I want to purchase NBA 2K11, but I was wondering if it used Steamworks. My download speed is capped at 60KB/s, so I was thinking of having it overnighted from Amazon if it was a Steamworks game; ie I don't have to track my CD's.


If someone has purchased it from Steam, what is the size of the download? If it's 5GB or so I don't mind waiting a couple days to get it. I'm still mustering up the courage to download that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed game I purchased midsummer. It is 25GB and a stretch for my patience.

Thx!
 
Awesome game! Just wanted to say that, got it for the PS3 lol. It is at least 6gb size wise, but don't take my word for it!

6270MB on steam for me.
 
I'm a broken record here with this but let me exclaim with joyful surprise yet again: I thought sports games were dead on the PC!
 
They're not dead....they're just sleeping for a long time.

In all seriousness, i have bought 2k10 and it was a mess (at least the online play was). Supposingly the 2011 title is better. I also bought Fifa 11 and enjoy that one. Played the demo for PES 2011 but it couldn't convince me in favor of Fifa soccer. Now all we need is a NHL 11 game and i would be all set for sports this year.

On a side note, i am finally able to use a controller that i like with my PC. Logitech released the "F" series of controllers that are recognized as xbox controllers but sport the layout of PS3 controllers, which i much prefer over the xbox controller. Yay.

NBA2k10 on PS3 was great, on PC.... not so much. Had way too many issues with no dribbling sounds, crashes, etc. Besides, some online features are MIA in PC version. It is good though, they actually charge you less for it anyways, so no biggie. I buy all of my games on PC, besides sport games. I just like them more on the console.

Also, NBA 2k11 is said to be the best sports game ever, at IGN at least :).
 
Does online play work? I don't think they ever fixed it in 2k10. I'd buy 2k11 in a heartbeat if the online system is fully functional.
 
For the people who downloaded this game via Steam, where is the game folder?
It's not in the "My Documents" folder.

Also, How do you fix the Eyefinity issue of the image being zoomed in on the players?

Steam games are always always always ALWAYS downloaded to:

%SteamDirectory%/steamapps/common/ - for non-valve games
%SteamDirectory%/steamapps/your@email.forsteam/ - for valve games


Curious as to why you'd think it would be in "My Documents" ?
 
As a non-sports gamer, I got this and LOVE it. I suck, but this is fun. Great game.

All the saves and settings are located in the user/appdata/roaming/2Ksports folder. As far as field of view, there isn't anything we can do yet. You'll have to either wait for 2K to add that option or for someone to write a third-party app that can force it(there are none yet to my knowledge).

When EA dropped Madden for PC I havent played a game of Madden since.
 
Football freaks hosts a mod for 08 to update it to 2011 schedule/rosters/etc.

Gameplay is still 08 not much they can do about that.
 
game is the best basketball game on PC yet, it plays just like as on a console. if not better because you can jack up the grafix

play with a 360 controller, trust me on this one. ...do not try to use the keyboard

All of my other games has a sub folders in My Documents that I bought from Steam except this one.

NBA 2K11 for Eyefinity needs to be in Portrait Mode for it to be compatible.
I have it running in Portrait Mode and it looks great.

Or a shitty Logitech Dual Action. I need to get a better controller.

Oh, you're looking for save data.
 
I can't tell the difference, I'm new to modifying game files but I solved the issue.
Thanks for the way to find the directory in the future.

I've lived in Miami all my life and been a Heat fan since early 90s, so no "Awww you playing with The Heat talk." lol
Went to the preseaon game and it was great. Good times.

Yep, Portrait Mode. I waited for the game about two months. I can finally put BFBC2 to rest as my most played game until Vietnam.
 
Passing is not that great, seem like you need a clear path or they will deflect the ball.
Every team plays tough defense and the teams who are great play suffocating defense i.e. Celtics.

Went into 3OTs with the Celtics until I was able to shutting them down and win by 10.

Having fun so far.

I adjusted the steal slider for the CPU a little. Was getting a little ridiculous with all of the steals they managed to get. By teh way, you can change teh preset for the sliders from default to simulation, I think it works way better on simulation.
 
I'm still working on learning the game. I haven't played a basketball game in quite a few years. I think I've learned many ways to lose that I never thought were possible. I'm working on the first Jordan achievement; 63 points (easy) 50% shooting (easy) and 6 assists (fail!). I can get 60 or so by the end of the 3rd quarter. Then as soon as the 4th starts Boston goes to full court press and I haven't figured out what to do yet.

I'm going to have to learn how to throw lobs and stuff I guess. Last game I scored 5 points in the 4th to give you an idea of my ineptness. But it was still fun trying!

I'll try simulation. It makes no sense when every player is deflecting the ball and getting blocks. Missing layups is another story.

I just passed it for the second time, I didn't have a user profile for my 360 controller the first time, weird!

I try to get 25+pts in the 1st quarter, 15 in the 2nd quarter and then 10-15 in the third quarter. That only leaves about 8-13pis in the 4th quarter but I always seem to score about 72pts total. The assist are hard since all the players on the team suck. I expected better out of Paxton, Oakley and Gervin. If you don't have 5 assist by the 3rd quarter there's a good chance you will fail.

It's better to get photos from the Pressbook at the end of the game, trying to line up the camera in Replay is a headache.
