[hotjoint]

Pre ordered mine yesterday :). Last nba game I bought was 2K8.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

DAMNNN i hope they dont send it out so late.....no way im waiting for one months


latest i can wait is oct 10th lol
:rofl:

[Jaay90]

this game is going to so epic

[411ken]

I can't wait to play the Jordan modes... :D

As for Dell, I've read elsewhere that they are pretty BAD with shipping so I think I will just pay the extra 10 and get it on release hahaha... Yes, I'm a big bball fanatic...

But who knows.. maybe Dell has changed?

[joquio]

hehe, finally able to get myself a Pre-order at EB Games.
Can't beat their trade 2 or 3 promotion.

[Dragon-88]

Basically if Dell doesnt have any left in their richmond warehouse.. Which is highly likely. You will have to wait for them to ship more from their U.S warehouse which takes 7-10 business days.

[JayDaMan]

i'm down to get this... 2K10 was pretty solid and im hoping this would be better!

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

fuck now i regret being a cheap mofo saving $10 dollars

[joquio]

[JayDaMan]

[hotjoint]

NBA Elite announced today that they're pushing back the release date on their game since it sucks ass. Most of the people buying elite were only buying it to get nba jam then selling it off. EA has said that they will have nba jam as a seperate game for ps3/xbox during this holiday season :thumbsup:

[JayDaMan]

NBA elite sucks.. 2k owns

[joquio]

lol wtf, that's so sad for NBA Elite and EA haha.

[Qmx323]

2k for life, played it since 2k5

always thought it was better than live

[hotjoint]

lol wtf, that's so sad for NBA Elite and EA haha.

haha yup. They don't even have a new date set, its indefinite for now :lol. my guess is that they're just going to scrap nba elite this year and will wait nba elite 12. EA has said that they will give roster, dna and updates for nba live 10 in the meantime

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

fuck i cant exchange than gotta wait



EA has no idea wat the fuck they are doing with their basketball games, seriously it plays like shit, moves like shit, looks like shit

[joquio]

haha yup. They don't even have a new date set, its indefinite for now :lol. my guess is that they're just going to scrap nba elite this year and will wait nba elite 12. EA has said that they will give roster, dna and updates for nba live 10 in the meantime

Really? Can't believe that EA will skip a year. On the other hand, they won't be missing out much on the sale :rofl:

[hotjoint]

Am I the only one who thinks the graphics is kinda shitty (PS3)....?

I felt the graphics from the last 2kseries NBA I had, which was 2K7 on xbox360, was same if not better than this.....

[hotjoint]

looks fine to me

to me it looks about the same


how you liking the game play

any complaints?

like take off too late? cant dunk? cant pass by ur opponent? lol shooting awkwardly?

[joquio]

Heh:p For some reason it was only outputting 720p before.
I set it to 1080p last night and it's better now.
Still, don't like the jagged edges. If it wasn't for the better controllers I would rather game on PC.

It's been a while since I played NBA so I am still getting used to the controllers. I have no complaints about dunks or passing. It's more realistic this way. If you like to dunk every second offensive play then maybe NBA Live/Elite or JAM would be better?

Passing is harder for sure, almost 90% cross-court passes fail. Again, it's a little frustrating but I don't mind this. I just have to get better at swinging the ball.

I tried to do the "My Player" mode last night and I had a hard time getting a good team mark. Kinda drove me nuts. I still need to get more familiar/used to the controls.

Anyways, I hope I won't get bored/too frustrated in a couple weeks would like to play a few seasons or build up my player.

[hotjoint]

i'm not playing this until i beat castevania. I better beat it quick because star wars comes out on the 26th :(

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

well i dont have a problem with dunk, but if you want to talk about being realistic...


how is it using any high flyer dunkers like nate/james/wade/ hell even jordan


steal the ball go on a fast break urself, and the freaking dude takes off just right outside the restriction line. They should be able to take off AT LEAST half way from the foul line...

2k10/9/8 were all like that.

well 2k8 u can literally take off from the foul line LOL using lebron

[411ken]

Here's my review of this game after playing for a bit

Pros:
1.JORDAN mode- this is probably the deepestttt mode ever in a sports game.. The graphics are insane and since its a game from back in the day... the graphics feels like its "dated" too... lol....and I also enjoy doing MJ's right to left hand lay up lol..

2. Online mode seems better this year too (compare to last year)
3. Gameplay is surreal..I love the alley oops... the follow up dunks... and the Computer AI is awesome...i.e. they run a play for the center if somehow my point guard got a switch..... I love the blocking too..

4. Graphics are superb and arenas aren't always "full".. i.e. Milwaukee bucks lol.. ..they even have a nice "player of the game" thing too.

I also enjoy dunking and then running into the mop boys and run them down lol.

Cons:
1. Dribbling... I wish they could have a new system for it...Takes time to get used to it.
2. I wish we could use the old school teams online. but not a big deal as I'm sure everyone would just use the bulls lol

I think this is my only issue so far.. if I find anymore I don't like, I'll post it here.


If you are a big bball fan and want a "SIM" type, this game is a MUST... I highly recommend it.

If you guys like the run and gun style and dunking all the time then wait for NBA ELITE... If it ever comes out lol

[Sir_Loin]

Anyone finished the Jordan Challenge? Having trouble doing the "Shrug Game" limiting Drexler to under 20 points is hard. Game is great they really improved the online ranked game play compared to 2K10, out of the 15 games I've played online only one of them wasn't against the Heat.

[Simulated]

i'm very impressed with this year's edition so far. the intro to LAL vs CHI '91 finals gave me chills.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

i played another 2 hrs last night i guess im the only one who hates how the gameplay is this year

harder to block, hard to play D, hard to do crossover


simply frustrated

:bullshit:

I think you are the first one I've read or even I've talked to that does not like this game... everyone else loves it..

I think you are just used to NBA Live's arcade style game..

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

nononononoo

i absolutely HATE LIVE, its pure garbage


chunky movement, easy shooting etc


im a dedicated fan for 2k basketball no joke

a die hard fan since 2k5 till 10


but 11 im really really not use to it


already play 5-6hrs

and i really cant dig the concept, infact im more frustrated than any 2k series i had


BTW im actually not flaming the fuck out of it like i normally do in other threads

i was so excited and looking forward to this game, but ...... :(


i think its gonna take me another 5-10 hrs to maybe give another rating


graphic there is definitely an improvement

just the gameplay..... i dont know

[ShyGuy]

dribbling is so hard!...definitely a big learning curve to this game.

[hotjoint]

I love this game. Still getting used to the ISO motion controls but they take time to learn. Also the AI has been improved so you'll get burnt if you play shitty D. This year is a totally new game. I have friends that played all star on previous 2k's and are having a hard time with this because they made the AI smarter. I suggest to go into practice and learn the iso moves down pat and also post moves. I did them for a good hour and am doing fine. Having no issues with passing, shooting or dunking. I'm only playing on pro for now but will turn up the difficulty once I have everything down.

i love it ~ so much more realistic ... and jordan challenges are so hard! haha
my player mode has significantly improved too

[iamon]

I played it for the first time a few nights ago, playing as the classic teams is sweet, I played as the 96 Sonics as they were my favorite team back when I was young. Too bad they ran into the Bulls in the Finals and never made it back after that.

[g604]

For all the guys having problems with the controls have you read through the extended user control manual 2k posted search for it on google (i dont have the link on me)

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

ughh basically just spin that shit (left analog) while pressing down L2


btw how the hell do u play D?



i try to lock the opponent, by pressing L2

BOOM one sec they pass me wtf

There's no lock on. You just have to stay on front of people. You seriously having trouble playing d? Don't try to keep stealing the ball. Just stay in front of the player and force them into a bad shot. What difficulty you playing?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

^


first couple hours superstar like how i always do in the past 2k series

than all star

now pro



no lock on D? wow

thats a first, 5 years in a roll they always had lock on

how u suppose to player tighter D without the lock on button now? WOW
:(

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

there is still some sort of lock on

i just read the menu u posted


Post Engage L2 button while next to offensive player


tats wat it says


but i play the game by pressing L2, its not really lock on at all. YOu can still walk past the dude



PS

NVM

wrong section


but

DEFENSE
Hands Up Hold D button
Swap Players Press Move button on motion controller
Take Charge Hold A button
Block Shot / Rebound Lift motion controller up
Steal Press F button or swipe motion controller left / right






WTF? seriously? thats it? no lock on ? sigh

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

yo nammer

good game but sorry dude

i think my wireless is fucked, super unstable.

im gonna try connecting by wire next time see if its more stable


thats the thing i hate playing online, not stable, and laggy

i still cant play D tho

fuck couple crossovers and im gone, becuz cant lock on
ughhhh


its like playing football, i keep running into ppl

haha yeah good 2 minute game lol. Yeah online is super laggy. I don't really like to play online for any games because I hate the lag but yeah just keep practicing. You saw how I was able to get by you pretty easy by doing crossovers and whatnot. Play pro against the computer until you're comfortable then move the difficulty up. Remember that its not just about performing as many iso motion moves as you can, just look at how the defender reacts to what you're doing. Go into practice mode and do post up moves, it'll let you practice one on one with your guards and centers. That helped me alot :thumbsup:

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

^


thx

ya past couple 2k onlines series have always been laggy.

:( thats why i hate playing online too

It was pretty funny tho, you got the ball first, kobe starts doing his thing except u were on the side nearly behind the hoop, try to do a jump shot my birdman fly over GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE

LOLLL


D is making me very very frustrated not knowing how to stay in front of my opponent, well how can you when you cant lock on. sure just move left and right but a lot of times u will walk past by especially when the opponent is performing ISO its too easy to pass by ur friends or online buddy, but AI locks on you. I definitely need to know how to do crossovers, i can do the simple right to left , left to right lol maybe sometimes spin move thats about it nothing fancy.

haha yeah birdman swatted me nicely. I was like WTF haha. Go into practice and practice the iso moves bro. They're really easy. The best is the step back to crossover move, its killer. :thumbsup:

Here's a list of them

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

thx dude

ya birdman is epic, love that dude
and couple times under the hoop, i just gather up 3 big dudes and kept on jumping, eventually u got blocked LOL.

U must be thinking gee im right underneath the hoop, im just gonna wait for this idiot to jump, than im gonna dunk on his sorry ass.


I think my biggest concern is not moves, its how to play D

Live couple years ago, forgot which one since they were all crap. CANNOT lock on D

so a lot of times u walk past the person dribbling the ball.

Now im shocked 2k11 would remove that, since in the past for me to play perfect D, i lock on than move right and left.......

IMO i think lock on D is cheap. It helps you stay in front of the defender with little to no effort. I remember 2k8 when they had lock on, I just held the button and it would follow the player around. I'm glad they took it off because now you need to actually play real D instead of holding down a button lol.

As for you 3 guys in the paint i was really surprised that I didn't draw a foul because I had your 3 guys up and I jumped into them but they still blocked my shot lol.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

^

hahahahaha true that

but u know what? in the past 2k series, the foul is such a bs, hit and a miss.

A lot of times i play with my buddy i knew it was a hard foul, basically pushed him and he got robbed, laying on the ground. ANd you know what? no call no foul.

Some games you run into foul trouble, some games the entire first half only 1-2 fouls (7-8 minutes game) its like ughh...are the refs sleeping?


But without locking on, have you notice playing D your players freaking slide all over the place? its like he has a pair of skates on his shoes. ANd now ISO has more moves, playing with another human its gonna be easier to pass him since no lock on D. But when you play against AI, its hard to pass them

When I play D, I don't move at all unless the ball carrier moves. Anytime you move its just to prevent them from going to that side. Usually just staying in front of them is good enough to get them to pass the ball or prevent their shot from going in. I don't keep moving back and forth if the ball carrier isn't moving.

[Okitnam]

i hav the 2k10 still butt....someone tell me if its worth gettin 2k11!!!!

How can you be a basketball fan if you are still considering getting 2k11 with JORDAN on the cover?!

But realistically, this is a far better game. Learning curve is steeper compared to previous games. The change in lock on defense and computer AI just makes the game that much better. A lot more offensive moves this time around with half spin fake and fade.

Started on my player not too long ago and got drafted 15th by the bucks. Almost getting to be the star player within 15 games, get out the way Brandon Jennings.
