Seems to me that players are a bit slimmer than 2K10, maybe less muscular. But maybe I'm just imagining...?

Is it me, or Chris Bosh's photo (00:06) looks like it's his virtual version? Seems like a 2K11 Bosh rather than the real Bosh. Is this guy for real?

Why are the letters on the player names so close together on the back of the jerseys?.... Is that something new that the NBA introduced for the upcoming season?

I was thinking the same thing.

I wonder if there is lead passing or passing where in the past you could use the left stick to guide a person to where they want them to be. Im seeing a lot of bad passes where the guy whos supposed to be catching the pass not even doing anything.. It's hard to judge that without playing and seeing the details of it in action but I thought it was interesting. maybe the in game awareness is saying "im being guarded by 2 guys and im in a crowd. I will not even attempt to catch that terrible pass you are trying to feed me". In which case I love it... I think one example of this is a inbounds pass at 4:30 by the CPU. Wade is doubled and not moving.. The other guy at the top of the arch is too far away. CPU TO.

I really like how the CPU plays defense! No more cheese passes inside!! WOOHOO!!! I can't wait to play sim bball!

Yep the lead pass feature is still the game.. the passing controls are going to be something similar to this according to a IGN preview:



Actually the pass deflections actually remind me a lot of Live 10, and in that game trying to spam passes in the paint was never a good idea. So the whole pass issue may finally be addressed this year..

Don't know if freestyle passing made the transition into this game but if it did I'm going to be even more excited that was one of my fave features in Live 10.
