NBA 2K11
I haven't picked up a basketball game in a few years, and I was just gonna wait for NBA Jam to come back, but this may convince me to get NBA 2K11.
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/111/1112362p1.html Yeah, that's right. You get to be Michael Jordan. You go through some of his most legendary moments and recreate them. Quote:

As long as it plays as good as 10k, I don't care about any of that.

I saw a screen cap of MJ leaning on Scottie after the flu game. Can't remember where I saw it but it looked amazing...anyways....This is always one my of my 2 yearly sports title purchases. This just further reinforces buying this game for the 11th year.

Have never bought a basketball game but decided a few days ago when I read about the challenges and getting to play Jordan's career on any team that I will def pick this up in about 18 months when it's really cheap.

MyPlayer Mode better be de-bugged this time around. My player is still stuck in the D-League and I'm on my third season.

demo is out. Very impressed so far, it doesnt seem to suffer from that slow down in the post like 2k10 did, and as usual, the animations are improved.
I can see me and Roxer having more Suns/Lakers series going down to the final game. |

Gunna put this in the 2K thread since Elite doesn't really deserve it's own thread.
The demo for Elite came out today and I tried and didn't like it but loved...the idea of it. I guess. The presentation is ESPN style so that will blow 2K out of the water, no doubt. Wish 2K could cut a deal with TNT but I think that other shitty game has a deal with them. Anyway, I always love TV-Style broadcasts in games and it looks like Elite will have the leg up on 2K. No biggie. The controls... are different. Obviously. I think I love it but I dunno. I was a big MLL (Lacrosse...lol) fan a few years back when Arizona actually had a team. Tickets were on the cheap and our team was actually good and the games were fun to go to. I always wondered what a true game would be like and to have movement of the player with the LS and movement of the stick with the RS. This seemed so simple and a no brainer. Basically, what the NHL franchise has done the past couple of years. There is an indy LAX game, but it's pretty terrible. I'm getting off the point. I loved the idea of controlling the player with two thumbsticks rather than buttons. So I was really psyched to try this out. But for me, it doesn't work. Not the controls themselves, but the presentation of the game. I think if you take away the sideline camera angle you lose a lot of feel to the game. I think it was an extremely ballsy move by EA to go to a drop down camera and thumbstick controls. Really ballsy. There will be a lot of backlash (mostly from black people whose screen names are YoUnGjEeZy, GhostKillllA, oOX smoke XOo, etc) and it will be interesting to see how this is played out. So, I'm giving a lot of credit to EA for doing this, but I don't think it will work. And besides, even if they did switch back to buttons, they STILL have the inferior game. I'm not bagging on the controls. I love them and can't wait to see how EA can expand with them. But it's still not as good as 2K |

If that's fake, somebody has gone through a fuckload of effort, the ball hits the player model, the player models arms 'react', the ball 'reacts' etc. Not to mention how utterly pointless it would be.

Could be like a debug version or something.
But you cannot get that camera angle in the demo. Even if you could, the control scheme would be messed up. |

It can't be. You CAN NOT get that camera angle in the demo. You can't. Go try.

They've pulled the demo from XBL. I went on there a minute ago to try it out and see how the game played and it's gone, it was up there a couple days ago.

Loving My Player mode so much. 2nd Round draft pick for the Knicks, didn't finish the summer, eventually picked up by the Pistons and have now finally taken T-Macs starting position.

These fucking Jordan challenges are going to be a pain in the ass, I can already tell. Maybe not down the line with better teamates but that first one was a bitch. How am I going to score 69 with only 8 minute quarters? And 6 assists. May as well just not play D so the other team doesn't hold on to the ball forever. But I also have to win the game. Should be fun.
