Can someone explain to me what the obsession is with Jumbotrons this year?

Come on Jay, it is a serious eye sore when hitting. You cannot try and brush off all the bad and only want to talk about the good things.

That backdrop looks horrible

What about the incredible horrible running animations. Are we suppose to not be obsessed about that either.

Its Detraction is disguise. Jumbotrons, framerates, jaggies.....its human nature.

We all hear it..... Wow that person is smart, funny and of course a real good individual, but....(enter in detraction here). The end result the injury of our neighbor.

No, the Jumbotron was not an eyesore last year. It was exactly the same and never came up. But for some reason it has become an important element to discuss this year.

Really guys, the Jumbotron....

What next the dirt....LOL

lol...maybe the mods should set things up here so that everyone has to filter their posts through Jayhawker for approval.

Jokes aside, everyone has there thing. I don't think anyone can answer why it's mentioned more now than last year without speculating (which serves no purpose). Some people are bothered by it. Some people aren't so much. I don't think it needs to be much more than that.

Personally, the base running animations drive me bonkers. They've been terrible for three years now.

Yeah, they're pretty rough. That and the odd hyperdrive sped up stuff that happens in random spots is annoying. It's certainly been a slow process with the animations. They've improved each year, but unfortunately, some of the same bad ones stick around and end up looking worse when surrounded by the updated ones. It's a mixed bag, I guess.

Still, after just playing the demo another couple times, watching this video, I'm happy with how much smoother 2K11 looks overall. Plus, the "emotion" animations add a lot to the game IMO.
