Now the Insider thankfully talks to you less between games and instead, your character has a voice by the use of a post game media conference. Though this mode still has its flaws, 2K has made improvements to its experience system and even added a few features to give it your created player a bit more personality. The My Player mode is also another mode that has received a lot of praise and attention as well. This has its appeal and makes it so that you don’t have to ‘create’ MJ and build him up in the My Player mode so this novel little bonus is certainly welcome. This allows you to see “what-if” Jordan was still playing today. The award for finishing all of the challenges makes Jordan available to be drafted into the single player modes as well. Sports fans love to talk about “what-if” situations and NBA 2K11 delivers.

This feature is one that has been on hardcore sports fan’s wish list for most pro sports games for YEARS! Of course, hoping and praying for certain classic teams such as Barkley’s Phoenix Suns were not possible due to licensing issues. 2K even sweetens the pot by allowing use of all of these classic teams (except the different Bulls teams) in the various single player modes (Association, Season, Playoffs, etc.). The Lakers will razzle-dazzle and run every chance they get with their seemingly unlimited amount of scoring weapons. The Detroit Pistons will bang Jordan around and make him work. The Celtics will slow the game down on offense and lull you to sleep. Not only will basketball fans enjoy using Jordan in these challenges, they will no doubt appreciate the attention to how these teams and stars play. You’ll face Magic, Bird, Gary Payton and the Supersonics, Stockton, Malone, Clyde Drexler, Dominique Wilkins, the Cavs, Ewing and the Knicks, as well as the Bad Boy Detroit Pistons.

The ten challenges are set up to recreate nine different games and 1 playoff series that Jordan wowed basketball fans with during the entire span of his career. You’ll play as Jordan in different parts of his career which will cause you to use him differently (especially since you’ll face different legendary stars and teams). 2K Sports had no choice but to be impressive once Jordan allowed them to have him as a playable character in the game and they did not disappoint. The Jordan Challenge Mode is ultimately the casual sports gamer draw of this 2K revision. Later on it becomes annoying since not running an assigned play for a player that isn’t as good as your created player results in a demerit. At first, it makes sense as your My Player goes from rookie to established starter. Even as you play on the My Player mode, 2K enforces this play-calling mantra. Play as or with Boston with the playcalling on “auto” will certainly lead to virtual Doc Rivers calling Ray Allen’s play where he runs cross court along the baseline to the corner for a three point catch-and-shoot. This personality set also shows a bit more in the plays that the teams run as well. Redick the high scorer on the Magic as you simulate games. This makes for the AI actually running more accurate offensive sets that won’t have J.J. Each player has a tendency scale that shows where a majority of their scoring takes place whether it is driving to the hoop, launching threes, or somewhere in between. In NBA2K11, they continue this attention to detail and incorporate the personalities of the players as well. Pulling off certain dribbling maneuvers helps you get into the paint more, but you can do so by other methods of course. Also, the ISOmotion move set is something that is available yet not mandatory.
Maybe the concept works better because of the sport than in other sports games but the mastering of multiple players’ shot separates the good from the great players.
What has set 2K above all other basketball games is its signature shooting. Historically, 2K has done as well if not better than its competition since its genesis back in late 1999 on the Sega Dreamcast. So, what makes this game so much better than the rest? IGN.com claims that it is “the greatest basketball game ever made”. On top of that, the game is receiving rave reviews. Beginning with getting the rights to feature Jordan on the cover AND in the game sparked a buzz that continues well after its release. Brown has allowed us to use his work, edited and adapted to our scoring metric.)ĢK Sports’ new revision of the NBA2K franchise, NBA 2K11, is receiving a lot of attention nowadays.
