There's nothing arbitrary about it as far as I know - obviously not the case with basketball. Regardless, if you look at chess as being pretty much "perfect" as far as how the rules of the game are defined - it's not like you wouldn't get people trying to cheat to win at it over someone else.

2K should definitely try to curb whatever exploits are out there, for sure. But the game will never be perfect. Real life basketball isn't perfect. And even if they were, they would never be able to account for human nature. On some level people that play online need to understand there's only so much a game can do, unless you greatly limit/restrict what can be done when playing - imo

I can't wait for the competitive games... head to head and what hasn't been announced yet.

Yeah, I totally get 2K isn't perfect nor is real basketball. I mean James Harden. But there's been a gulf between 2K and basketball simulation that can be crossed with some effort is all I'm trying to say, and I think that effort and attention to issues to encourage that effort is well worth it.

I sound like a broken record, but I just get concerned when things are swept under the "can't be perfect" and human nature rug-- because game design is an enterprise entirely about addressing human nature.

Well the new mode must have something to do with online.

How a sports game plays when two people are playing head to head is the truest test of how well it has been designed and implemented.

No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy. In this case no sports game survives contact with the competitive online player.

Even those of us who don't play online often or at all, should, in a respectful manner of course, ask more of development teams in terms of ameliorating User malfeasance. Always keeping in mind the limitations imposed by time and technology though. If a game plays great with two Users going at it, then it will be spectacular in a User v CPU environment.

With the team now assembled at VC, I think OG's anti-Cheddar gifs are a harbinger of things to come for the cheeser crowd going forward.
