I may not be as active in this thread as the last as I am still cooking in the kitchen trying to complete part 3. I will cover as much as I can though.

So in the pick and roll if you attack the big by running straight into him we penalize you by allow bumps etc. If on the other hand you try to go around him and avoid him. Which is the purpose of the hedge to force you away from the basket we are less prone to snatch you. His lateral quickness won't allow him to stay with you (From my experience) if your trying to beat him to a corner as opposed to running straight into him. If you notice that drive with Wade for the dunk I give him a move then I go around him and not try to run through him. We even worked on having the AI drive around vs right into you. It still needs more work but were trying to shift the game into using natural driving angles by not encouraging driving directly into a defenders space.

These things sound great.

Having the CPU AI drive around vs into you will eliminate that situation that I had where guys forced their way into the paint for an easy bucket by continually running directly into my chest, causing the defender to slide out of place into an animation.

Overall, really like what I'm hearing. Now hopefully I can grab a copy early and get started on the new season of NBA!

Love everything you covered. I know this is kind of off topic but i was hoping to get more info on the player celebrations. Can you celebrate anytime you want after a shot or is it every once in a while? And what button is it to activate it? Is there anyway we can edit the celebration a player does?

What I see is this taking basketball play calling to another level. Akin to the jump calling plays on live 10 started and eventually 2k11....

Great stuff as always, Czar.

Another look at a floppy play with Reddick and man, you can really tell you guys put in work there. The biggest thing I'm seeing is improved catch to shot transitions while one the move. They're blending much better this year.

You can see another example of this with TP @ 5min mark.

See Duncan get mad at the end and slam the ball down
