Will IND play man to man and filter you into Hibbert? That's a game changer and something I was going to put in the wish list thread tomorrow... I hope it means more than each teams settings being different...

Where have you seen the force direction or off ball screens at?

Best Blog so far. Love the defensive options. I am wondering if the ball can be stolen at any time? If the defender sticks his hand for the steal and the ball hits his hand will the ball go loose or will the ball just go through the hand; will the steal success be determined be a rating? Also it's nice to see some motion but can players pull off these dribble moves in motion? Can I get Kyrie on a fast break to do a in-and-out to a crossover? Anyways nice video, loved the dribbling by Jennings, Williams, and Rose.

I feel like EA is just repacking 10 and tryna pull the wool with this Bounce Tek jazz. Looks EXACTLY like Live 10 with how the players dribble and move. REALLY bothers me. I do like the defensive options such as being able to force to baseline whetehr as a team or individually...but still can't get over the Live 10 similarities.

If it was totally different it wouldn't be live.. That individual defensive adjustment that you like so much was in live 10 and now improved.

you know why it looks like live 10? because sig dribbles were in live 10. the difference now is that you actually have control over them. in live 10 you just held the rt/r2 and they would do their sig dribble automatically until you stopped holding it or started moving. here you actually have to make them do their sig moves and you can branch out differently, according to the video.

seriously some people are hating just to hate without researching. video looked great, especially the transitions between dribbling and shooting. still need to see it in 5-on-5 action though.

defense sounds amazing as well, if it works as advertised. teams actually playing like themselves, and being able to adjust your own strategies against individual players or schemes. hopefully it works the way they say.

someone else said it before i got a chance to but im also wondering how dribble moves will work while youre running, specifically on a fast break. also curious about different shot types, since shooting is using the face buttons. seems like there may be a limitation to the amount of shot types that way.

Like I said, we've seen the tools to make defensive adjustments before....yes, there are a few more here, but it's something we've seen...

Thankfully OG answered my questions, which is good to hear...

You seem to have a lot of questions for me, feel free to send me a PM if you have any more...

I don't know. I just can't get into live. The graphics suck. It doesn't seem any different than iso motion to me. I know that Live had the original dribble stick, but it all seems the same to me. The whole signature moves and stuff just seems the same. 2k just seems to have basketball locked now.

First positive thing i've seen. I love it when games have depth and strategy!
