NBA 2k11 looks fantastic!

Clark isn't too bad. It is him and Kevin Harlan, IIRC. The commentary is pretty good -- far better than the steaming pile of dung that is Madden's commentary.

so i got this today from my mom for my bday. i got my ass kicked in the game1 finals when i was the bulls.

anyone have some pointers for a noob to this game? i havent really played any nba2k games before. i figured out how RB lets you pick specifically who you want to pass to, and LB calls plays (although i wasn't really running them well at all).

i just found it very hard to get someone open, and then when i was open i was missing mostof my shots. i was shooting with X and holding it till the peak of the jump then releasing it. is that timing correct?

guess i just want some pointers in general at how to play good at this game, thanks.

#1 adjust the passing sliders a bit. It is VERY hard to connect passes unless you are running plays. I just touched mine up to 65 or so IIRC.
#2 run plays
#3 even if you adjust your sliders to high fast-break and quick temp offense, you HAVE to be patient.
#4 buy NBA Jam cuz its a damned blast.
#5 Happy Birthday bro

turn on shot feedback, some guys have tricky shot releases

When inbounding, try initiating a play before crossing halfcourt to get set up quicker

practice the post game and iso moves

have fun!

Practice the releases for every player and obviously make sure no one is right in your face while shooting.

Exactly what I was going to say too.
Its all about practice (or sliders) and being open/covered makes a HUGE difference. How good is the player's shot of dribble? In traffic? Know his range, etc etc.

I personally end up playing My Player on these games almost exclusively. They are getting better at implementing it, but it still lacks.

Like why can I not adjust the game settings? 5min quarters is too short to get your stats up!

Do you find it better to use the button or joystick?

I use the button and set it to real fg%. After tweaking some sliders it's fine. Go to operationsports.com forums - they have good sliders there.
