The next move was to create a system that would allow us to adjust the focus (what the camera is looking at) and focal length (think zoom) dynamically.
Comparing 2K11 to 2K10 in motion side by side, you notice that in 2K11 we frame the action a certain way or we zoom in or out depending on what is going on in the game. In 2K10, the camera didn’t really encompass this feature with the exception of Key Zoom. For example, when a jumper goes up in NBA 2K11, the focus & focal length adjust to follow the flight of the ball while maintaining the proper framing that is needed to prepare for a potential rebound if the shot happens to miss. This is one of those nuanced features, that, had I not told you just now, you probably wouldn’t have noticed. This is a good thing because the new system is at work in the gameplay videos that have been released and no one has had an issue which can only mean good things!
It’s not just about following the flight of the ball on jumpers – The-in game action dictates the camera adjustment. The idea is to make it feel like the camera operator is making adjustments on-the-fly to frame the action as it happens. The ball is always live (always has been actually) and the camera system is now smart enough to account for this.
Halftime
You can see the first look at the Halftime Show in the gameplay video released today: Watch it here. This does not have Around the League (explained in next paragraph) as this is saved for the NBA Today 2.0 / Audio Insight coming soon.
Halftime presentation has added some extra depth. In the past, halftime had one segment which broke down your current game with stats and highlights. That stays the same. New to 2K11 is the second segment: ‘Around the League’. This segment updates you on current scores and schedules and also includes leagues standings data. This way you are never far from the latest news and notes around the NBA while you are plowing through your My Player season. You’ll see Damon Bruce break down all the action. Again, this will also be addressed further in the Audio Insight by my man Joel Simmons.
Playoff Specific Presentation
We wanted to differentiate Playoff & Finals games from Quick Game and regular play in The Association. We’re hoping that seeing the changes in presentation going from an 82 game season in The Association to the Playoffs is welcomed by the hardcore and casual fan alike. The atmosphere during the Playoffs just feels different. I am sure Erick will speak to this more.
But one thing I can tell you: Just like TNT or ESPN, when the playoffs start, the production gets an upgrade. So goes with 2K11. Increased game intensity means more camera cuts, more camera angles and a pumped up crowd that will amp up the game environment. Combine that with more post game celebration, that includes confetti and more dynamic player reactions, and you get a post-season that really feels like an NBA post-season. Maybe even a certain surprise upon winning the NBA Championship?
Pressbook
The Pressbook is back and has seen a few upgrades from last year.
Upload 1 Photo At A Time - For anyone who plays 10 – 12 minute quarters, *raises his hand* and falls asleep while uploading the entire 200+ photo slideshow, you will now be able to upload specific photos to your 2KShare.
Better Photo Variation
Did you tire of seeing 13 different photos of Kobe Bryant taking a jump shot? Me too! Fixed!
Wish we went a little closer on some of the photos? Me too! Fixed!
The closer shots are REALLY cool when intense guys like KG are screaming or showing some sort of emotion. What’s even COOLER is when a photo like this is accompanied by that player’s actual signature (poster style) – which brings me to …
Players Signatures - The NBA has the player’s signatures on file digitally, so we were like, “Hey, can we use those?” and they were like, “Sure.” Get ready to see signatures on photos of signature moves (not just jumpers), high level dunks and all contact dunks.
