A "Developer Insight" has been posted at 2ksports.com. The blog update describes a significant number of gameplay details about what to expect from NBA 2k11 - both in terms of offensive and defensive gameplay changes and additions.
Up until this year, plays in 2K basketball have been generic. There were a few team-specific ones, but for the most part, all teams would run the same stuff. For this year, we hired a 3rd party consultant to not only scout each and every NBA team (including classic teams for our Jordan Challenge), but to also implement and test the play data himself. It was a long and arduous process for him, but the work is a complete game changer. I’ll admit that even as a hardcore basketball gamer, I used to only call plays about 10-20% of the time in past games. Now, I pretty much call a play every trip down the floor. |
