Do you have a schedule of when updates will come? How often at least

Best gameplay vids so far.

biggest pro
-The game had a natural feel to it
-Spacing looks better
-Animations didn't look too overpowering
-Players seem authentic and distinguishable based on movement

biggest con
-players still jog in the half court
-passes while it looked better still have a long way to go

Looks good so far, and I'm saying this as an Association/MyPlayer sim oriented player.

On a gameplay standpoint, it's definitely improved. I think paint defense actually exists based on this gameplay, which is something that lacked in 2k14.
I'm digging the new animations, especially the layups. They looked smooth and made sense 'situation-wise'. I didn't notice the 'little underhand layup' all too common in 2k14, which is amazing.
The rebounding was probably the lowest point of the vid, gameplay wise. Too much o.rebounding for my liking, though I wonder if more tip-ins are available this year.

All in all, it's a big step forward to realism on the basis of gameplay. Though it's only a snippet, it's definitely got me hyped


I like the hook shot animation, I just didn't like the transition to it, he did like a 180 spin before executing the animation.

Yea they said high volume shot takers will have a greater shot stamina than the medium-low volume shot takers. For example, if you take 20 shots with someone like iman shumpert he will get tired much more quickly than someone like Carmelo.

This basically negates users from being able to cheese with role players. So we should no longer see players like kyle korver go off for 40 points because they will not have the stamina to jack up a high volume of shots with great effectiveness

• I really, really like the improvements to help defense.
• It is very realistic. There was one possesion (7:47)where Tristian sort of doubled on the pick and roll ball handler, Marion rotated over to help the rolling big man then Miller rotated(help the helper) over to Marion's man which left Henry open for a three. It happens exactly like that in real life.
• I also noticed that some players are actually watching the ball ready to help and you can get two or more defenders to help out on a shot.
• Rim protector badge/skill is exactly what I wanted. It came up in a couple of wishlists and playing defense in the paint.

I'd also like to see it difficult to cheese even with stars. I hope you're forced to distribute the ball some at least.

It seems like a slightly simple workaround but it's not bad. I'd really like it to be based on real life factors-- take a bunch of shots without sharing the ball and teammates get cold and listless, especially if they're also scorers. Ball hog and teammate chemistry goes down. Take bad shots and teammate chemistry goes down just like in MyCareer. Take too many shots with one player and defenders anticipate them better and put up tighter defense and better contests.

But shot fatigue does accomplish much of that without complicating things, even though it's not quite as comprehensive a model of all the real life factors involved.

Hated how the white arm and legs sleeves with pads were actually white, but the white arm and leg sleeves without pads were darker, almost grayish.

Man those black Lakers jerseys look nice! My first time seeing them, however does anyone know what warm-ups are worn with those jerseys in real life? I noticed the bench players don't have any on. Maybe we can let a dev know and they might be able to squeeze it in for the game.
