I wonder about 2. It would seem that any manual movement cuts in a consistent direction should tip the defense.

Can you manually trigger a protect the ball animation when driving to the hoop ex marbury against players/cpu that love to strip the ball.

Can you Alley Oop spin out of post position animation like Blake griffin does.

Do AI big man that are known to push the ball during a break like draymond green push the ball.

I'm not sure if this problem was being caused by the court being too small, the player models being too big, or the defender's off-ball movement speed being too fast. But the result was that the best spots to make a post entry pass in 2K16 Pro Am/MyPark/Team Up were from several feet behind the three point line at the top of the key, or from a few feet inside the half-court line on the wings, which is completely backward from you're taught to do as a guard in basketball. Will corner and wing shooters finally be able punish defenders who recklessly leave them open to go double team low block post ups in 2K17 Pro Am/MyPark/Team Up?

This is a big one. Curious about it as well.

Good to hear, I think it's time to start getting into some of the more intricate parts of the PNR, it's such an important part of the NBA. Snaking, splitting, shorting...I would love to see all of that implemented.

Have jump passes been tuned down? Seems like a lot of guys got away with passing out of a contested jumper in 2K16.

Can I turn on real player % for online play shooting and not use the shot meter? (Almost sure the answers no but just checking) Did calling a play in timeouts make it in this cycle? Any chance Game Reel returns? That was an epic feature...can't believe its gone *cries*

Advanced Rotations are a MyLEAGUE only feature... and it's really cool btw.

Online we only allow you to use User Timing for shooting. Gotta keep everyone on the same playing field.

Playcalling in timeouts did not make it in. Sorry.

Nor did Game Reel. That's a presentation team feature though. I don't have much influence there.

np man, again.....thanks for taking the time to answer our questions.

This is seriously pretty amazing tech that I didn't expect for quite some time. I know everyone at #SIGNATION would greatly appreciate this being openly available

Originally, it was intended to be used everywhere, but some of the MyCAREER guys really wanted it to be a reward in MyCAREER. Probably next year we'll open it up for all players.
