so all 30 teams, coach has its own authentic play and style... what about the classic teams and foreign teams? it feels like robot?

The defense and post play finally getting an overhaul is big. Now we can see a difference in each player, hopefully for the better. Great vid!

Looks great! Two things though:


I noticed a LOT of times players away from the ball would just be standing upright with their arms hanging, not really something you see in basketball too often especially with players cutting and running all around them

There was a shot of AD taking a turnaround jumper, and Jordan was in the paint but he wasn't even looking at the play. Usually when you see a guy in a position to take a shot post players begin to start fighting for position under the basket in anticipation for a rebound


Other than some really nitpicky stuff it looks pretty awesome, I am glad 2K decided to give us some more info

Gameplay blog was great!! Will we see better awareness of mis-matches from AI players?

like what i'm seeing so far. really hope we see the return of ball denial (and offensive counters for it) hope we see some big defensive improvements too.

Holy crap, this might be a leap in gameplay for real this time. It looks nice, it sounds nice, let's see how it's playing it.

Agreed. Nice to see new footage and information, but it kind of felt like a lot of the generic lines I feel like I hear each year -- "New post game finally gives you control", "Foot planting", "Smart A.I. that adjusts".

That's not to say there won't be great and cool strides to be made, for instance, the foot movement really did look neat, but much of what they said felt vaguely familiar. Hopefully another in-depth blog is forthcoming. This video was certainly better than nothing, though.(EDIT: Heyyy, ask and ye shall receive, just saw there's an actual blog as well. Neato!)

Separately, I know the footage shown is from various builds (I think Stephen Curry had the Yu-Gi-Oh haircut at the start of the video then much more accurate hair at the end), and I know lighting is always being re-worked and whatnot, but I was still mildly entertained at O.J. Mayo looking like a 44-year-old Charles Oakley from the back.

video almost made me say screw and place preorder...but reality kicked in and remember all the other hype videos from the past and things that were said and promised. Def gonna hold my ground until I see a long 5 on 5 gameplay.
