Thank God...finally some more 2k news......i was gettin tired of all those debates over the other games videos...

As many have said sounding better and better...I'm really looking forward to this game and really looking forward to Otc 5.

what I liked most was that the implication of the new play calling system allowed them to see defensive flaws and allowed them to fix those.

who's dat guy wearing D.Williams jersey? is dat suppose 2 be D.Granger playing for the pacers?

I really only use one play when I do decide to run a play...pick and roll. I'll give it try because it sounds like a winner. I would love to see a video of Rip and Ray Allen coming off those double screens for J's. I would also like to see the pick and roll feel better, last year and even now, I just dont get how I'm suppose to run it effectively if the 2nd man always comes up to double but my guy isn't rolling fast enough if he does at all. I love the pick and roll so I really hope it's given better implementation this year. I will definitely hit the practice gym like it's training camp tryn to get a hang and feel for the plays. And the play names are a very nice bonus.

Haha. Funny but those player models really are...sub-par to say the least.
Good insight though.

Not really. Nelson is far too reliant on individual brilliance in his offenses. Remember his Golden State teams when he had Richmond, Mullin, and Hardaway playing 3 on 3 basketball while his bigs stood around and watched?

Nelson's two man plays are highly overrated. Some soft screens/rolls and brush/fades are usually what he bases an offense around. Tough playoff teams have little trouble destroying these soft schemes.
