[dk_]

So why did Take2 not include Move support in the demo?

 

[Herpes Reasons]

first come first serve basis. i dont know how smokey will assign teams.
as for the ps3 league, i hope we can get at least 16+ players.
and what do you guys think of having a paypal league for the ps3 users?
maybe something of $20 buy-in and finals winner wins the pot?

 

[DCX]

So why did Take2 not include Move support in the demo?

shhh..Move is a hardware platform :/

DCX

 

[Birdman02]

I'm in for the 360 league as the Mavs.

 

[Smokey]

360 league will consist of a tournament as well as league.

Tournament I'll be offering $30 gift certificate to GS for the winner
League champion $75 gift certificate for the winner

 

[charsace]

Soon you will edit that banner to reflect the scam 2k is pulling off.

Not surprised a fraud like Kobe would pimp this series.

"We can't wait for 2scam11!"

[daw840]

We'll see if this is actually worth any money whatsoever. I bought 2k10 used for $30 and still felt ripped off....

I got it launch for 55 and again after i sold it. ( the first time i sold a 360 game since i got it ) I bought it again after Smokey convinced me patch 3,4989 would work, wrong.. so 80-85 bucks for a shitty game.

Smokey owes me money

[jobber]

After playing a beta build of BOTH systems (don't ask how)..the Move aspect if kinda cool..but I'm going with 360.

In with the Spurs..make sure I don't play foggy or I leave.

Really dunno what your issue is but you've been taking subtle little shots at me for no reason for awhile now. So you can say what's on your mind and stop acting childish or just join the PS3 league. Simple.

 

[charsace]

I'm kind of mad at myself for not thinking of the foggy thing.

Look at it this way Smokey; better for you if jobber beats you in a tight playoff series than to get that ass whopped out the league via domination by me.

Though maybe the league might be better off if that Beasley lover doesn't have Duncan for league play. You know who you are you elbow jump shot loving chump.

 

[outsida]

I must be the only person on Gaf that plays the PC version.

:lol

I applaud the courage of those who are willing to pick up 2K yet again after the 2 consecutive turds they've laid out.

The demo felt like the same garbage they've repackaged since 2K9.

2K Sports mantra for the past 2 years has basically been: We don't give a fuck™

Enjoy the game folks.

 

[DY_nasty]

I'm in, if for no other reason than to keep Cloudy away from the Bobcats.

Oh and fantasy draft

I haven't even dled the demo yet and I agree with this. Just from watching the vids all I could see is the same damn game. Whatever they did with the CHoops series that made it hard to go jordan mode should be done to the NBA series.

 

[rinse82]

same game?

You show a vid of the better animation in this year's game. What else am I supposed to be seeing? Am I supposed to get excited about the iso game superstars have which has been a big problem throughout the series?

 

[ecnal]

shows off the new controls and how you can back in/out of animations at will--no more stuck in animations.

2k11 jacked live 10's controls almost in their entirety. thanks mike wang

I think this will much more appropriate if the game is the same shit as last year:

 

[Fun Factor]

same game?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMMAtXFf5kA&feature=player_embedded

Holy Shit, I didn't even come close to pulling off some of those moves with the ISOmotion controls.
Damn them for not including a tutorial of any kind with the demo.

I feel the the idea of this being a scam is shrinking...

 

[smik]

same game?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMMAtXFf5kA&feature=player_embedded

this

first couple of posters are already trying to ruin the thread without even playing the full game GTFO haters!
i really dont see any other NBA games (lol Elite+pack in) getting close to 2k this year


i haven't bought a NBA game in years (2k3) until nba2k10 came out and i thought it was exceptional, playing the 2k11 demo
i can already see its alot better. only thing i didnt like was the lag in NBA2k10 but im more interested in playing against friends on local

 

[kamspy]

Damn. I gotta check out the Buck Williams - Ho Grant match up. Who's the semi-greatest goggled forward in the history of the league....?

?

 

[SlickVic]

The My Career RPG-esque stuff and all the Jordan related stuff is enough for me to get it day 1. Sorry.

Same. Lower price on the PC version makes this an easy purchase. That, and I don't really play online so the buggy netcode doesn't really affect me. Can't wait to try the Jordan challenges.

 

[ecnal]

Damn them for not including a tutorial of any kind with the demo.

OS has a list of controls for the 360 version if that helps.

[Omiee]

no pc league..?

 

[ToyMachine228]

I'm undecided but I think I want to get NBA Elite. I haven't bought a sports game in ages but I've been really into basketball the past few years and I want to get a basketball game. I'll wait for both games to be reviewed. How's the NBA Elite demo?

 

[Nabs]

no pc league..?

if we have enough i call celtics. does the pc ver. support leagues? i have to ask because this is 2k.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

no pc league..?

i remember from last year there were no more than a handful that were getting the pc version.
i dont mind adding a pc league list to the OP assuming there are enough interested parties and someone willing to be commish.

 

[benjipwns]

How's the NBA Elite demo?

Unreleased, no date that I'm aware of.

You will never defeat me when it counts. Repeat this to yourself!

shots fired:lol . oh man, how i miss 2k league trash talking.


BTW, 360 league will have a grand prize for the the finals winner in a form of a gift card.
undetermined amount to be decided by smokey.

edit:
added Day 6 of "Ten Teams in 10 Days: Miami Heat"

 

[Cloudy]

I'd prefer to play on 360. I'm definitely in though...

Lakers!
