I think you're trying to break down the whole Lebron against (insert player)..as he's driving...the video shows him a bit off balance before he gets bumped. It looks authentic

i dont think just anybody can come barrel down on the defense. i dont think kyle lowry or rudy gay should just run down and get past guys. but one has consistently done it for as long as he's been in the league. and the scenario i presented earlier is literally how teams defend him in real life. 2K's blanket defending is concerning as it doesnt really pertain to every nba player that way in real life......with that said, it was still only one 10 sec clip and we need to see more scenarios played out before definitively saying its 100% good or bad.

I have no problem with the bump animation, physical play happens just rewatch the 2k16 finals..

In my eyes the problem is KD forcing LBJ to pick up his dribble. The best player in the game isn't picking up his dribble because someone stopped him from driving.

You're speaking in hypotheticals. So you're saying Lebron is a ballhog and has an ego problem? LOL..can't believe I'm breaking this down so much

I wish 2K would get on ball defense correct for once. The fact that KD was able to stop Lebron in his tracks is terrifying. That is simply not how on ball d works in the NBA. You're not going to just completely stop good rim attacker from getting to the cup in reality. Either a charge, block or hip riding will occur (most times hip riding) and that's it. Only elite defenders can some times lock up a player enough to completely take away his path to the basket. And even then it doesn't happen often. Defense is and always has been about the help D. Your defense is only as good as the guys behind you. Maybe i'm taking this to serious. Otherwise the game looks great.

Exactly why is continuing to dribble not an option...

basically you just can't bowl your way in but that doesnt mean you just completely stop in your tracks... but i know that was put in years ago as a solution to some other problem

The panic is already setting in...

what's sad is 2k knew this would happen. they knew someone would post a phone video, instead of giving us a trailer or gameplay they would rather this come out. they basically let people market for them. it's really sad. this tactic is a shame. does it work, a little I guess, but you should be the first one to show videos, not your fans.

So you would rather somebody just turbo down the court with LeBron every play?
