This game was godly!! Yes kobe looked like a alien, but you had to have skills to play in 2k14 everyone spams lebron. In 2k11 defense and running plays mattered
Can you still highlight a teammate while your dribbling and tell him to either set a pick, cut the the hoop, spot up, or post up? I loved that about 2k6, haven't played it much since then.
When will Kobe's achievements become playable in an NBA video game? Like score 81 points in one game against the Raptors? Or something like outscore Dallas Mavericks by 62-60 after three quarters using Kobe... That would be sweet! :)
9.5 my ass! If every aspect of this game was working well then maybe but they don't. Instead what we have here is a game plagued with terrible glitches, errors, crappy on-line play, my players 25 feet tall, and bugs. How in the hell can this game be called the best video game of it's generation? Please! For all of you who waited and were on the bubble about getting this game don't. It's so not worth of the hype and blown up props it's been getting. Sad but true.
2K11 has a summer league, and doesn't let you skip your way into the NBA. Less cheese in 2K11. HOF isn't complete shit in 2K11, Jordan greatest moments. In 2K16, you can spam a sizeup to get ankle breakers, but in 2K11 the sizeups aren't OP. In 2K16, (this one is the most ridiculous) players like Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook can't blow by defenders easily, and get bumped frequently. Even when it's a bad defender, they get D'ed up on.
@RKO3650 If you're talking about jumpshot feedback just go to presentation on the in game menu I believe, scroll down to jump shot feedback, and turn it on.
Pedro Granja i was able to manually update my rosters, but that is a HUGE struggle to be honest. The only reason i would buy the newest 2k if i were you is for the updated rosters. 2k 11 plays the best, but its not that fun if your playing with NBA rosters from 2010.
Pedro Granja So while 2k 11 is the best basketball game ever in my opinion, if i were you i would probably by the game with the most recent rosters. Year is almost over, you may want to wait for 2k16 if your willing to spend 60$
I just got the game today and love it. I lost my first two games because I'm used to playing Live but still. It's a lot more fun because of the attention to detail and because I don't win by 75 points everytime.
@j3wilks i know, and even if you dont go first round pick, you can be on the starting 5 within 12 or so games. the comment made by ign does not do justice to the my player mode
@iSilverSingH like editing player's stats as in making them better at shooting, blocking, rebounding, etc. sometimes the developers don't get all the player's abilities right.
@Kobeownzu81 I've noticed that with a alot of sports games recently. Like when I played FIFA the other day I struggled for the entire match to get a goal, and when I finally scored and the other team kicked off, my masterclass defence suddenly parted like a scene from the bible and they scored with ease.
@thuglife180 u gotta put the mode to hall of fame....it automatically starts off on the "pro" setting...oncce you up the difficulty, those threes will decrease.....i had the same complaint
@taekaboybaho2 customize your controls in the settings, you will see some shot stick right,left,up and down if your near in the ring, press one of those and you might see a dunk
i bet in future nba games they are gonna have old school teams vs new school teams. like the old celtics vs the new bulls or the old celtics vs the new celtics etc
you know what i miss when you have a wide open run to the basket from half to full court if your quick or a guard you would break out in sprint not jog like in 2k10
playing my player on Hall of Fame difficulty. its frickin impossible. i got 94pts, 28 rebounds, 24 assists, 5 steals, and 5 blocks, but still lost by 10 points. i play for thunder. they really gotta do something about that.
The only issue I find with the 'My player' mode is that when you get drafted it doesn't change the draft at all. I was a PG and got drafted 8th by the Clippers and they still got Aminu. To me that seems pretty ridiculous, the team just got 2 players with 1 one pick....Seriously!? but other then that solid game from the guys at the 2K studios. Now if only they would make another NFL2K game because the Madden games are not cutting it for me at all.
The only problem with My Player is that if your new to the game, it will be sort of difficult. You start with a very low attribute rating compared to Wall or Favors. Other than that, My Player and NBA 2k11 in general is great.
@rg293 I'm thinking of that too because of the Jordan stuff. 2k12 is 39 though now. Everyone's thoughts? Should I get 2k11? Jordan fan here but like the other old school players as well (stockton, malone, nique, wilkins etc).
it doesnt take long to get to the nba in my player. all you have to do is play 3 games pre draft and then 3 after draft in the summer circuit. if youre good you make the team if youre not you get to the d-league. my player in general isnt that hard. i mainly guard but heres some tips do shooting drills and only shooting drills if you're a PG/SG. keep upgrading shot medium and speed then when you get to nba do offensive defensive awarness vertical etc... but its important you do shot medium.
what would be nice if in association mode and on different days in single player mode it has different broadcast channels like tnt and espn with the commentators in those channels with dynamic commentary like it is in real life that would be cool
I have been an NBA Live player since 03, when i saw NBA Elite, i felt ashame. NBA 2K11 demo was so awesome that i'm willing to change from Live to the 2K series. I'm Giving Live 1 more chance but 2K is just killing it. Peace from a player from Sweden.
Does anyone know how you can watch the beginning again when MJ is like "Are you ready?" and it feels so real like you going into the stadium? Id appreciate it.
Why did this reviewer said that the My Player mode takes too long to go to the NBA? I got in with the Milwaukee Bucks at age 19. I dont see anything wrong with that.
@bookereddie Yeah, I did the same thing at first. Also, if it ever tells you that it cannot connect to the 2K servers just quit the game and restart it. It will connect right back to the 2K servers.
im thinking of getting this game but does the association mode have fantasy drafts or do you have to go by what the teams have in real life? cause i wanna draft my own team like in nba live.
@ThePsychoticPanda The only things I knew about basketball was MJ, Kobe, slam dunks and that you score either 2 or 3 points for a basket depending on how far out you are when you shoot. Basketball isn't a big deal where I'm from. I can now watch NBA games online and know exactly what's going on. The game doesn't exactly teach you like a tutorial, but the game is so good you actually make the effort to teach yourself about basketball.
14 ปีที่แล้ว
@MufcATW maybe something in your game options had been changed lol chech the nba rules there
Im a huge hoops fan, but Ive always been dissapointed in the past by basketball games. I think soccer franchises FIFA/PES make a better videogame experience, and some NFL games too. NHL is good too. Is NBA 2k11 worth the hype? I will wait a couple of months and get it for sure.
MJ is a fantastic clutch player and an excellent shooting guard but don't forget Larry Bird,Magic Johnson,Bill Russell,Wilt Chamberlain,Dr.J,Jerry West,Oscar Robertson,the list goes on and on.
@ThePsychoticPanda this game is so addictive. honestly, using the sliders and upping the difficulty you will learn the finesse of the game. when i started playing I had no idea how it worked, playing on rookie with all the sliders on my side and now i am loving it, with the difficulty on all star and the sliders stacked against me and its the most fun i can imagine
@ThePsychoticPanda you should try it and if you enjoy it you might get more into basketball. good luck dude and i hope u end up liking the game itself :)
Is it weird that i got more motivated to play basketball (in real life) and that i got better because of playing this game? [I got more interested in basketball and the nba after playing nba 2k11]
I use to be a Nba Live fan but after playing this game 2-3 hours a day for the last month I absolutely love Nba 2k11. Only thing frustrating me are the cutscenes, all I wanna do is play the game but I am forced to watch all the cutscenes. Is there a way to speed things up, if anybody knows can they please inform me it would be greatly appreciated.
The reason they didnt give this a 10/10 is because of the passing woes because a PF will deflect your pass 8 times if your a pg in my player mode even if you have a 99
@kay9ine1 I play on Superstar and yeah it's ridiculous. I know intense d doesn't affect shots but I still expect my other player to have some sort of A.I. and put a hand up hit they just watch it sail over their heads. Sad thing is when I try it, they are guaranteed to turnover the ball.
10 years later and still the best NBA game ever made!!!
am i the only one that thinks 2k11 has better graphics than 2k13?
i got this game today
and damn it plays better than 2k17
LAKSHAY SHARMA imma bout to get it Friday how is it I heard it's the best 2k game
I bought it for 5 bucks
This game was godly!! Yes kobe looked like a alien, but you had to have skills to play in 2k14 everyone spams lebron. In 2k11 defense and running plays mattered
This is better than NBA live 14 lol
And NBA 2k15
and 2k16.
and 2k17
And 2k18
And probably 2k19
The best 2k ever!!!
not NFL 2K5
not to mention the immortal James Smith David miller John brown Richard Williams who play for all the classic teams and played in every era see 2k16
yes dude THE GOATS
im not in cuba im in......
this game actually took skill
All this game needed was a recreation of Michael's game with the Tune Squad (lol)
best 2k game in history if only this 2k had kept this gameplay and made it better 😥 2k14 was the closest to this
true
Oh
I never played it. Bought it twice and both times it either wouldn't load or it froze once I started a game.
Glenn Tabar nah homey u close but 15 plays the best. 14 aint bad but those signatures messed 2k up 4 current gen. 2 arcadey
dude 2k14 is trash
2k11 is the best sports game ever made I dont need any other 2k game as long as they keep the servers up
Still playing!!!!!! Cuz dis game da bomb!!
This is the most realistic nba 2k game after this one 2k went downhill
stopped gaming for years, just started the ps3 to try n do the jordan challenges
in the jordan challenge i sweeped the lakers and i didn't complete it, it just restarted back at 0-0 series, am i to let lakers win first game?>
3:44 it gets far too long to get into the NBA
Then they removed draft combine in NBA 2K12 and change into rookie showcase
back then 2K listens to us.
I am currently playing this now because I'm stuck on last gen and the new 2ks all look the same.
It's still an amazing game, i play it on my PC too..
was looking for it on PC.. you know anyplace to buy it
store.steampowered.com/sub/6312/
I still play it
Jets Set Nun less me too :D
might even be the best sports game ever
The greatest basketball game ever made.
They updated this review score to only a 8 ??not sure why they would do that and judge it by today standards
man, that Intro sound is Iconic. It gets you pumped up for something impossible to do.
I loved the career mode in this game.
I still have it...
on my PlayStation 2 or 3 idk
Still the best NBA game of all times - 2018
"NBA 2K11 best game ever made."
Well said, Snoop. Well said, indeed.
one of my favorites along with NBA JAM (SNES) and NBA Showtime (N64). I got 2K12 but took that garbage back to the store the next day lol
I only liked 2k12 because of the legend mode
+Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen same
Can you still highlight a teammate while your dribbling and tell him to either set a pick, cut the the hoop, spot up, or post up? I loved that about 2k6, haven't played it much since then.
I still play this because 14 is shit
When will Kobe's achievements become playable in an NBA video game? Like score 81 points in one game against the Raptors? Or something like outscore Dallas Mavericks by 62-60 after three quarters using Kobe... That would be sweet! :)
Best looking 2k on PS3 and Xbox 360
I loved how you could actually do a chasedown block in 2k11, but in 2k13 it's hard just to get a regular block and doesn't look as cool
if you like 2k11 more then 2k12 thumbs up
9.5 my ass! If every aspect of this game was working well then maybe but they don't. Instead what we have here is a game plagued with terrible glitches, errors, crappy on-line play, my players 25 feet tall, and bugs. How in the hell can this game be called the best video game of it's generation? Please!
For all of you who waited and were on the bubble about getting this game don't.
It's so not worth of the hype and blown up props it's been getting. Sad but true.
2k finally surpassed this game with 2k16 I can finally put 2k11 down rest in power 2k11 I will always love you
+kstewart199375 2K11 is better TBH.
David Kankam Don't lie to yourself 2k16 is better in every way you're just nostalgia blind
2K11 is the only game where you have to avoid certain teams because of how realistic it is. Better accessories.
2K11 has a summer league, and doesn't let you skip your way into the NBA. Less cheese in 2K11. HOF isn't complete shit in 2K11, Jordan greatest moments. In 2K16, you can spam a sizeup to get ankle breakers, but in 2K11 the sizeups aren't OP. In 2K16, (this one is the most ridiculous) players like Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook can't blow by defenders easily, and get bumped frequently. Even when it's a bad defender, they get D'ed up on.
You're the blind one my friend.
@RKO3650 If you're talking about jumpshot feedback just go to presentation on the in game menu I believe, scroll down to jump shot feedback, and turn it on.
best nba2k game ever!!!!! will never buy a different nba2k
Pedro Granja i was able to manually update my rosters, but that is a HUGE struggle to be honest. The only reason i would buy the newest 2k if i were you is for the updated rosters. 2k 11 plays the best, but its not that fun if your playing with NBA rosters from 2010.

Pedro Granja lastly, i will say if you are a huge fan of Michael jordan that is enough to make the game worth while.
+Pedro Granja get NBA 2K16 for PS4
I just got the game today and love it. I lost my first two games because I'm used to playing Live but still. It's a lot more fun because of the attention to detail and because I don't win by 75 points everytime.
Best basketball game ever made
@j3wilks i know, and even if you dont go first round pick, you can be on the starting 5 within 12 or so games. the comment made by ign does not do justice to the my player mode
Better than 2k21
For 2k12 they should add more historic teams (such as the 90s Heat and Spurs and Pacers)
This game is so overrated bruh
Wtf u talking about
Facts g
You sound Dumb as Hell
You've upset tied the 2k gods.
@iSilverSingH like editing player's stats as in making them better at shooting, blocking, rebounding, etc. sometimes the developers don't get all the player's abilities right.
@Kobeownzu81 I've noticed that with a alot of sports games recently. Like when I played FIFA the other day I struggled for the entire match to get a goal, and when I finally scored and the other team kicked off, my masterclass defence suddenly parted like a scene from the bible and they scored with ease.
@pachendrix so the jordan feature isnt going to be in nba2k12? :O
on 2k12 they should add playing as a real life rookie. John wall or something if it were last year
@thuglife180 u gotta put the mode to hall of fame....it automatically starts off on the "pro" setting...oncce you up the difficulty, those threes will decrease.....i had the same complaint
@taekaboybaho2 customize your controls
in the settings, you will see some
shot stick right,left,up and down
if your near in the ring,
press one of those and you might see a dunk
this is by far ign's best review ever.
@deviIstudios they stop giving any roster updates for old nba 2ks when a new nba 2k comes out
Is there mini games? Like 3 point shootout or just like an all-star weekend mode? what mini games are there?!?!?
@thescrogdog downloading it to your system and taking care of your disc might help with that minuscule problem
when are they gonna update Minnesota's and Orlando's black jersey???
@MultiGuest7 go to operation sports forums they got some forums which you can download roster updates
@TheAmerigoCorleone Oh ok sweet! But why wasnt the gameplay good?
@MrCocoaNinja what difficulty did u play on
i bet in future nba games they are gonna have old school teams vs new school teams. like the old celtics vs the new bulls or the old celtics vs the new celtics etc
I wish they would have included Lebron's "Block the lay up off the backboard on a fast break" move
@Moocow002 Then why was nfl 2k5 the last one in the series? but i agree with ncaa though.
the only bad thing bout 2k11 is some bad player graphics, loading sometimes takes too long.. and when you load something it freezes...
you know what i miss when you have a wide open run to the basket from half to full court if your quick or a guard you would break out in sprint not jog like in 2k10
playing my player on Hall of Fame difficulty. its frickin impossible. i got 94pts, 28 rebounds, 24 assists, 5 steals, and 5 blocks, but still lost by 10 points. i play for thunder. they really gotta do something about that.

Now if only they would make another NFL2K game because the Madden games are not cutting it for me at all.
i don´t know what game ign are playing but it only takes 3 games to get to the nba in my player mode!
sounded like they were describing 2k10
The only problem with My Player is that if your new to the game, it will be sort of difficult. You start with a very low attribute rating compared to Wall or Favors. Other than that, My Player and NBA 2k11 in general is great.
@rg293 I'm thinking of that too because of the Jordan stuff. 2k12 is 39 though now. Everyone's thoughts? Should I get 2k11? Jordan fan here but like the other old school players as well (stockton, malone, nique, wilkins etc).
Are the servers still up on this game? Like can you do ranked matches still?
you should be able to
***** no you can still play with ranked matches
+Diesel Dee Well not anymore
+Diesel Dee as of now that games dead
it doesnt take long to get to the nba in my player. all you have to do is play 3 games pre draft and then 3 after draft in the summer circuit. if youre good you make the team if youre not you get to the d-league. my player in general isnt that hard. i mainly guard but heres some tips do shooting drills and only shooting drills if you're a PG/SG. keep upgrading shot medium and speed then when you get to nba do offensive defensive awarness vertical etc... but its important you do shot medium.
The only mistakes i make on this game is passing it to the wrong teammates and shooting it when i meant to pump fake.
"We're Here To Save the Day" and "Champions" are the best songs on thegame
what would be nice if in association mode and on different days in single player mode it has different broadcast channels like tnt and espn with the commentators in those channels with dynamic commentary like it is in real life that would be cool
@iSilverSingH oh right on can you edit player stats too?
wow ign actually did a great review of a great game, who saw that coming?
I have been an NBA Live player since 03, when i saw NBA Elite, i felt ashame. NBA 2K11 demo was so awesome that i'm willing to change from Live to the 2K series. I'm Giving Live 1 more chance but 2K is just killing it. Peace from a player from Sweden.
Does anyone know how you can watch the beginning again when MJ is like "Are you ready?" and it feels so real like you going into the stadium? Id appreciate it.
how do you do a fake pass and up and unders on the wii
How come, in EVERY 2k11 video, the graphics look so pixelated?
@temesgen54 really?where did u got him?is he a downloadable character?
Why did this reviewer said that the My Player mode takes too long to go to the NBA? I got in with the Milwaukee Bucks at age 19. I dont see anything wrong with that.

@Livinglifehigh No, it does not update roster changes without an online account. And I think you should get it. Its worth the buy.
How can tell me the name of song in 0:31 please
We're here to save the day
@ThePsychoticPanda this game is so addictive. honestly, using the sliders and upping the difficulty you will learn the finesse of the game. when i started playing I had no idea how it worked, playing on rookie with all the sliders on my side and now i am loving it, with the difficulty on all star and the sliders stacked against me and its the most fun i can imagine

@ThePsychoticPanda you should try it and if you enjoy it you might get more into basketball. good luck dude and i hope u end up liking the game itself :)

when in offense, do you always need to be holding the ball or can u have ur teammate do it and u go for a pass (SINGLE PLAYER)????
@tloreve Is it only for the PC?
The reason they didnt give this a 10/10 is because of the passing woes because a PF will deflect your pass 8 times if your a pg in my player mode even if you have a 99
Is there any way to get an update roster? It always says that there are non when I look on Xbox Live, only the old ones from 2K.
This game still looks fresh ten years later
@kay9ine1 I play on Superstar and yeah it's ridiculous. I know intense d doesn't affect shots but I still expect my other player to have some sort of A.I. and put a hand up hit they just watch it sail over their heads. Sad thing is when I try it, they are guaranteed to turnover the ball.
@JBchillin123
Yes, the court colours are way too shiny...
Do you need Xbox Live to show the Highlights in Player of the Game?
Should I get it over 2K13? I've never played an NBA game before and I don't know what to go for? :/
