I would like to know that controlling a bad on ball defender will feel completely different to a controlling a food on ball defender.

- Adaptive Coaching Engine! And the ability to change things after spotting trends.


It all looks awesome but those were the highlights for me.

One worry I have is the full court pressure of guys like Delly on Steph. It's a great idea and I can't wait to see it play out. But in 2k15 there was an issue that you couldn't select who would inbound the ball, you also couldn't control team mates (depending on the game mode) to have them stay back and help you out.

In the real world if I'm still in the backcourt and somebody is locking me up, a team mate would run back to give me a passing option so I don't have to lob it across the court and hope they catch it. Will the A.I recognise when a backcourt team mate is in trouble and come back to help them out?

And will we be able to select a different player to inbound the ball?

I don't know whether work out legendary teams' clothes problem. In 2k15 the clothes is frozen(OMG this is BUG?)

I mean if i had to pick one i would have to be honest and say i cant...honestly...these improvements collectively means so much to me that trying to pick one is very difficult
This Year's dev cycle is BULLYING



Those guys were on to something VC....they were on to something damn it....Like my grand dad used to say "Its not the horse that leaves the gate first always wins..."

As i read that blog over and over its like all am seeing is like OG keep swinging and swinging and swinging....i bet right now they were thinking they should have did a sign and trade instead of letting you go to the free agency....lol job well done guys what a great crew over at VC that keeps getting great additional talent......


WINNING IS NOT A SOMETIMES THING, ITS AN ALL THE TIME THING

My favorites are the following:

1. The Coach's defensive tendencies are anchored to themselves and will travel with the coach if (s)he goes to a new team.
2. The defensive use of ACE is more advanced than that of offense
3. The threat assessment is based on much more than just total point production.

Just as Da_Czar has taken offense under his wing, I felt for the first time someone on the 2K development team stepped up and has taken defense under their wing. I know there are a lot of people working on all aspects of both but in my mind's eye, you are the defense's champion and I've felt for years a need for someone to take this role.

Edit: guys, please put your GIFFS in spoiler tags. Thanks.

If I had to say one thing it is ACE. The fact that the coaches are adapting to what you are doing and it varies from regular season than post season that is crazy. Really it is the combination of ACE and team specific defense because I felt that was really missing from 2K15 on how you and the CPU defend the pick and roll compared to what teams actually do.

In that Clippers Vids from Scott where Deandre comes First and then Blake is coming for that Pick i dont like how they Roll Up to the Basket.

I know this is an Offensive theme but i saw that here in Scotts Blog.
Everytime when a Big Men comes to set a Screen they run headless to the Basket, like they are on a 100m Sprint.

For example my Opponent hedges high on screens like Miami Heat does in big3era You have in real life no Chance and Give the Ball away like Curry does often in the Finals to Green (he Should create) but when my Player Runs to the Basket, without to wait 10 feet of the Basket...... its annoying

In this 2k15 everytime i get steal from the Help Defender 90% of the Time, because the Help Defender gets a Speed Burst on that Animation such is BS.

I Hope that the Rolling Big Men had IQ

I see man . I always knew the offense / my career/ my league would improve .I admit I really doubted the defense would ever get to this level .
