What is signature style, and how does it work in NBA 2K7?
#NBA SIZEUP MOVES UPGRADE#
Recently, we had a chance to chat with 2K Sports' Mike Wang about signature styles in 2K7, how the team went about creating them, and what effect these new animations will have on the virtual hardwood.įrom jump shots to dribble moves, player animations will receive a big upgrade in NBA 2K7. Last week, we posted an updated hands-on with the game in which we talked a bit about the signature styles in the game. With the release of NBA 2K7, the team at 2K Sports has taken advantage of that increased capacity by including a feature called signature styles. While basketball video game developers have included stylized moves in their games for a long while now-with tons of snazzy layups and devastating dunks-the increased processing power and memory capacity of next-generation consoles such as the Xbox 360 and the upcoming PlayStation 3 mean that player styles can get more individualized than ever before. There's simply no other professional American sport that relies so much on the individual player's abilities or celebrates each athlete's flashy independence. Of course, now that David Stern has initiated his dress code for players, you're far more likely to see something truly stylish on the court than off, but you get our point.
