Six Fixes for NBA 2K11

[FamousAtticus]

Solid points. I definitely feel that the 2k series needs a vast improvement in atmosphere. I honestly cant tell the difference when playing in the Association mode between a regular season game or an NBA Finals game 7(other than the Finals logo on the court and the announcers dialogue). In the same regard I would like to see a regular season game between the Nets and Timberwolves be true to life, not with the seats full like it was some sort of important game. As far as the 6th "fixes" I completely agree, team relocation would be a unique feature if done right. I also think it would be great if they could incorporate a create-a-arena feature during/for Association mode(cant see certain teams still playing in their current arena's 15 years into the Association).

good stuff, particularly defense and animations. i personally would put a lot more things ahead of some of these though like fixing all of the terrible glitches in the game like the 3 pt. shooting and CPU trade logic. also, whatever happened to 82games and the realistic tendencies? the default 2k rosters are atrocious. before getting into it too much...can we finally completely fix the framerate? it's been like 3 years and there still problems, especially on the first FT.

Better playcalling/execution is at the top of my list.

With Mike Wang back on board we should see these.

Ditto that. An effective, and working playcalling system would definitely lead to a much more realistic experience and would do wonders for this game as far as making it more "sim". The playcalling system as it is, is almost unbearable to watch, and quite honestly, most of the plays aren't worth running because they are so time consuming, and ineffective. People like to say "this aspect" or "that aspect is so last gen", but nothing screams last gen louder than NBA 2K's current playcalling system. I'd have movement+control as my 1A. however. Numbers 1,4, and 6 from this article are all necessities and extras IMO (even though I think 6 is a good idea, especially with me playing association heavily.) Number 1, I think is a given that they'll be great strides made in regards to this mode seeing as how 2K10 was the first game to feature my player.

Please do away with the auto-posting up... Give that option back to the player... Auto anything is never the way to go. Players want control!

Biggest issue I see is the inability to move freely around the court. I feel I get "sucked in" by the opposing defense. Either that or an animation controls how I move. Get back to basics, it's a basketball game. I have a real hard time creating separation when a mis-match presents itself. I will control a PG mismatched on a switch against a PF or even C and still can't cross them up enough to get a clear path to the hoop. Very frustrating. Is anyone else having this problem this year?

i'd like to see:

1. tighter control
2. nba live's "double and recover" defense logic
3. better plays or user created plays

please for the love of all that is holy DO NOT TOUCH PRACTICE MODE the way Live killed theirs...

Playoff atmosphere would go a long way in my opinion

I would say animation and defense are my biggest pet peeves about this game. I hate when I do a pick and roll but my pg can't move at all. Defense in my opinion sucks because teams can easily get in the middle and my guys don't do anything. I even play 2-3 zone but no dice.

Also I feel running plays should be different. I have a hard time getting on the starting point and therefore the play doesn't start. I then find my self running out of time so I hurry a shot. Maybe I just need to work on it more but why don't they just make it to where you just have to be close to an area in order for the play to start.

Other than that I love this game.
