05:55 PM - October 4, 2010 by RaychelSnr

The amount of coverage NBA 2K11 has received here at OS has reached immense levels at this point. Everyone has been so eager to hear about anything and everything related to the game, so we have tried our best to quench the thirst of all of you out there. Regardless, no matter what I write below, it won’t change the fact that the game won’t come out until tomorrow, and that is the only magic elixir that will cure the NBA 2K11 draught that is parching a large majority of users who are visiting this site today.

Nevertheless, here is one last impressions article, only this time, it’s impressions from the retail version of the game.

I COMPLETELY agree about having to hog the ball in Jordan mode. I can't beat it otherwise. If I call plays, they eat too much time on the clock. This must be fixed in the patch. I'll start my franchise mode while I wait for the patch.

Good read. On Nash, Personally, I could see the Suns moving him if they start out terrible and look lottery bound. They are a few years away from contending again and Nash only has a few years left. Ship him to the Lakers for a Ring!

The simmed home/away thing seems quite problematic. This seems like something they could patch hopefully.

no my player insights?.....sigh thats disappointing, maybe next year my player wont just be an after thought for you guys...

I am siked about this game. I wanna see that pick and roll to Hakim Warrick, Warrick can put the ball down hard!! I also want to see how Amare and the Knicks play in this game. Like you said, a lot of teams have different sets and I would like to see a difference in the Knicks then other teams. I'm getting the game at midnight and am happy I have a fighters chance with the Knicks this year.

I know, it just wasn't something I could give much time to during the 2 days before writing this, sorry dude. Plus, unfortunately, I didn't play with it much last year so my insights might not have been very enriching.

Its ok that you have to hog the ball for the Jordan challenge mode.

Because Jordan hogged the ball like no one else in the league for about 6 years of his career.

That was a pretty awesome read. 6 more hours. I don't think I've gotten this amped up over a game in a while, much less an annual sports game! I'm even more amped for this then Red Dead Redemption!

Nice lil read damn shame i wont have the game until wed

# 10 juicey79 @ 10/04/10 07:06 PM

# 11 Daleader25 @ 10/04/10 07:13 PM

Cant wait for this game

# 12 ggsimmonds @ 10/04/10 07:18 PM

Good read.

And take your time with the full review. I always hate when people rush out reviews in an effort to get more readers and they end up missing so much. Don't have a review out tomorrow saying how great the Association is only to have users encounter major glitches and horrible AI further into the mode.

It happened with this years Madden review. They posted the review as early as they could and it was a good review. But after people spent time with the game large problems cropped up.

Might be the case for me to. I preordered from gamestop but I live on campus so they ship it to my po box. I don't think they guarantee getting it release day for po box deliveries.

Again, sooo glad I'm playin with the Suns in association..Phoenix probably won't ever trade him unless its for chris paul. lol

# 17 ggsimmonds @ 10/04/10 07:51 PM

For players like Nash if we edit their contract to include a no trade clause would that drastically lower the chances of them being traded? I'm wondering how the NTC affects cpu-cpu trading.

# 18 tez326 @ 10/04/10 07:52 PM

# 19 T3AMGEIST @ 10/04/10 08:10 PM
