Only a few players size up moves will be missed.

Kyrie irving had the best ones imo, steph coming in second

It seems like a lot of the articles I've read on the new animations pertain to the offensive end.

I'm curious as to how the defense will be affected. Will I still be trapped in a foul animation if I try to steal the ball and I end up trying to wrap my arms around the defender? Will I still unintentionally draw hard fouls when all I wanted to do was test my "verticality"?

I hope we get some news on the defensive end.

That comes from spamming the buttoni think. That causes intentional fouls

After reading this and every other article about this 2k17 demo, i cant help but wonder if this all means 2k sports nerfed their "keeps scores close" code thats written in the game.

We all know when one person gets a big lead, the opposition suddenly gets a boost in percentages and begins to hit shots and if they are down by a large margin, weird things will happen to satisfy the code's intent in the game. While this is great for casual gamers, it almost takes "control" from the user and the game becomes "scripted."

Hopefully this is what Rob means by "user skills" and control but I'm not going to hold my breath.
