NBA 2K11 Official Thread (Patch Put for PS3 & XBOX 360)

@GuttaGetsBusy: DC posted the article on the previous page.

I hope they fix the crowd presentation though, Hopefully they will implement playoff atmosphere like in live.

Live 10 was on point with this.

Had the home team's sound effects for specific player actions (eg. Super Man Theme for Dwight Howard), crowd chants, and crowd booing certain players (Vince Carter when he plays in Toronto, Boozer when he played in Cleveland etc.)

Hopefully Elite continues with this and 2k11 adds it. I want the Cavs fans to tear into Lebron when he comes back.

This screen is about to make me guarantee the purchase of this.

I'm already copping Elite so I guess that I'll get both.

Those graphics + those PE 7's.

I have a feeling that they will have every numbered Jordan on 2K11 instead of team jordans.
 
^^ Well, they better! ...its gonna be weird seeing MJ wearing AJ 2010 or whatever they released these days while playing Jordan challenge..

I noticed 2k11's graphics has even more realistic feel to it.. and it looks great!
 
I just hope that both games are gonna be good enough to the point where i would have to buy both

what do you guys mean by presentation?

i always thought 2k sucks in that department, such as before the game they introduce the players and etc, its always felt cheap to me for some reason and very basic


however, 2k kills live(elite) in the very small details such as arena art like the big screen scoreboard the screen the surrounds the arena, bench player reactions and having them in warm up, and the mascot

my thoughts exactly.
 
What? 2K's presentation was the best thing about it.

The clips at the end of the quarters.
Player rituals before the tip off
Press Box
Highlight Reels for each and every player
NBA Today w/ Dynamic Commentary.

You two might be the only folks in the WORLD that had any issues with 2K's presentation
 
I can't wait for this! Been a 2K fan since the Dreamcast days.

Never been liking the Live series, but I have to admit, NBA Elite looks promising too!

Both will be worth getting... probably.
 
I just hope that when I play online, it won't have that stupid problem where the gamertag doesn't show. If there was anything I hated about 2k10, that was it.

Is that really a big deal? If so then most TV broadcasts are basic and cheap.
 
2K announces MJ: Creating a Legend mode

What if Portland drafted Michael Jordan instead of Sam Bowie? It's the question that has been keeping Blazer fans up at night for decades, but "NBA 2K11" is finally going to let you see what life is like with His Airness in the City of Roses. In fact, any NBA fan who ever dreamed of Being Like Mike, or at least having Air Jordan leading their franchise to a title is sure to be intrigued by the game's new MJ: Creating a Legend mode.

"This is a brand new experience that we're delivering to our users this year, and it's a mode that's not immediately available when you purchase the game," explains "NBA 2K11" producer Erick Boenisch.

Gamers will first need to complete all ten of the classic match-ups in "2K11's" Jordan Challenge by recreating moments like the night MJ dropped 69 on the Cavs or reliving his rivalry against the Bad Boys of Detroit.

Then once The Jordan Challenge is beat in its entirety, the single-player, offline-only Creating a Legend mode unlocks.

"The idea behind MJ: Creating a Legend is that you're going to step into today's NBA with a rookie Michael Jordan," says Boenisch. "He is rated a 79 overall, which gives you plenty of room to improve, but he has all of the physical tools of Michael as a rookie -- the fast speed, the high jumping, the quickness -- but he lacks a lot of the shooting skills and the offensive and defensive awareness. So you're playing with a raw prospect who can do just about anything, but can't deliver in the clutch just yet.

"And the cool thing about this mode is that you're player-locked to Michael Jordan, so you're kind of re-creating the career and the legend of Michael Jordan."


Brian Spurlock/US PresswireDrafting Michael Jordan to your favorite NBA team is now just a click away thanks to "NBA 2K11".

Only this time, when gamers start the mode, they can choose to add Jordan to any team in the league. So whether you want to send him to Cleveland to replace LeBron or take him to Portland to right the wrong of the 1984 draft or make maybe the most insane video game team of all time by joining Jordan with the Heat, the choice is yours.

"I tend to play with the Heat right now," admits Boenisch, claiming to already have won one championship. "But the mode is along the lines of My Player in terms of trying to earn skill points with the ultimate goal of making Michael Jordan the best player he can be. You want to get him that 99 rating and win as many titles as you can. But this isn't one of those modes where you struggle right away. There's instant gratification here because you're really good from the start. Like I said, your shooting skills might be a little rough to start out, but you have the physical ability to dominate any game if you want.

"You're playing as Michael Jordan, and that's something that hasn't been offered this entire generation of consoles. It's something we're really excited about."

Also exciting is the news that Jordan's physical appearance will transform as he ages in the game. Adds Boenisch: "When you start out as a rookie, you're going to start out with the short fade, the short little hair. Then as he gets older you're going to see him go with the bald look, then the mustache in the middle years, and his body will bulk up a little bit as he slowly becomes the older Jordan. For fans of Jordan, it's really cool to see the progression and play as Michael and see what it is like to relive that skill that he had to takeover any game."

And according to Boenisch, gamers will be able to play as Jordan from his rookie year all the way up to about age 40 as the rest of the NBA changes around you, complete with player trades and signings. Only thing missing is giving virtual MJ the ability to take time off for baseball. "You cannot play for the Birmingham Barons, sorry," Boenisch says with a laugh. "But it's a lot of fun, and it gives people something to look forward to as they play through the Jordan Challenge. We have achievements tied to this mode as well to give people more incentive to play, but this mode is all about kicking back on the couch, grabbing a controller, and having a lot of fun. It's a great mode to just pickup and play.

"We went big with Jordan this year. It's all about Michael."
 
I can see myself coppin this for the Jordan mode alone around this time next year for like $10.00...NBA ELite is lookin mighty nice
