If you're like me, you're always looking for ways to increase your vertical and dunk like the pros. Well, NBA 2K11 on the Xbox 360 won't necessarily help you with that, but it will give you the ultimate basketball experience. With Michael Jordan front and center, this game is a slam dunk.
One of the most exciting features is the Jordan Challenge mode. Relive ten legendary games from MJ's career and replicate his moves on the court. Successfully complete all ten games, and you'll unlock the MJ: Creating a Legend mode. This special mode lets you take control of a newly drafted rookie Michael Jordan and craft your own version of his career in the NBA.
Another cool feature is the My Jordans mode. While playing through the game, you'll be awarded different pairs of Air Jordans for hitting game milestones and accomplishments. Collect the entire line of shoes that MJ wore throughout his career and gain specific attribute bonuses when you have them equipped.
The IsoMotion dribbling controls are also a huge improvement from the previous games. You'll have more realistic feeling and reacting dribbling movements with seamless transitions between ankle-breaking moves. The all-new gesturing system also allows users to intuitively translate thought to motion and dominate like Michael Jordan from the perimeter to the paint.
Pros:
- Jordan Challenge mode lets you relive legendary MJ games
- My Jordans mode lets you collect different Air Jordans and gain attribute bonuses
- IsoMotion dribbling controls are more realistic and intuitive
Cons:
- No significant improvements to My Player or Association modes
- No PlayStation Move support for Xbox 360 users
Overall, NBA 2K11 on the Xbox 360 is the ultimate basketball experience. With its improved dribbling controls and the addition of Michael Jordan, this game is a must-have for any basketball fan. While it doesn't offer significant improvements to My Player or Association modes, the Jordan Challenge mode and My Jordans mode make up for it. I give NBA 2K11 an 8.5 out of 10.
