I went into practice mode before reading this and kept doing it without any remote idea what I was pressing.

But with that said, I'm noticing that Kyrie feels a LOT different from other point guards. His Shammgods look true to life because of his footwork while handling the ball.

And being a strong dribbler myself, I'm using a lot of my own principles in the game now and I've cut down on a lot of loose ball occurrences.

Haha.

In due time, Brother Mack...in due time.

Game looks 10xbetter than any stream we saw. Huge jump over current gen. Players have weight! I had Birdman and couldn't keep up with Tony Parker at all. Animations look good too. Definitely not a port gameplay wise.

It feels like a new game graphics wise but plays very similar to CG with some noticeable gameplay improvements.

Pros:
-AI is more alert on the defensive end. Westbrook was hounding Curry as soon as he crossed half court. And it's also harder to make the cross court pass for quick threes.
-Minor animations refinements are small but noticeable. Dribbling, stumbles, hussle plays, and in-between plays are nicely improved.
-Lighting on court and players is unreal. (Remove the icons and you can probably fool a passer by that you are watching a real game.)
-I tried Remote Play and stayed on it for 3hrs. I noticed slight lag at times but in general it serves it's purpose. (Also, controls are a little tricky since the turbo (R2) and (L2) is in the touch pad.)
-most animations are buttery smooth! Love the steady 60FPS.

Cons:
-Color palette used on some of the courts is off a little. The yellow are a tad too on the orange side and the reds are too much on the pink side.
-Passing animations at times look dated. They can still be refined to be a bit more fluid.
-Halftime interviews are kept to 2-3 sentences. (Would have liked to see a little longer.)
-No warm up unis.

No buyers remorse at all! Will be playing nightly following the NBA Today.

My install has been at 46% for about 10 minutes and the disc is being very loud in my system. I have read it takes awhile, but should I be worried?

Grab a controller and head on over.

I should probably add some impressions.

I wasn't too impressed with the direction they took the current gen version of 2k14. The game felt a bit unfinished to me, as if they couldn't get the features they wanted to in in their entirety. Don't get me wrong - great game but not what I expected.

This is a monster so far. Completely worth the price of admission to next-gen. Hype is all I can provide at the moment. Once the luster wears off I can provide more.

Mines is stuck at 56% I am very pissed at this. Only thing I can play is quick game.
