Even though Kobe got the most looks the CPU Lakers' offense didn't look too realistic, most of the time I saw Kobe bringing the ball up court and setting up the offense instead of Nash and Dwight and Nash didn't touch the ball near enough. (BTW the first play of the game when Dwight went up for a mid-range shot didn't look right, I would expect Dwight to post up down low and go for a hook shot instead of a mid-range J)

I know i'm niptucking here but is it me or does Lebron's headband looks extra large and misplaced? I know in real life Lebron uses a thick headband but he sports it higher on his forehead to cover up his reclining hairline, in the video it looks like it's just placed normally and looks unrealistic.

Also they haven't addressed the overhead soccer/lob passes that no one uses in real life, if they can completely eliminate that animation it would ad so much realism.

What I did like was that CPU Kobe was taking alot of mid-range pull up jumpers and the walking up the ball with the arm movement animation was pretty realistic.

Hopefully this was on Rookie/Pro Casual and an earlier built and not the final product of the game!

wow lebron must have gotten 80+ midrange due to winning finals last season even though most of his jumpers are 3pointers and he doesnt shoot from mid much

I can sort of understand why the Lakers offense looks disjointed with the AI running it. You're bringing in two more superstar level players into the starting 5 and I doubt 2k knows exactly what they'll be running next year. Modified Princeton Offense can mean a lot of things.

I have a feeling if the user was LA you would have seen Miami doing more "Heat-like" things. I like how Chalmers adjusted to where the ball was and was consistently trying to find open spots on the perimeter to spot up. Unfortunately the user had tunnel vision with LeBron and Wade.

I just want people to remember what got 2k to switch to a animation heavy game and take away user control...a lot of it was because people were complaining about things not looking realistic enough and "skating" complaints. Ive waited like 4 or 5 years for them to come back around to where we could control almost every aspect of ball handling and defense and this is the first year where it looks like we have it back...I would really hate for the developers to start back tracking because of some of the complaints I'm reading (before even playing the game I might add).
I hope they DO know how much we appreciate giving us control back..even if it means some skating or things not looking as realistic as a long animation sequence would look. PLEASE 2K DO NOT GO BACKWARDS IN REGARDS TO CONTROL.

I wish I could call the whole staff to make sure it tattoos in their memory bank lol. The game looks amazing in comparison to previous 2k's in my opinion and I think people are not realizing because they are too engulfed with pinpointing all the negatives harshly. Just remember the complaints from previous versions and realize what we have now. Canimations...defense..contact animations..passing...off ball movement...double teaming..off ball defense were ALL problems with previous versions and all of that looks to be fixed...APPRECIATE IT...or else we might not have it next time. Sometimes feedback can be interpreted the wrong way and developers will change things thinking that will resolve the problem. Just be careful.
