Video: NBA 2K11 Official Trailer

by Lang Whitaker | @langwhitaker

After the post I did the other day about the chance I had to play 2K11, 2K Sports sent out a link to the official trailer for the game. Yesterday we started watching the trailer here in the office and enjoyed it so much, we figured it was worth a spot in SLAM TV. Enjoy…

    You just keep torturing us huh??? It sucks we gotta wait six more freaking weeks.

  • Eboy Posted: Aug.19 at 3:47 pm
    Fu*king Awesome.

  • oinestep Posted: Aug.19 at 3:48 pm
    This Trailer hypes me up to get this over Live….despite their name and control change……Live or Elite just let me down past couple of years

  • M Cho Posted: Aug.19 at 3:54 pm
    I was hyped before this, but the new trailer is nice. Nice Snoop track too but honestly, the best theme track for the 2k series was 2k2 with Jermaine Dupree and that dude who sounded like Jay-Z – I think his name was R.O.C. ?

  • Allenp Posted: Aug.19 at 3:59 pm
    I’m saddened that AI won’t be in this game, which means he didn’t make the trailer.

  • Jerz Posted: Aug.19 at 4:00 pm
    2K Pennies was the best theme track….come on dude. and yeah, it was last year (so what?), but the soundtrack is always diverse. Which song did u find yourself singing to last year…..or how bout whistling? LOL S/o to the Cool Kids….

  • Spaceship Jay Posted: Aug.19 at 4:09 pm
    @M Cho; Hahaha I remember that! Yeah that dude sounded JUST LIKE JayZ. Meh.

  • JTaylor21 Posted: Aug.19 at 4:10 pm
    Kap is right. They got keep on teasing us with all these previews. The only games are I need are 2k11 and COD Black Ops and I’m set for another 12 months.

  • Enigmatic Posted: Aug.19 at 4:17 pm
    Cosign Jerz. I wasn’t blown away by the Cool Kids lyrical abilities, but that song was catchy as hell. And I already put in to have October 6th off at work cause I KNOW I’ma be up all night on the 5th playing this 2K11!

  • M Cho Posted: Aug.19 at 4:20 pm
    ^^^ you mean you’ll be up all night downloading patches to the game. LOL. 2k10 was buggy as hell when it came out.

  • BK Chris Posted: Aug.19 at 4:33 pm
    The John Wall dance is Just Icing on the cake! Looks like 2k is trying to shut down live for good!

  • jumpman3224 Posted: Aug.19 at 4:41 pm
    This looks amazing. Jordan, Nique, Kemp. That is a video game dream come true.

  • JD Posted: Aug.19 at 5:11 pm
    I love the whole retro thing they got going on with all the old players cant wait for the game!

  • teebee!! Posted: Aug.19 at 5:12 pm
    screw jordan!!! im only getting this so i can be the sonics and have some payton to kemp lob sessions on them heads!!! oooh…i hope they throw in the vintage sonics jerseys!!! im from seattle so imagine how hyped i’d be to play a sonics game in seattle…even if we dont have a team…smh.

  • robz Posted: Aug.19 at 5:18 pm
    YEAYA LOVE IT !

  • c_cantrell Posted: Aug.19 at 5:26 pm
    iv grown to like the 2k series much more than the live or elite series.. the stats in the live system are so screwed up.. the scoring for all the players is either way to high or way to low and the rest of the stats are ridiculously low and completely unrealistic.. tho on the 2k series the rebounding mumbers are always super high.. but the stats on the 2k series (through simulation of course) is always better than that of the live series.. live really disappoints me.. cant wait for 2k11 to get out tho i will never buy live again idc how good the graphics are

  • kevin armenta Posted: Aug.19 at 5:29 pm
    Patrick Ewing!?! WHAT!!!

  • Wendallt Posted: Aug.19 at 5:55 pm
    EA needs to just stop trying after this one…. 2K Shuttin things down!!

  • underdog Posted: Aug.19 at 6:23 pm
    The Reignman!! Gotta cop this.

  • Lenny Posted: Aug.19 at 6:47 pm
    That little tatted up ball hogging thug Iverson is finally not in this game, about time. Love how the league destroyed him, he deserved everything he got.

  • L Posted: Aug.19 at 6:50 pm
    Patrick Ewing. . . The Sonics. . . G.O.A.T. . . and the old arenas they used to play in. I want this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • nastierthanu4 Posted: Aug.19 at 7:06 pm
    No wonder kids don’t go outside anymore

  • Blackphantom Posted: Aug.19 at 7:07 pm
    This will be the greatest basketball game of all time, no doubt, all the freakin’ legends just win me over in this one. From Nique to Ewing to Kemp to Worthy to the greatest of all-time. This’ll be beast

  • ab_40 Posted: Aug.19 at 7:08 pm
    yeah those features were already on nba live 2000? so I don’t get teh whole basketball revolution thing. I don’t play video games because they’re a waiste of time

  • Blackphantom Posted: Aug.19 at 7:15 pm
    @ab_40 yeah sure some of them were but still, NBA Live 2000 had bad graphics like almost every game back then, and they didn’t have classic NBA teams(i.e. 94-95 Bulls)

  • Drew Posted: Aug.19 at 7:47 pm
    I can’t wait to play as the Sonics. Oh and don’t get me started on Jordan Vs. Bryant.

  • Jay Posted: Aug.19 at 7:49 pm
    @Lenny: Straight up ur a hater……. is AI really not in the game?? That sucks, I think they should put the 2001 Sixers squad in this too.

  • wcballer Posted: Aug.19 at 7:51 pm
    Yeah AI should be in this since he was such a big part of 2K…. hes probably still a free agent in there so I guess you can sign him to a team or something.

  • Smoove Posted: Aug.19 at 8:03 pm
    Wow

  • Joel O's Posted: Aug.19 at 9:09 pm
    Watching this gave me a basketball geekgasm. Oh my gosh.

  • Dacre Posted: Aug.19 at 9:13 pm
    Impressed…. I could already pick out some AI glitches though…did you see how close the defense was standing at the 31-32 sec marks? In every other video game that perimeter passing is getting picked off…. Nashs assists are going to look HECTIC this year (oh and does this realism mean John Stockton will only dribble right handed??)
    …trust my boy Robin Lopez to get rejected in a highlight trailer… : )

  • Scottie Pimpin Posted: Aug.19 at 10:18 pm
    looks like it might be better than 2k9. whoa!

  • Kid Canada Posted: Aug.19 at 10:29 pm
    Why do I have to wait!

  • KB Posted: Aug.19 at 11:15 pm
    i hope they keep addin classic teams after this year.
    i got request for the 01 sixers, 04 pistons, and 99 spurs

  • Jacob (from Australia) Posted: Aug.19 at 11:43 pm
    Took me about 8 seconds to realise I had watched LeBron do something, damn Heat jersey.
    Screw MJ, I just wanna beast with Shawn Kemp!
    Also, the blocks look sick.

  • J Posted: Aug.20 at 12:02 am
    sswwweeet!

  • J Posted: Aug.20 at 12:07 am
    I just hope the players and jerseys are updated.. especially those cavs jerseys, those unis are very nice.

  • Jukai Posted: Aug.20 at 12:18 am
    Still upset my 92 Suns aren’t in the game, but outside of that, I MUST COP THIS. I was upset with the lack of moves in the last 2K game, so now I’m super hyped about this.

  • Chou Posted: Aug.20 at 12:59 am
    Beno crossing Terry Porter at 1:07! Haha! Almost everyone’s wearing default kicks? Oh well, it’s just a trailer. Geekgasmic.

  • Darksaber Posted: Aug.20 at 1:32 am
    Oh Boy. My loyalty to NBA Live has now developed a crack in it’s armor. This looks sensational.

  • Hursty Posted: Aug.20 at 1:41 am
    Love that they’ve already got the John Wall ‘fist pump’ in there haha.
    Wade’s 2 handed jam looks sooo realistic.
    Kemp should just be able to dunk on anyone whenever he wants.

  • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Aug.20 at 2:00 am
    I can’t wait to play as the ’90s Knicks and completely destroy Jordan and the Bulls.

  • justine bacnis Posted: Aug.20 at 5:21 am
    EA should just stop….

  • larrylegend Posted: Aug.20 at 7:09 am
    nique is in the trailer, in the backround u see the hawks bench…so maybe classic hawks team in the game and some other non-mj related teams….i keep dreaming…

  • anf Posted: Aug.20 at 9:19 am
    My oh my goosebumps all the way

  • Matt Lawyue Posted: Aug.20 at 11:21 am
    I love how every blocked shot gets thrown half-way down the court…

  • J Posted: Aug.20 at 11:24 am
    Don’t even think for one minute that im not going to play MJ and the Bulls and destroy everyone.. and i mean everyone!

  • Nova Posted: Aug.20 at 11:33 am
    “2K11 Best game ever made” And John Wall looked madd high

  • Krishan Posted: Aug.20 at 11:59 am
    God I hate that john wall dance so much

  • chingy Posted: Aug.20 at 1:37 pm
    Young Shaq better be in this (along with Penny). Shaq’s Magic vs current Magic!

  • Yesse Posted: Aug.20 at 2:40 pm
    Cold chills. At the middle of the video i was like “if i only got to see MJ’s signature dunk” and then it came too. Snoop Dogg in the soundtrack. Graphics look like 2K10, but better FPS apparently.

  • kg Posted: Aug.21 at 11:08 am
    i watched this 8 diffrent times on 8 diffrent websites lol i just pray a few pair of foamsposites and penny hardaway are in the game but this is only a “work-in-progress” video

  • Ike Diamonds Posted: Aug.21 at 4:11 pm
    Payton to Kemp all day!

  • [...] into the Hall, and, most significantly from a pop-culture perspective, been put on the cover of NBA 2K11, an insane honor for a guy who hasn’t played in more than five years. With the recent [...]

  • ALL TIME GREAT Posted: Oct.5 at 12:06 pm
    not crazy about the music….something more old-school would have bee nice…something from the late 80s/early 90s in celebration of MJ
