The Latest Videos Featuring NBA 2K11
With the highly anticipated demo for NBA 2K11 just days away this has been a banner year for 2K Sports in respect to promotion of the game. It can't be said this year that they are holding back on showing it off as their confidence is notable. Over at Operation Sports they have been posting a daily video created by Da Czar focusing on particular teams in the game. They provide very extensive looks at the game in action, done primarily through breaking down plays in both practice mode and 5v5 g...

NBA 2K11 Demo Coming Next Week
The demo for NBA 2K11 will be available on Tuesday September 14th for both the Xbox 360 and PS3. It will feature a single quarter of the Celtics vs Lakers but there are no further details on the structure as of yet. Previously it has been insinuated that the demo would include something unique (maybe a Michael Jordan "moment") but in the announcement no mention was made of anything beyond the standard match-up. Traditionally 2K Sports has not released demos this early, but it goes in turn w...

NBA Jam HD Impressions and Videos
A month ago EA Sports announced that NBA Jam would be coming to the 360 and PS3. The catch though is that it would be only available to download through a code that is being included in new copies of NBA Elite 11. The arcade market has been dry ever since EA and Midway ended Street and Ballers respectively, and here EA is bringing back a classic in what is better described as a "refresh" than a "reboot". The first opportunity for the media and public to play NBA Jam HD came with it out on t...

Two More NBA Elite 11 Videos
EA Sports has now released two more NBA Elite 11 gameplay videos via Operation Sports and notably these show the game played from the broadcast camera. Typically prerelease videos of a game from the non-default perspective are not produced but the reaction to the behind-the-action camera has been overwhelmingly negative. It may be that in hindsight EA has realized changing the default camera was a mistake. Continue on to check out the videos which are Hornets @ Clippers and Heat @ Magic and le...
