NBA 2K11 will feature 50 achievements, only one of them concerns a feat with a specific player in a standard game. It just so happens to involve the cover athlete for rival NBA Elite 11.
"G Performance," a cheevo that's an apparent nod to in-game sponsor Gatorade, gives you 20 Gamerscore if you score 48 points with Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant. Why that guy? He's the cover rep for NBA Elite 11. Why that figure? Because his real-life career high is 47.
In a rivalry that's walked - and sometimes stumbled - on the line between digging at the other guy and not acknowledging him, I tip my cap to 2K Sports. This is their baby; they're very confident in it (ESPN's already calling it the SGOTY not even a week into the demo) and it is still fargin war between them and EA Sports.
Here's the full achievement set, courtesy of Operation Sports. There are 24 20-point achievements, 13 15-point achievements, six 25-point achievements, three each for 30 and 10 points, and a 50-point achievement, for a total of 995 Gamerscore. The PS3 trophy breakdown is not yet known.
