We already know what this is. Blacktop with Stamina hacked into 5v5 by request of Team-Up guys to play like stripped down Crew-Blacktop-Lite.

FINALLY. I hope it's well implemented. I hope injuries are also tracked. I also hope it can be turned off because sometimes you want to create your own streaks or play as that player at his real performance mean.

Key Gameplay Features:- Pro Stick™ – Throw down show-stopping moves, pull off intricate shots, and toss flashy no-look passes with deadly accuracy with Pro Stick control. Easily the most intuitive basketball controls ever implemented.
- 2K Smart Play Button –Quickly call the most suitable play for the context of the game by simply holding a single button.

Pro Stick sounds good.
Smart Play sounds bad, because it means a useful button will be mapped to something else.
It could also lead to more plays being called in ranked online matches, so that could be good.

- Improved Player Motion System – With an all new motion system, player movement is much smoother on both ends of the floor, while also allowing for much more explosive cuts and tighter control.

"All new motion system" sounds good, but I didn't really like what I saw in the Crew Blacktop demo. Game looks gamey and slidey again, to give the arcade twitcher guys what they want. We need real footplanting or something close to it.
All new system is probably just reduced momentum animations, which isn't new at all. See 2K12, 2K9, etc.
Every other year 2K yo-yos on this. One year it features great momentum and improved footwork, the next features slidey, arcade gameplay.

General Gameplay Improvements:- Signature Skills – Six new Signature Skills, ensuring each NBA player’s unique abilities are represented in the most authentic way possible.

Offensive Control Improvements:- Shot System Upgrades – More realistic footwork on jump shots, improved awareness in shot selection, and a variety of new shot types. Whether you use the new intuitive Pro Stick™ or the enhanced Smart Shot Button, attacking the rim is now more exciting than ever.
- Dribbling Advancements - Upgraded dribble movement and new branching technology give you much greater 1-to-1 control over the ball handler.
- Enhanced Passing – More accurate pass targeting, new give and go mechanics, better handoffs, and an entire arsenal of new flashy passes.

All new player collisions, the ability to block dunks, and more appropriate shot contests make playing defense much more fun and rewarding.

- All New Ball Denial - No more getting stuck during off ball bumps and ball denial, allowing for complete freedom of control over your players away from the ball.

This is bad. Possibly very bad. Off-ball bumps and animations are what made 2K13 a HUGE step up visually from past games. If it were realistically toned done, great. But you *shouldn't* have complete freedom of control away from the ball. That's what the entirety off the off-ball game on both ends is meant to deny.

- Enhanced dribbler vs. on-ball defender contact - Defenders can now initiate steals, hard bumps, and charges out of defensive rides, making locking up players on defense a much more engaging experience.
- Expanded Defensive Commands – New commands using the right stick: including contesting shots, contesting passes, and denying or pressuring the ball.

For both platforms? My Team listed seperately as a cur-gen only mode gives me hope these modes are common to both.
