Very good points from both sides.

I don't think nobody it's saying physics need to 100% we're asking for steady improvements to footplanting , ball physics , animations w/ less control.

At some point you have to ask does 2k start improving these areas to make the game feel as next gen as it looks ?

I'm not but so far I haven't seen it at Least in terms of control

We saw a game last year that suffered from a lack of sufficient animations and it wasn't pretty. We've also seen this in past 2k games. For me personally, I could have the most crisp controls ever created...if contact can't be generated a reliable rate because of the lack of sufficient animations...THATS not basketball either. People like to throw "physics" out there as the end all solution to all of this...but those physics would be plugged into animations as well. Animations are necessary. There just needs to be a balance.

I don't think anybody is saying it's all physics and there's no need for balance. It's just that the balance is off for a lot of us and it should be geared more towards physics than it currently is.

The A.I.'s logic should be much more simple in nature. Currently it appears to calculate inefficient variables (location, ratings, defensive position, play-calling, etc.) in an inefficient equation.

Yeah. Because NONE of that matters in decision making... It's a naive and ignorant premise to be honest. The post sounds insightful, but when a variable becomes "inefficient", I have to question the expertise of the author. No offense.

I don't think you're giving the improvements over the last few years their due man. But that's understandable. It's hard to notice a person is losing weight if you see them everyday and it's 2 pounds a month. Next thing you know, they've lost 40 pounds in almost 2 years. I think that's the case here. Go play 2K10 and compare it to 2K14. You'll see what I mean.

Well, I implore that you attempt to read the rest of my post? Those factors naturally play themselves out in ways I've suggested.

Well, I'll go back to it. Thanks for the civil response, man! Many people have a hard time with my candor sometimes.
