youvalss @ 09/16/10 12:54 AM

Finally we can upload just one Pressbook photo. Thanks for listening, 2K. It's great that we can do it this year.

# 98 mistacoleman22 @ 09/16/10 01:02 AM

I want to know if when the home team is getting blown out, will the fans leave early like in real games ???

As 23 stated: YES. From the Dev Insight:

Quote:


	Also, check out the arena at the beginning of the 3rd quarter to notice that some of the crowd takes its sweet time getting back to their seats. If you�ve ever been to an NBA game in person, you know that the lines for EVERYTHING (bathrooms, concession stands, etc�) can take a while so we thought it would be cool to represent this in the game. And if you are the unfortunate victim of a stomping on your home court, don�t wait for our NBA2K11 crowd to stick around for triple zeros.
