But as cool as the 3D tech was, it obviously still needed some time back in the 2K Sports studio. At one point I even reached out my hands to catch it. As he made the pass, it quite literally looked like the ball was going to pop right off the screen. The developer dropped the camera down to floor level and looked right at the player inbounding the ball. It doesn't sound very exciting, until you see it in 3D. ![]() The coolest part of the 3D demo was when the 2K developer took the controller and hopped into an instant replay of an inbound pass. When the ball passed in front of a player's hand, it actually looked like it was a foot or so in front, just like it would in real life. The effect wasn't all that heavy-handed and provided a nice feeling of depth to what I was seeing. A few elements such as the menu overlays and player icons weren't yet in three dimensions, but everything else seemed to be popping off the screen just as it should. For that, we hopped into a quick game with the Lakers and Celtics. Next up was a demo of the 3D technology that will be releasing later this year. Here's hoping they can iron out some of the accuracy issues before the game ships in October. Things weren't aided by the fact that the game doesn't support the navigation controller (apparently Sony just never sent one to 2K) so you're stuck using the Dualshock to move your player around. Gestures weren't reading properly, timing seemed off and occasionally things felt too sensitive as a casual and slight movement with Move would be read as a gesture to start the dunk. In my short demo with Move, the technology felt very early. Lastly, you'll need to let go of the trigger to let go of the ball and slam it through the hoop. Next, perform a gesture with Move to start the dunk animation, then perform a second gesture to launch into the dunk itself. First, hold the T trigger to pick up the ball sitting on one of the racks situated on the court. Once I got the Move controller in my hand I was told there were three parts to dunking with the new peripheral. While it can be played on the Xbox 360 with the usual analog stick setup, it's obvious that the more immersive experience will be on PlayStation 3, even if it isn't the most accurate. Also included in Blacktop Mode is a dunk contest, a feature that seems to have been designed specifically for use with PlayStation Move. Blacktop Mode sets out to be the arcade mode for those looking for something a bit more relaxed than the usual simulation gameplay. There's one-on-one, two-on-two, three-on-three, one-on-one-on-one in a game of 21 and a few others. We kicked things off with NBA 2K11's Blacktop Mode where players can take part in several different game variants. ![]()
