That "clunkiness" you speak of is just the momentum system they've incorporated since 2k11. The movement is the best it's ever been but I do agree it needs to be a bit easier to change direction and such. It's getting there though. The passing and other catch/gather animations I also agree are too slow from time to time. Just another thing 2k can improve on from here on out.

Eh, it's always going to be a matter of opinion...

I would prefer this over he 'roach' movement where no momentum is taken into account..

It's all about what your willing to put up with as a gamer...some say they are fine with rocket dunks and poor animation transition for the sake of what feels like better movement, and that's fine...

Everyone wants what experience feels best for them...

What bugs did you see?

But that's what happens when you want it to look as close to the real product as possible w/o still looking like a game. Live on the other hand always has felt like you were in more control, but the trade off is the jerkiness and the lack of smoothness to everything because they want to give you control. It's crazy, but I don't see this changing that much really anytime soon because the majority of people who want to play what they see on tv outnumbers the people who want to play a videogame.

It's not even the animations, but the tuning and speed of those animations along with just poorly tuned player physics and a clunky momentum system. Couple that with the poor passing system and congested court spacing, the game is going to lack fluidity and freedom. The dribbling system is a good start, albeit one that was taken from other games, but being tuned around the current physics system give it a sense of unresponsiveness as well, especially when going from an iso move to trying to beat your man off the dribble. Most of the times resulting in that awkward step/gather motion before gaining any real speed or burst and once you reach a full speed, it is incredibly difficult to make any quick lateral moves. Again everything feels very methodical.

Live's problem is the exact opposite. They have had the issue of animation speeds varying from movement to movement. Players exploding to the rim from a dead stop, or dribbling animations all of a sudden being drastically slower because of ratings.

From a aesthetic standpoint, 2k's animations have always been on point. Their motion capture game is serious. It's about tuning those animations to make them more functional in game situations. You can have the most beautiful passing animations in the world, but if the ball is taking 3 seconds to get there and another 2 to catch and gather, then what is the point?

On the new topic tho, that Real Voices looks legit. If they in addition say they have in-game wired audio, then kudos to them for that level of detail.

And Thibs looks like a cancer patient lolol

Side note: Are we ever going to see skin tight jerseys?

0:51 - did I just see good spacing in a 2k game?

Foot planting definitely noticeable. Jump shots look nice but still look like they got that automatic feel to them.

Thibs didn't look good at all.

But minus that, the real voices looks awesome.

Only problem…. D Rose looks way too skinny still. He has a good bit of muscle definition IRL.
