Once again Kevin Harlan and Clark Kellogg team-up to provide input on the action, along with some fun perks on what's going on around the league. The real highlight though? Dynamic commentary. ![]() You'll see players show up to the game, stepping off the team bus rocking their nicest attire, warming up in pre-game, and performing player specific rituals. ![]() Not only are the graphics great, and improved this year, but presentation as a whole. Not only in gameplay and feel, but also with it's crisp, life-like visuals. Words can only go so far in explaining the various details that have gone into assuring the 2K11 is the most realistic game of basketball to date. The gameplay of NBA 2K11 is something so dynamic that you have to experience it for yourself. While before you may have felt like your moves were at the fate of animations, now there is much less reliance on animations playing out, and you'll have a say in exactly what you want your players to do. After a little experimenting, you will get the feeling that you are in full control of your ballhandler's movements. Also improved are the revamped Isomotion controls. You have to put thought into each possession if you don't want your opponent's defense to take advantage of you, even on the lower difficulty settings. You can't throw passes about lazily like you may have gotten away with in the past. The AI has seen an improvement in intelligence. From a long time 2K basketball sim player, admittedly when I popped the disc in I struggled for the first few games.

While the NBA 2K series has been know for providing the smoothest and most realistic on-court action for over a decade now, 2K11 has upped the ante. All these modes though, would be worthless without great basketball. NBA 2K11 includes so many modes and things to do that you'll be set long after the real-life champion is crowned. The amount of work that went into making sure the classic players and teams look and play like they would have if this kind of gaming technology had been around when they played is incredible, and the only thing more amazing is that in the long run of your time with 2K11, the great feature of old-school teams will become an afterthought. These teams can be pitted against other classic teams, or even current teams in exhibition, or even imported into the Association mode. Thankfully, you can use all of the classic teams including all the late 80's to mid 90's Bulls, along with the 1990 “Bad Boy” Pistons and 1995 New York Knicks. ![]() Each game has specific goals you must achieve to successfully complete the challenge, such as scoring a certain amount of points, grabbing x amount of rebounds, and making sure you come away with a win.Īs much fun as it is playing as his Airness in his prime, the moments lose a bit of their fun before you complete all of them, as you may grow tired of being forced to focus on upping Jordan's stats, and cheesing away to make sure you accomplish the goals.

From Jordan's 63 point showing in 1986 against the Bird-lead Celtics to the “Flu Game” heroics against the Jazz in the 1997 NBA Finals. This mode allows you to re-enact 10 of Jordan's greatest games ever, which the man himself helped pick out. A new feature this year is the Jordan Challenge. The inclusion of MJ is more than just just a ploy to put him on the cover and move more units. Michael Jordan, considered by some to be the best to ever step foot on the hardwood, was surprisingly made the cover boy of the latest edition to 2K's venerable franchise.
