Oh no I totally understand what happened and I still don't fully get how the NFL thought it would be a smart thing to do...but that's another discussion.

I'm just saying I don't play Madden anymore because it's too much of the same to me and it's just not fun..2K took Live out because they couldn't keep up and they still found ways to progress without competition.

Now this year with Live (seemingly) making jabs at 2K, they've really done a lot between this and 15. Is it because of the "competition" or just because they've got all these new guys for a full cycle of development and a timing coincidence?

Either way 2K always puts out a great game but this year it's just on another level...that's why I like competition. Imagine if EA felt the pressure from anyone else for football games.

For one those REAL defensive schemes that you have video to show side by side!!

The fact that the AI adjusts to what you're trying to do, and the gameplan will be different each time, even from moment to moment during a game.

I think the biggest thing we loved about Inside Drive beyond the sim aspect was the fact that the AI was NOT predictable, and they not only made adjustments in game but took advantage of your mistakes with good basketball.


Its just that the AI was too good and never messed up really but the challenge was a pleasure.

I can't say enough how HUGE this stuff is. This is literally taking things to another level. In the past VIP was the closest 2k had to something similar to this but it didn't even work the way it was intended.

This is just next level stuff here IMO. I'd also say being able to change things via roster updates... thats the kind of stuff that is the future!

Yea definitely how the AI will be reacting and adjusting play by play, game by game, etc.

I felt like too many times I could see a double coming in 15 after scoring a lot, and know how to trigger a certain animation and get a free look at the basket anyway...basically turning the double team into an advantage for me.

So knowing now that there will be switches and more aggressive d once I start catching fire, I can apply better knowledge of the game instead of knowledge of the (video)game.

I mean not to say everything else wasn't insane. Especially all the pick and roll control, not only from the offensive standpoint but also defensively. I'm gonna go crazy looking for free time to try and perfect playing 16 like I've tried in all the other games.

I'm so excited for this, I might be doing less simming during my Myleague/GM games. I wonder if all this translates well into MyPlayer.

Literally everything. If I had to summarize everything in three words:

Adjustments, Behavior, Intelligence.

And if in two words:

Adaptive Intelligence.

I wonder how this will effect the game. Very few of you can play effective on ball defense. 90 percent of you play off ball defense. So cup D will now help you more than ever. I like having that advantage on my opponent. I hope it mAkes the 10 presenters more formidable.
