Anyone see that Ronnie and LD2k will play a full game of 2k15 this Tuesday ? We should get a good look at freelance then

HOF is still AI enhancement. and the user shooting difficulty is tough on that level. I focused most of my play time and effort on superstar sim.

In the future, would it be possible to have AI difficulty settings adjustable and separate from AI boost settings rather than lumping them all in one setting to rule them all? Would be lovely to have input shot timing difficulty separate too.

It'd be great to have difficulty set sub sliders or settings, and then allow those sub settings to be adjusted like many racing and simulation games do.

With the caveat that I have not yet played 2k15 and am basing my feedback on everything experienced prior I'm still going to try to give you the feedback I have so far:

Should his first decision be to get back where he should be or deal with the situation as it stands ?

I would feel it was good spacing if the player was a high IQ or very experienced player on the level of Tim Duncan or Tony Parker.

If on the other hand it was a rookie just learning to fit in Pop's offense, I'd feel like the idiot should be attempting to save his playing time by running the play the way it was supposed to be.

It might be "easier" but it goes against everything done in MyCareer to help the gamer learn and follow true NBA basketball principles. Everything this year is pointing to teaching - from the Coaching 101 feature to having Doc Rivers mentor you. Defaulting on the 3-2 freelance seems to go against everything put into making MyCareer more true to the NBA experience and instead reinforces the "hero ball" tendencies toned down this year.

I think you may be expecting a little too much here. I see those guys as more of the casual style players. JMO.

Idk what you mean but it's the first official full length gameplay that's my point . The fact that we see extended gameplay from 2k nothing extra. I'm not expecting them to show videos or play like the Czar.

If we don't see any improvements to freelance in a full game there's a problem . Even by casuals

I'd base no decision off of what they do anymore than bootleg videos we saw, which you didn't notice it there either but you know its there after listening to a game play guy.

So don't expect to see Any spacing improvements or any freelance actions by the off ball A.I if the game is played by casuals ? That's what you guys are telling me? That those improvements are only limited to sim style ?

I feel like if that area is improved , which I know it is don't get me wrong , we should see a change whether you , me , Ronnie , or anybody plays the game especially if it's a full game vs a 4 minute bootleg video.

Not basing a decision already got it pre-ordered just want to see it in action more.

I thought the A.I. that Czar showed was tuned for Superstar-Sim settings? Wouldn't that mean it wouldn't really show itself in those demos which are on pro-default?
