I'll explain why. Some of us like presentation elements in our sports games. We like to see the highlights of our best plays etc.

Sad that both basketball games have been a total letdown in this department for 12 minute quarter players.

When I get home I will delete the patch and reinstall it and see if it comes back.

It worked for 12 min quarters pre patch, they're working on it right now.

What worked? The halftime show? I actually didnt even see it in the demo, but I'm assuming that first day patch affected the demo as well?? Lemme know, cuz I'm confused.

This is why we hammer you hard and do it so much we get the "zero tolerance" threads just before your game comes out. You're like the fat girl in a size 2 dress getting ready to go to the club. You look in the mirror and think you're hot. News flash, your opinion of your own game matters none. Its what WE, the people giving you 60.00 every year think about your game. So whats the deal with your halftime show gone after the update??????

It's a bug; I don't think they did it intentionally. In any case, I've only played one game post-patch (12-minute quarters), and the halftime and post game shows were both there for me. I'm on XB1, so I don't know if it's a PS4 only issue or just intermittent.

Go watch my archived 48 minute game cavs at knicks. All highlights worked prior to the in game update. It'll be fixed.

Highlights at the end of each quarter, half time and end of game.

I got in about 3 games with the demo last night, and for the most part enjoyed myself: Pros: -Player models look great, significantly more realistic than those in 2k -The weight and pace of the game feels good to me, it seems like gravity is more a factor and I wasn't seeing lots of sliding. -I love the dribbling in Live, and always have. It feels faster and more responsive, even though I'm not a fan of the Broadcast camera. It's great that they brought back the sizeup, and I liked the signature dribbles as well, although I only had a small sample size. Cons: -The collision animations are still clunky and stiff when driving the lane. Nowhere near the smooth feeling of 2k when you drive to the rim and take some contact. I was expecting good things since the collisions in FIFA are so good, but Live isn't there yet. I saw the same animations repeatedly, which gets old after a few games. -The passing is a bit stiff too, they need more animations, and although I found the contextual passing to be adequate, it would be nice to have more control over the types of passes made. -Sometimes I felt like my ball handler wasn't facing up with the basket while performing dribble moves, which looked and felt a bit awkward to me. -Too many shots going in, period. Kyrie Irving was 13-15 against me, and the bulk of those were fairly well contested shots. A few of them were WTF moments. -Pick and Rolls weren't too great, or maybe I just don't understand the system yet. Apparently the action of the screen setter is contextual, and I never really felt sure of what he was going to do until the icon would change suddenly. Jury's still out on this one. -I'm not sold on the player tendencies based on the demo. LeBron was unbelievably passive in all 3 games. Guarding him never felt difficult, or any different than guarding anyone else. Overall, I really had fun, but until I try the full version with the patch, I can't really commit to this game. I've heard people say the patch is a huge difference, but I'm skeptical about how much they could possibly clean up, in the animations department especially. Anyone have any links to some gameplay post-patch? Thanks guys

The pick and roll controls are based on how you use the pick. Obviously, you know that holding LT/L2 brings the screener over to set the screen, and he won't move until you let go. To have him slip, just let go of the trigger as soon as you want him to go. To have him roll, start to go around the pick, and let go as he is making contact with the defender. To have him pop, keep holding the trigger until after the defender is around the screen.
