I bought 2K11 today and I have already played a lot of hours, this game is simply the best basketball game ever!
My Xbox ID : Drucci
I didn't follow Jordan when he played because I was a kid and didn't know the NBA at that time but man, all the modes/games involving him are so well done, it's a pleasure to play them and feel the atmosphere so I can only imagine how awesome it must be for Jordan fans to play with him and recreate his greatest games. By the way, the intro to the game is just brilliant, I won't say more not to spoil it but it gets you right in and excited, ready to play!
The graphics are improved, especially the faces (Big Baby is really well done while he was unrecognizable before, same for Pierce). All the moves of every player are perfectly retranscripted, it's awesome (Pierce, again, finally has his real moves). Also, I love all the details put in the game : all the players claiming the possession belongs to their team after a loose ball, the falls of players on the court after attempting a shot, the reactions on the bench, the interactions between players during free throws, etc. It even goes in the sound effects since you can hear players talking during the game!
So it's really immersive and fun to watch. I play in All-Star difficulty and for once it's realistic in the sense that you usually play close games, and making a big run doesn't ensure you a win since the other team usually makes a big run to get back in the game. I still think there are not enough fouls called (although LeBron always got FT's whenever he shot the ball in Association mode against the C's... but, yeah, it's realistic, unfortunately
) and I find the quickness of the legs animation quite strange when players run up the court, they are running at a normal speed but their legs go twice as fast. Weird.
I tried the Jordan Challenge of his 63 points against the Celtics and it was really fun. I wonder how much how our success in the challenge depends on our skills and how much on the computer's "help" since you often can dunk at ease or can't miss a shot with MJ, but it's really fun to have challenges (they are multiple) in one game, to recreate the real story and to surpass it, even.
I have a hard time setting screens now, I think I will have to practice because it used to be easy but it isn't anymore. Same for going in the post, it's not as easy as it used to be. Also, the ability of faking a pass is a great addition and it's really fun (and useful) to use, especially with Rondo!
Anyway, I've said enough, this game is just great... and I'm already back on it.
