What's New in NBA 2K11

Since we at our channel are HUGE NBA fans, we were really excited about NBA 2K11. Here are a few things that it has to offer that were improved from 2K10.  Overall, this game is a HUGE jump from last year.

Better My Player Mode:
The My Player mode was really glitchy last year, and it wasn't that interesting. Your teammates often just went into animations, and couldn't really find you when you were open. That has totally changed this year. Now, you can run plays and your teammates will find you.

Better Gameplay:
Last year, the gameplay was pretty good, but it sometimes just went into animations that were impossible to stop, or always had the same outcome. Players also couldn't pass, and field goal percentages were WAYYYY too high, making it feel more like an arcade game. This has changed this year. The gameplay feels totally realistic, and teams play like they would do in real life. If the only thing that changed was the gameplay, I would still purchase 2K11.

Presentation:
2K11 has really made a big jump with presentation this year. Last year, everything wasn't that exciting. Now, before every game starts, there is an extremely cool intro. Player models look so much better, and the Starting Lineup screen is also improved. There are also types of "commercials", where the game uses NBA Today to connect to the internet and give a preview for a real NBA basketball game. The presentation of the ads look really nice, and end with the two superstars on each team being split in half into one face.

Jordan Mode:
Last year didn't have Jordan Mode, but the Jordan Challenges aren't really as fun as I thought they were. The Jordan Challenges kind of take away from the game, as all you are trying to do is going iso with Jordan. However, adding teams from the 60's-90's era really made the game better, as it's fun to play with stars from the past.

Overall, this game is a huge jump from last year. Pick it up!
