JWill did you get to ask if real time injuries are back in-game?

I think one of the main things missing from 2k13 was the ability to block dunks and the ability to determine who you want to double team with. Everything else (for the most part) one could fix with sliders and a good roster set.

All I could get out of them is that they have been touched upon, but no more details than that... I suppose we may see an insight on that. ????

Every year they make an effort to bring the little nuances that make a huge difference in a basketball game. Now I just need to see the same evolution in the zone offense bc playing zone on 2k is waaaaaay more effective than paying zone IRL. C'mon 2k don't let me down. Oh and.... What up mr president dczar! It's that time of year bro! Ill be calling to the show soon! Ha

They can fix the zone defense problem with quicker passes and better perimeter spacing. In past versions of the game, defenders often moved almost as fast as the ball, which meant unrealistic closeouts on mid and corner three shots (zone killers in real life.)

From the videos I've seen, the passing looks more crisp. I haven't seen enough gameplay to know whether closeouts are still as ridiculously fast as they are in 2k13.

I don't know, some sort of Live Create a Legend mode with online connectivity that puts you in player lock in team-up games with other CAL players?

I hear ya, I do, I pressed the issue for a minute trying to get details, all they kept hinting at was, look around at the tech nowadays. Thats it.

There is a feature that is gonna be really cool, I dunno much about it, but it change the way we (as a community) view/access things. Hmmm... not sure if that sounds right, but I will leave it at that, as I dunno too much about it, just vague talk hinting around the feature. I am assuming that this is a separate feature than the teaser.

TBH, there was so much info between the 3 of us going that some of it, I cant quite recall and some I can recall but cant speak upon. As I eluded to earlier, I feel for Czar, words must be chosen wisely. Hopefully PAX will be able to qualm the masses. Supposedly some info will be dropped there, I dunno what though.

yeah i noticed that play was kinda off too, but real time i felt as if kawhi just kinda slide infront of him, i think its just that the animations at that time just didnt mesh smoothly. but as we get better hardware etc, they will perfect close to close body contacts

this move jason.

glitchiest move in 2k13, clears out the whole defense
