Which is all the more reason why it worries me about the lack of defense judging by what's presented in this physical demo, regardless of what's written in the developer's insights. If YOU prefer to look at the game with a blind eye through rose colored glasses, then so be it. This is MY opinion based off of what I’ve witness in the video clip - not off some off-branded insights that may or may not actually be concurrent with the final product. And being a fan of the series and seeing how the last two games have turned out, I have every right to that. Anyway, back OT - judging by Ronnie’s twitter post, unfortunately, this is not casual mode.

So if you think that they have said nothing about defense, then you must think that they havent said much about offense, foot-planting, dribbling, etc. The only thing they have been talking about is the Jordan Challange. They have mention the improvements to offense and defense in the same way.

Just because other websites who don't talk about defense as much as you'd like dosent mean you need to blame 2k for this.

The Gamescon demo is set as default gamesim. I have been trying to capture some footage for you all the past couple days at sim level.

That is the quote from Ronnie's twitter. Now he does not say if it's casual mode or not but by reading that statement it rules out it being SIMULATION mode either.

Im not being biased at all, They have talked about defense like I said. The trailer's are obviously showcasing offense right now, which IS THE SELLING POINT to their type of gamer. And at the same time MOMENTOUS did the trailer, and he knows how much us die hard fans care about Defense.

It's more like your looking at the game as if you have funded millions of dollars into 2ksports and deserve to have every improvement you want to see in VIDEO for yourself. Sorry buddy business does not work this way.

Yes sir. I've been to at least 5. I even saw MJ play against the Nets in his final season as a Bull. 97-98. Randy Brown had a monster tip-slam at the buzzer to win the game.

Unfortunately Scottie Pippen was injured. But I saw him play later as a member of the Rockets.

I actually still have pics of that game lying around. Maybe I should look at the court spacing/player size?

That may play different with a guy playing the game as it should but, the game don't force you that way, instead it leads you easy dunk fest. And still you see them working on the same engine to tweak what's already broken..

Got Troll ? it has already been said that the game is set on casual.

there...now lets see if people actually read this...

Per Ronnie's post, the demo was set to 'Default'. Per the past insight the GameStyles are:

Default: Kind of a hyper-realism. Shooting %’s will be slightly higher than real life, there will be fewer fouls, slightly more dunks, more and 1’s, etc. “Let ‘em play hoops” so to speak.

Casual: This is the setting you want if you like up and down play with lots of dunks and highlight moments. There won’t be a whole lot of stoppages and you’ll see higher scoring across the board. Arcade-style play is probably the best way to describe it.

Simulation: Real life stats. This is my game style of choice. With 12-min. quarters, you will easily see NBA averages across your stat lines. Don’t expect anything easy in the paint, you’ll have to work a lot harder and execute good basketball strategy to be successful in Sim.

Custom: If you manually modify sliders and settings on your own, the game slider will automatically change to Custom.
