The Greatest NBA 2K Game of All Time

NBA 2K11 is the NFL 2K5 of basketball video games. Nothing else comes close. I could see an argument for NBA 2K12-16, but 2K11 was the game that ended NBA Live and took 2K to the next level. The first 2K to have historic teams, and before VC. Goat status

[@Rob-fi2pe]

I played the hell out of this game for years. My dad is a HUGE Jordan fan and not a fan of video games. For the past few years, he’s played this game endlessly until the 360 gave out on him. I made him a 99 OVR and he’d tell me how mad MJ would get when my dad’s player dunked on him or his teammates. This game is huge for me for that reason but it absolutely catapulted the 2k basketball game. Great video man. I love your work!

[@Flyingsandwiches-nr1zc]

[@AfricanBeard]

This was my first NBA 2k game when it first released. I skipped my final class of the day during high school at the time to get it at gamestop. I was always a pc gamer so when I tried my hand at Mycarrer I absolutely sucked. I actually got sent down to the D league after getting drafted in the second round by the Kings. True story this was the last 2k to my knowledge that had the feature of sending your created my player down to the D league if you weren't ready. After about 10 games I got signed by the Toronto Raptors. At that point I had gotten used to the game. I played the whole season and carried my team to the semi finals and lost. Sure I could of cheesed the CPU and forced a win by decreasing the difficulty to rookie mode but it felt great trying to overcome the HOF adversity. Fast forward to season 2.. I won MVP and carried the Raptors to their first ring. Felt amazing and I was hooked. I made 4 new friends at school and they made me their PG for their online crew mode team. We won many games and had a fantastic record. So much fun had and when I think back I smirk. Those 4 friends are still till this day very close and we game almost every day. 3 even attended my wedding. I still play 2k but it's not the same. RIP 2k11.

2k11 and 2k16 are in the Hall of Fame in 2k history. 2k16 will always be my favorite due to it being free on PSN, the soundtrack, the awesome parks, and the way it felt. If you had a crew, you could easily spend hours playing and not feel bad because the game was just that much fun.

[@TheGrizNation]

I don't think people realize how important this game was for not only basketball but sports in general. 2K10 was a fun game but the hype and excitement of being able to play with MJ in a game is what drew everyone in and the modes and features in the game is what made everyone stay.

Best MyPlayer ever. It was legitimately difficult to ball out in the rookie combine and do well as a low overall rookie and it was really satisfying to upgrade your player and watch him get better. So much replayability with different playstyles and different scenarios that would happen like crazy trades. I remember being an all star point guard on the Suns and Lebron actually joined me in free agency.

Today everyone averages 100ppg and doesn't feel like we accomplish anything cause were only doing it to get badges so we can actually feel dominate and play the park. Also today mode so easy score and good teammates feel like they got the 2k11 Patrick Beverly curse

[@kadencemay4969]

I remember being so young and playing on my xbox 360 when my parents brought this game home. I had no interest in basketball and was surprised that they would even bring a basketball game home as they had never bought games as a surprise for me. I loaded up the game for the first time and remember just how much I loved it. It started my love for basketball and this game means so much to me.

[@FirstnameLastname-qb2bg]

I loved 2k11 because that’s the last year I remember rubber banding not being in the game. If somebody outplayed you by 30 points you got beat by 30 points. Now if you outplay a guy by 30 points you win by like 17 points maybe less than that.

I remember my brother and I playing NBA live all the way into 2010! But I had a couple buddy’s that had swore by 2k since 2k8. The first time I remember playing a 2k game was 2k10 on my buddy’s Xbox360 I was a huge Kobe fan so you know I had to check the post game and fadeaways out and I gotta tell you it was a night and day difference from live . That’s when I realized something felt different but I was stuck on which brand was more noticeable and who had most of the rights to the NBA. (EA). When 2k11 came out I remember me and my brother being in Sams with my mom luckily my brother and I had 30 dollars a piece for some reason that day we put our money together and brought it for the PS3. We got home popped it in and was blown away. My brother picked the Knicks and I had the Lakers and played at MSG. I looked at my brother and said we are never getting a Live game ever again.

So how bout no VC like back in the day. You can pay for clothes or tats n all that. But let me earn my skill points with gym workouts like the old 2K, that’s the real way. That’s DOING WORK like Kobe. Thank you I’m done

This was the first 2k game I ever bought I fell in the love with it

[@thumbwrestler7614]

Didn’t realize how dope that game was until now. Trying to replicate Jordan’s accompliments was a nice touch

[@2414kels]

I remember picking it up day one. Stayed up all day playing. The gameplay was great and the Jordan Challenges brought back memories of my Bulls. And seeing some retro teams was even better. They did a great job with 2K11.

[@pipjersey8303]

this is before the company started just caring about how to sell people on microtransactions

[@dudeidk4890]

Only thing I disagree with was when you said MyPlayer wasn’t a tedious grind, I understand 2K involves micro-transactions now but in 2K11 you literally started off as a 40 overall, earned very little skill points to upgrade with, and there were way more attribute categories that you had to upgrade. That grind probably takes 10x longer than the grind to 99 now. 2K MyPlayer mode has always been about the grind and putting time into the game.

[@mind_of_dro]

But at least it isn't THAT hard right, I mean, I can still get buckets with a 66 overall SG on Superstar difficulty.

[@dudeidk4890]

Drogan | I’m just saying it took 10 times longer to get your overall rating up.

[@joshuabalondo4454]

Yes,it was existed on my PSP that MyPlayer had good microtransactions that you have rewards like 30 assists,100 points,even steals in one game. NBA 2K11 credits used to attribute my player and even unlocks. Also you can practice to reward with credits.

[@dudeidk4890]

Joshua Balondo | The skill points you earned were at a low rate and the overall you started at was in the 40s making the grind much longer.

[@clubsteve4636]

this was 2k at it's best.....before the corruption of vc. remember picking this up on midnight release (it was the last one worth doing that) and playing it that morning. the intro was simply amazing. still remember it to this day. playing as jordan was a dream, but the features, historic teams and gameplay were icing on the cake. it's sad, but it will probably never happen again.

[@MikeDaProblem]

This was def my fav 2k these were the days I use to camp outside of gamestop for midnight release this game definitely lived up to the hype.

[@rose4mvp2012]

I wish I could see how many hours I put in on this game because I know I basically skipped 2K12 and didn't really care about 2K13 so I was on this game kinda heavy no lie. I played a couple MyPlayer games and a few online head to head matches during Lockdown in 2020 and the game still felt exactly the same as it did to me when I was 14 staying up to 4 in the morning on a school night playing crew with the homies lmao

[@Zach-lv5qs]

Easily, the GOAT 2k. I've actually only bought 16,17, & 19 since because I felt all the others have been a massive downgrade.

[@muscles662988]

I can't stand your videos because it reminds me how good we had back during the "Golden Era" of sports video games 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@thehawk5141]

Yes indeed. I played this game for 3 years straight. Also, I like that you could modify the real players just like the created players. 2K18 isn’t bad either.

[@theamazinbob1]

I lived 30 min from Chicago during the 90’s as a teen. This game was a love letter to us especially in Chicago. I remember when this came out, no game has grabbed me like this did. My favorite game of all time.

[@GoCards1983]

great video man!!!!

[@LunaticFringeReviews]

When 2K cared more about game quality instead of microtransactions and park

[@malayus7155]

true

[@reidpribble3878]

Best soundtrack of all time, crown of thorns is my mf jam

[@rickybobbysdriver555]

I grew up playing video games. Especially basketball games. From Double Dribble to Bulls vs Lakers. I thought Nba live 95 was the end all be all, and like Jordan, I took a break from video games. But when I got 2k11, I nearly lost my mind. The commentary in the game was responsive to what was happening in the game. Throw an alley-oop and they would lose their minds. The cool half time recap to the player of the game high light reel. This game is probably why I'll always try to have an Xbox 360 on hand. Classic.

[@MrMekmek29]

I think its the first 2k to have official Michael Jordan on it which led me to buy it full price back when it went out. I was so excited to actually control MJ on a full hd graphics console. ANd the rendering of his player was actually good.

[@RealCGH]

Now these days 2k is as bad as EA and it false advertises it game, Ronnie 2k is the most hated Gaming industry related celebrity, never listens to the community, and has a extremely toxic community.

8:28 Had that happen to me one time with the original Red Dead Redemption game. My grandpa was walking by where I was playing and stopped and watched for literally about 10mins and then asked if I was watching a movie. He was shocked they let people cuss in video games so much lol This was almost 10 years ago now as well xD
