If they would just make a game that plays like the real-life counterpart, nobody would even bother with sliders.

WORD!!!!

I agree with both fluent2332 and taiketsu to a certain extent...If theres a way to make the game better I wouldnt mind using sliders..(Playmakers did wonders for Live lol)..The thing wit me tho, I like seeing a big change each year that can really separate it from previous years..and I think that 2K has got to a point where the major changes wont really happen anymore because they have a very strong foundation to just add things to each year..It's not a bad thing at all, but its kinda hard to justify buying it each year...too bad I'ma impulse buyer lol

For all this signature style they don't really play like those players. I don't see any improvement in this area and I know there is no slider out there that will isolate Melo and watch him work, I mean really work to get his own shot. The CPU will likely pass to the cutter or back to the PG where it will set up a different play. I guess we will see but these videos show that it looks like the same basic gameplay from the last 4 years. Which is good and bad.....

i think the reason there are no isolations and one-on-one playes is because 2k's ball-handling system is terrible. they need to copy live's control scheme where the right stick controls dribbling moves. it's just too hard to control dribbling with the same stick that you use to move. you never end up doing the proper move.

the shot stick is totally unnecessary because you could pull off the same variety of shots with a shot button in combination with the left analog stick (to pull off fade-aways, sideways leaners, etc.). i think they really just need to go back to using the right analog for dribbling.

I dont think any of the NBA games will have the new court this season.
