The Other End of the Court
So what good are all these offensive weapons if the defense doesn?t have the tools to counter? That was something we were very conscious of throughout feature development and something we knew we had to get right in order to have a fun and balanced experience.
The first order of business was movement. As any coach will tell you, moving your feet is the key to good onball defense. Our lead AI engineer worked closely with Jerson (Gameplay Producer and my late night online nemesis) to completely redo our offensive and defensive movement engine. The end product is a very tight movement model that both feels and looks fantastic. Finally, users will be able to consistently stay in front of the ball handler, even in an online setting, without any artificial cheats or assists from the CPU. We?ve completely gone away from the Lockdown Defense idea (aka. Auto-D) and returned the Left Trigger to a movement modifier to give you full control over your facing. In NBA 2K11, playing solid onball defense has returned to being a skill that rewards quick reflexes on the gamer?s part, rather than allowing people to sit back and let the AI do the work for them.

The Right Analog stick gives you the ability to jump in front for a charge (a la Fisher), or when coupled with the Left Trigger, allows you to play a quick cutoff move in any direction. If you read the ball handler and anticipate his movement correctly, you can jump in his path and knock him back – causing him to get deflected off course, pick up his dribble, or even lose the ball.

The second line of defense has been greatly enhanced as well. We?ve implemented a new midair collision system that allows for all kinds of body to body contact. If you meet a shooter in the air on his way for a layup or dunk, or if you slide underneath him to try and take a charge, you?ll see some beautiful collision animations result. The major difference between the new system and the old, is that we used to validate multi-actor animations while both players were still on the floor. So once these animations kicked off, you were stuck watching the rest of the sequence play out and there wasn?t much you could do – sometimes your defender would get snatched away from you and perform an entire defensive play all on their own. At the time, it was the best solution to prevent ?ghosting? (players going through other players), but obviously a lot of control was taken away from the user in the process. With the new midair branching system, we can keep the user-controlled defenders under the user?s control and still have a proper collision response when bodies bang. And for those of you worried about high volume scoring in the paint, let me put your mind to rest now. People continually forcing shots inside will pay the consequences this year. We?ve spent a lot of time balancing the inside/outside game and if you want to be successful in NBA 2K11, you?re going to need to distribute your shots evenly and work for high percentage looks.

Rob mentioned this last week, but it?s worth mentioning again. The blocking code was completely re-written this year. Timing the block feels much better and throwing a shot into the stands is more gratifying than ever. You?ll see everything from catch blocks, to chase down backboard pins, and everything in between. They?ve created some of our favorite highlight moments this development cycle.

And if all that fails, hold RT (R2 on PS3) and push the Right Analog toward the ball handler for a hard foul. That?s always fun.

some of this isn’t new (some of it was just missing from 2k11) but i’m excited for chase down blocks and not getting fouls just because the ai decided to block a shot for me.

So fantastic.

ETEP1 · September 4, 2010, 1:21am

glorious

JAMSMASTERP · September 4, 2010, 11:27pm

Spain and greece are looking good. The greek are relying on the 3 a bit much but they are hitting a good percentage. Also greece has a brotha.

lol these announcers are mad stupid. they’re hyping this giant turkish center (asik) by saying “he’s dominating an NBA center!”…the ‘NBA center’ in question is ian mahnini who averaged 6 minutes a game in his 23 appearances last year.

ckrazy · September 6, 2010, 1:05am

Technically he still is a NBA center though…

thurst · September 6, 2010, 1:08am

lol yeah i guess, but the guy is like “whew the international game is really catching up!”…i mean, shit i’d hope that the fucking best center in turkey would be able to dominate a guy an NBA benchwarmer (who’s french and giving up almost 40 lbs, btw).

ckrazy · September 6, 2010, 1:15am

The international game will never catch up unless Africa jumps into the mix (A full squad of Hakeem the Dream!) or European nations abandon or at least neglect Soccer for a long period of time. The NBA is far superior in athleticism that less skill players can still dominate due to raw strength, and speed. Let alone players will more skill + more athleticism. No way in hell any international team fucking with NBA players. Their only chance of winning is playing perfect “team” basketball, which is the only thing USA teams lack.

MLS never will be better than the Premier league, and the Euro league will never be better than the NBA.

I am only on the internet once a week.

I meant blacklist for the year, not during the draft. Trade as much as you want with Kim during the draft.

That Pau trade is going to have to be rescinded. You guys did that wrong.

Kim gets your 3rd round pick, you keep Pau (this is what you are doing right?), and then Kim gives you his last pick back. That needs to be done so everyone has the same amount of picks. I am going to redo the trade like that. If you guys want me to fix it, tell me, I’ll do it next week. I will only be on here for till like 11 hopefully so I can go home and catch the second showing of Mad Menz.

QE - And a 3rd rounder is more then enough for Pau. Adding the 7th makes it crazy.

ckrazy · September 6, 2010, 2:42am

Worst GM ever! How can you regulate this shit, if you’re not even here!

Whatever you will be the 1st to trade with Kim you mayo eating F@G.

kimterran · September 6, 2010, 2:58am

That trade is fine with me. I’m guess Morph is too because he won’t give up his 7th round pick anymore. Fix that trade ViciousSLASH.

ViciousSLASH · September 6, 2010, 3:16am

Already did. lol @ your draft picks. You have the VS draft from last year. But this time you have Bron.

It’s okay, I have Durant. Anyone wanting a 60ish and an 80ish pick for their 3rd rounder and one of their last picks, hit me up. I will try that this year. All third and last rounders.

QE - Ckrazy, I will get internet in like the first week of October. Shit no one was trading for like 3 whole months. Don’t get mad because Morph just got Pau.

Sadly this is kinda the truth, at least in germany. Our best athletes usually play football or handball. Football is the first, second and third fav sport here …, followed by handball and ice hockey. In most medium sized cities you have zero basketball promotion and youth that actually wants to play. Streetball courts are usually occupied by street football peeps, even here in Berlin. Though the situation here is better and thanks to Alba and a lot of imigrants we have some talents now and then.

Lots of people have no idea who Dirk Nowitzki is for example or Detlef Schrempf. -_-

I also recommend to set the world basketball standart to NBA rules, to make it just like in football where you got 1 standart rule set in every country. That also helps to increase assists and PPG, becouse america and the NBA have a lot of advantages as what counts as an actual assist and how you are allowed to drive and dribble fro mthe triple threat.

Anyway, seems Chris Pauls teams to be traded to list included the Mavs. He he he, thinking about a trade for Chandler, Butler or JT with Beaubois or so might be attractive … Kidd and Paul at the 1 would be awesome. Paul can create his own shoot and take over a game, something which would greatly benefit Dirk, too.

I changed my team name in the fun league. I am now chanukah.

My league is now full as well.
