There's always one

I wonder if you'll finally be able to replicate MIA's trapping defense...especially now that passing lane play has been improved...

Man looks good, really hope the game is good.

A lot of those blocks from 15 looked bad

As someone who played live 14 entirely too much I can say this is a huge improvement. On ball d was hit or miss and if you didn't get a contCt layup animation than it was almost a guaranteed 2 point for the offense. Like the pick and roll hedge collision by jones. Kyries dribbling looked a lot smoother. Happy to see defensive adjustments back and that they focused on defense which lets me know they are trying to be a sim game.if they could just get the amount of depth in set play calling and something like 2k smart play they coul really match 2k in gameplay. Only thing I didn't like was the blok on Howard from Davis looked a little sus. All in all very happy with the improvements

Hard hedge is when you show and stay. You don't trap but you stay with the ball handler longer than normal to give the on ball defender extra time to recover. You would use this against a really good shooter that way no matter how well the screen is set there is someone there to get a hand in his face.

If you do this you have to make sure your help defense is adjusted because if they aren't the roll man will kill you.

Don't credit this as a big feature Live should try to emulate when there's already too many inconsistencies in 2K smart play to the point it doesn't even work once you pass half-court. This exact same issue was in 2K14 and didn't get fixed. The quick play button Live is implementing should be just fine.
