The other thing I don’t like is the (too high) shooting percentages, but I guess that is easy to correct if we up the difficulty and tweak the sliders accordingly… Things I will be checking in the demo (because I suspect we could find exploits there): - Run and Gun (It seems it will be again a cheaper way to find good looks and abuse stars without the need of playing good fundamental basketball). - Bounce Passes (Considering what I have seen so far, they seems to be too effective and difficult to counter, can they be defended properly?). - Up and Unders (last year this was way too effective either, and the worst thing, it could be performed efficiently by anyone whether they had post proficiency or not, in this video the defender beat to the fakes most of the time, but anyway, I didn’t see yet anything clearly suggesting they are more balanced now). Cheers! ;-)

Just remember that the defenders biting in the fakes were USER.

How would you counter a bounce pass. It seemed that bad ones were able to be knocked away.

Run and gun: speed matter. Plus, it was user vs user.

Pretty sure when LD2K said realism he wasn't talking about correct sock color, but the actual playing of the game. Your definition of realism is covering the whole thing. Its important to get those things right for authenticity's sake, but I'd play a basketball game with featureless dolls if it resembled the real thing in how the game was played.

One issue that I sort of have an issue with is the 4th quarter sig skill. It appeared to be a little too over powered, although its possible it was just human error in shot release. I understand that those guys will hit shots near the end of close game but it seemed like no one else could hit anything....maybe Im just crazy lol

As far as play calling..NBA live 10 had great play calling. Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S3

So you (or the other dude) think 2k was thinking Live when the mocapped these animations? Animations they've had for years?

And how dose one see play calling?

What ya mean dude? Face is one of the important feature of a person and every detail brings level of realism to the next level! FIFA has face scanning technology for this exact reason. You say socks and I say mole... You don't have to disrespect my wants just because someone here might laugh at your demands for accurate sock colour. Again I want accurate moles!!!

You still don't get the point? Why can't we have both? It's not that hard! I just have to watch one game in order to suck up all the details that would increase the level of authenticity. 2K could do this too, but why do they keep doing things wrong each and every year? They don't even integrate the respective patches of the year before in order to get accessories correct. What about the Bulls? Third year in a row they will launch a game with the Bulls having black socks/shoes at home even though they've always uploaded patches to fix the problem and get it right. I don't find that conclusive at all!

I thought you were trying to fool me. Still don't know if you're serious about that or not.

Come on man. Teams and players change things up every year. Something is going to be wrong somewhere for one reason or another. You have a point. No doubt. Just don't turn it into WW3.
