Lot’s of great news for NBA 2K11 dropped recently from 2kSports. They are trying to make the game real smart and have players play exactly how they do in the real NBA. We already have spot on custom player animations for shooting , dribbling,  post moves, etc.. But thanks to more in depth player tendency’s you’ll see players look more like themselves. Like for instance taking it to the basket with LeBron will feel more aggressive compared to taking it to the rim with D Wade. You will see certain players using the glass more such as Tim Duncan. They also have addressed the always glitchy baseline area making that area of the court more of a danger area now instead of a cheap way to get to the basket and score 2 points.

Defensively, NBA 2K11 will play smarter as well. For an example help defense will try and cut you off at a better angle to the basket instead of running right at you (and also getting blown by like we have seen in past NBA 2K games.) On ball defense controls have been improved and shading players to the left or the right could be a big part defensively in NBA 2K11.  Another interesting feature i thought was the GameStyle options you will now have. More of an arcade player? Simply set GameStyle to Casual to see the sick and 1 dunks and them crazy ally oops on the fast break. If that’s not for you another option you can play on is called: Simulation. This for those hard core sim players that want to have 100 point games on 12 minute quarters with completely realistic stats and shooting percentages.

So this is my take on the great NBA 2K11 news and features today. You can see the full article here: 2ksports.com/community/insights/
