UPDATE 9/25

Went back for day 2, and got what everybody wanted, FULL RATINGS! Among other vids.

- Association Mode Is EXACTLY THE SAME
- Still didn't add goggles or a mask as Accessories. REALLY ANNOYING if someone starts wearing goggles throughout the year.
- Street Mode has returned, but players DO NOT wear street clothes, they wear their jerseys
- 3 on 3 is HALF COURT, at what looks to be an NYC rooftop. More than likely means the 3 on 3 online will be as well
- Shoe Creator is very detailed
- Check Out The New Vids For More
- As always, ask questions

I will get straight to the points:

- Only new Legend team is 00-01' 76ers
- Alexy Shved is not on the T'Wolves
- They still haven't fixed something minor that's bugged me for years. If you get an And 1, the PA announcer just says Foul..... Not the name of the player who scored, then addressed the foul
- On ball steals are FINALLY here
- There is a new HUD in the top left that will show you the Skills of the player you are currently controlling.
- Still a TON of players with generic Shoes
- No Home/Away separate accessories
- A lot of faces have been neglected, but a lot of changes as well
- Alley oop is now pulled off with a combination of shoot and pass at the same time (this is self alley off glass as well)
- Gameplay feels EXTREMELY crisp and tight. Very similar to 2K11
- Love the new stick dribbling (you can choose to go back to old controls as well)
- A lot of work has been done with the defense
- Holding turbo on a fastbreak all alone with Iverson resulted in a VERY unrealistic Gorilla 2 hand slam. Will not hold turbo for realism
- Shoot button now has a multitude of advanced animations, very nice on the dribble and cutting to the basket
- Still 'Leap Frog' steal animation from behind
- Substitution method is back to normal
- The 'choose the inbounder' is still broken, still chooses the SF no matter what (Needs to be fixed)
- Menu looks very cool
- Legit halftime show, and nice pre-game intro
- Player gear is still VERY neglected. Lebron wearing LeBron 8's!! and no high socks!!
- As an online only player, the player gear must be paid attention to this year, it is extremely frustrating when the face of the league isn't correct.

- Feel free to ask any questions, I took a look at a lot of faces and remember most.

There's some additional information in that thread if you look through the Q&A that's been going on. I'm too busy to go through it again and do the quoting, but if anyone's up to it, we'll add the information to the first post.

[Andrew]

The alley oop off the glass looked pretty cool. Sounds like 2001 Iverson doesn't have an appropriate dunk package.

[Leftos]

Bigball12 is back with a lot of videos and some more information. Updated first post.

[JaoSming]

in the YouTube comments, he confirmed that all the 2k11 options for Blacktop are back. 1v1-5v5, 21.

and a rooftop court. AHAHHSHADAASad gas vjsdaklcndklsakdljfl;

man, having different unis lets me do soooo much for Blacktop Revitalization this year
and the court? cloth in the background? rooftop? uialnkdmac

[Rugshtyne]

Valančiūnas - 58 ovrl ??? (5th pick in 2011)
Motiejūnas - 57 ovrl ??? (averaged 16pts 7 rebs in summer league)

Kidding me?

[Leftos]

NixazMixaz, Drummond also is a 59 overall. Don't know much about Valanciunas and Motiejunas, but I'm guessing that raw talent that 2K hasn't seen yet especially in the PF/C positions won't get much love. It all depends on how the overall is calculated. Drummond has the Eraser sig skill though, so it's nice to know 2K paid attention to his blocking ability, no matter his low overall.

Again, let's see how they play on the floor before getting too disappointed. They could also have huge potentials which would lead them to develop nicely in Association and MyPlayer.

HOLY SHOES!!!!

[JaoSming]

uhoh, missing legends.....

From the ratings video it looks like no Dr. J, no Kareem, and no C-Webb. I'd say no van exel either unless he's rated lower than fisher.

[Leftos]

Many teams lack their 2nd round choices, including the Pistons' English and Middleton. Maybe I don't give a rat's ass about Middleton yet, but English has already proven that he has a spot in the roster. Also missing is their international signing Slava Kravtsov.

We'll need to get those roster editors going really quickly.

I hope these guys are already in the game. If they do generic faces, that's bs.

That's a shame with those missing legends. I would have no desire to play with that kings team with out c webb, or sixers without dr. j, etc.

[diamenz]

you mean to tell me all bestbuys have the full game demos up?

BRB.

if it does I should head over, there's one like 10 minutes away from my house. I might drive over there after class tomorrow and check it out.

[IronMike]

Seems like all the videos were taken down..

[ThaLiveKing]

All the videos were taken down LOL

That's a shame, but kind of the way it goes with legends year to year. At least they managed to get Pip in the game to complete the 1992 Dream Team.

[Nick]

Association mode is exactly the same? hopefully he is just referring to the cosmetics/interface, and there is actually some real improvements "under the hood".

[homicide1550]

Oh man, was excited to take a peek at the shoe creator but seems like all the vids have been taken down. Damn you 2K!

[funwor1d]

video already gone ... damn ....

[bendemisi]

Do you have the videos stored?
You can upload them somewhere so we can download and watch

[JaoSming]

i only downloaded the Blacktop one (of course), but if 2K is getting uppity about prerelease stuff then I ain't repostin it

For what it's worth, we're apparently getting some noteworthy info on Association and Online Association very soon:

Association people - haven't forgotten about you. Getting a few notable items for this mode + OA you might like

[JaoSming]

I hate how they group Association people with the OA people.....completely different IMO.

^ This.

(though it may change if only modes for PC are actually playable this year)

[happybird]

What?? No Doc, Jabbar or CWebb?... Why even put their teams in the game then?... Sixers and Kings without Doc and Webber? What's the point?....
