Wow great read and thanks 2k for all your trying to do to make a great game and make your fans happy. This is either going to be the best sports game around or *and I hope not* a great game with the most irritating bugs and glitches around till a patch comes out. Really hope it has gone through serious quality control to make any problems minimal. But either way its no doubt 2k has put in SERIOUS work and is trying to make not only the best Basketball game but best Sports Game ever.

Don't know if it's been addressed in the thread but I hope and wonder if there will by dynamic commentary this year. Meaning the commentators may say "Atlanta Hawks last year NBA Champions" in the season say of 2015. Also, say things like "last years rookie of the year, mvp", etc..

I noticed that in association mode, the intro commentator/announcer would still refer to as the Lakers as "Champions" when they did not when it the previous year. It's not that big of a deal, but it would be a nice category to the little things to make the game that much more realistic.

Why can't EA Sports do this with Madden?

These changes all sound great but they don't address the biggest issue with the association for me. The past two years have offered a terrible offline five on five experience out of the box. Insane pip tendencies and percentages, horrible teammate AI and gross shooting percentages were must the tip of the iceberg of what added up to a very inrealistic and arcadey experience in offline play. If these issues aren't fixed the only reason I'll play association OS to familiarize myself with my OS Vets Rockets team.

I hope these things are fixed, but as excited as I am for My Player, online league and the Jordan stuff, I have to mention that the offline game AI has been on a slolam since 2k8.
