Does anyone think the Chase Down Artist skill will have any real impact vs. a user on/offline? One of, if not the most important element of a chasedown block IRL is a lack of awareness on the offensive player's part. They don't notice the defender coming & either finish too soft or "take their foot off the gas" too soon. It's very rare that an NBA player with a 10-15 foot head start & in a flat-out sprint will be caught by anyone. But, unless/until there is a playable 1st person or extremely close 3rd person follow cam in a basketball videogame, you'll always be aware of the defender and never likely make the offensive mistakes that facilitate these blocks IRL.

Given that it is extremely difficult to organically duplicate the proper circumstances of a chasedown in a videogame, defenders have to be superpowered (or your human opponent very accommodating) to allow a block of this nature.

So, would you rather have
realistic physics but unrealistic awareness (likely never get a chasedown block/be chased down vs. a human, because the offensive player is all-seeing/knowing)

Or
realistic results (chasing player recieves unnatural speed burst in order to counter the unnatural awareness that comes from seeing the entire court at all times)

NBA 2k has handled it the 2nd way up 'til now, and it could get (better/worse depending on your point of view) with the relevant sig skill. However, we've heard rumors and seen footage that imply speed differences are more pronounced in 2k13, so is there more or less chance of realistic chasedown blocks?

In the interest of the most "Sim" experience possible, is a dynamic 1st person camera the future of next-gen 2k basketball?

I wish i could say superior basketball IG wins but thats not the case online at all smh especially with game being broken the way it is. Ive been playing 2k for a long time and I used to love versus, I used to dominate but 2k12 just makes me smh. I cant wait for this game and I hope IQ pays off and I hope they bring back the lobbies so I can play HOF online again cause half of these dudes can only play on superstar

Bad shot selection? That would require that the game takes over your controller amd forces you to put up a bad shot do you really want that?
