Has nothing to do with gameplay really but its time to get the sega genesis sounds away from all of this NEW innovation.

If everything matches what is explained in this blog you have basketball gaming on another level than we've known before

Absolutely. Off chance, in your guys opinion do you think there's a chance this is old build stuff and they're going to show us new sounds in presentation blog?

Long shot I know, but curious what you guys think.

Back on topic, those Knicks Triangle vids are NICE. Beautiful action/movement to get a dunk and a nice straight away 3 for Afflalo. The shooting action looked much quicker there also.

But the movement in general just looked tighter and more fluid. Some of Mike Wang's words in effect. But it really is a subtle addition to edging the look more towards real life and further from that video game look.

....Just gotta get the sounds caught up..... haha.

But wow. Czar's blog was a lock to be great.

Sound wise no. I think they do need to seriously consider it for 17 though. It's beyond behind of what the rest of the game has been doing far and away.

Looks like Czar cleaned up the Triangle he started last year and the spacing it creates is much more prevalent and noticeable immediately.

The triangle had some dope plays off of bounce passes, so I want to see some of those.. Pass cut back then forward, catch the backwards bounce pass for a layup or dunk... saw the Bulls run that so many times man wooo

I really hope triangle offense are good!!
In the video of the triangle there is the same triangle that i could make in nba 2k15 or 2k13 (mamba iso), the only one which is new is the second action of the first video with a 3 point shot. And normally it is not finished by a 3 pt shot but a mid range jump shot and there is not the first block but just the second.
This triangle was in 2k12 for a big man it was lal tri base i think so it was the real triangle. But jordan could have this open jumpshot in reality, not in 2k12 it was just for center or PF.

Czar, I have a question about the Clippers pick and roll when you get some time

CP3, Blake pick n roll, and as Blake rolls and recieves the pass Jordan cuts baseline for the lob from Blake instead of CP.

It basically neutralized the help D coming over to stop Blake on the roll

Basically is the CP3 pass to blake pass to Jordan for the dunk in the game?

Similar to this set up below. I don't know the name of the play but I've seen them do it alot. Blake messed this one up a bit but anyway

For 86 bulls i'm not really happy to see this team first of all and second the triangle are not like the 96 triangle.

That skip pass from Afflalo to Melo was EXCELLENT. The zip on it was just right and the passes around the perimeter had nice speed to them. I'm personally hoping for some new around the horn passing animations though to give it a more authentic feel since most players don't throw 2 hand chest passes in that close of an area.

Also, the Prineceton sets(particularly the Chin vid) looked freaking awesome. That Kobe fake to get open was nice to see too. Looks like Alec Burks skipped a scan again unfortunately though.

Edit: Hey 23, they really need to lower their rim to about 8'0" and get some dunkers to create some sig dunks for DeAndre. Dude dunks like he's on a nerf hoop and it's so unique to him as a 7 footer, I'd love to have that.

Seriously, I can't remember when I've been this excited for a video game.
