Gamespot Hands On!!

[doobie]

This year, team tendencies play a big role as well. The 2K development team is quick to admit that teams in 2K6 tended to play like one another except in the more extreme cases (Phoenix's style, for example, certainly wouldn't have been confused for the Pistons in last year's game). Thanks to a robust team tendency system, teams are rated on a number of attributes, such as perimeter, low post, foul tendencies, willingness to pound the ball inside, and so on. Even better, all of these tendencies are controlled by sliders which you can adjust at any time. So if you want your Pistons to play more like the run-and-gun Suns, you can make a few slider adjustments and let them go to it--just don't expect your players to be very good at it. Think of team tendencies as how the head coach influences the team--even if your team is full of three-point shooters, your coach can dial down the three-point shot for a game or two and have them try to work on different parts of their game.


Animations aside, 2K7 is still going to feel familiar to fans of the series when it comes to controls. The shot stick system has been adjusted to be relative to the rim this time around--the controls you use will be dependent on your position on the court--if you want to shoot a J from the floor, for example, you'll simply push the right stick away from the basket. On defense, the strip and rip system from NBA 2K6 has been tweaked as well. Instead of attempting steals to the left or right by pushing left or right on the stick, you'll shade your coverage left and right on the man you're defending. By pushing towards your opponent, you'll attempt a strip, and by pushing away from your assignment, your player will stick his hands up in the air. What should be interesting is the rock/paper/scissors battles that will emerge using this new defensive system when playing in the post, for example. If a player decides to spin right or left, and you are shading your coverage to the correct side, the result will be a neutral collision--if you guess wrong, your opponent is going to leave you standing still as he makes his way towards the basket.

For more on signature style animations in NBA 2K7, be sure and check out our interview with 2K Sports developers tomorrow.

Yep! Another info coming up tomorrow! Damn I love this time of the year!

By The Way, the mentioned that each player has not only his own shot, but his own dribbling style and defending style!

That would be interesting to see if they got Jackson Vroman signature style :eek: :D

2K7 is turning out great, now how about that current gen...

[Notion]

They banned me till the 21st.


You still didnt say what game school youre going to. Please tell me youre not going to FullSail. FullSail isnt that great of a school for game design at all. Youre better off going to DeVry.

[Xboxing2006]

Finally, while we don't know the full scoop on many of the game modes featured in NBA 2K7, game producers did drop a few hints about the online portion of the game, including more efficient ways to schedule games between players in a league, the ability to save your preferred game settings when playing online matches, team sliders for online play. The most exciting online feature, however, has to be the live online

Thank you thank you thank you thank you

About time

Now everyone wont be using the same plays.

[MaseMurder]

Please tell me youre not going to FullSail. FullSail isnt that great of a school for game design at all. Youre better off going to DeVry. Out of all the schools in the US, DigiPen is one the best. You have the best chance getting hired coming out of DigiPen then any other school. Capcom was here a few months ago, with guest speakers, and reviewed a lot of student animation and games.

Thats where I want to go to DigiPen I dont know yet also im about to practice here at home too with that XNA thing thats coming out soon.

I can tell you since Im the 1st BFA class here, DigiPen is a lot of work. If youre going for animation like I am, be prepared to draw atleast 2000 drawings a week. If your a programmer... good luck. I remember the 1st 2 weeks of freshamn year... atleast 75 dropouts.

If you didnt know I was being sarcastic.

[Conda]

Huh? Programmers don't do drawings; they write code. He must be talking about an artist/animator. I'm a programmer. Or I just might be insane.
