Mike is the hands up right stick defense in?

All of this sounds great. I can't wait to actually play it for myself. I wonder if the re-designed fatigue and injury systems mean that we will actually see severe on court injuries?

Mike what is the boost that you get when shooting with the pro stick as opposed to square/X... if I'm using the stick and my opponent is using buttons will i have an advantage?

They are trying to bring back NBA Street Gamebreakers with allowing alley-oop passes out of shots and even other alley-oops lol.

I'll need to see what the caps are looking like but based on the MyCareer trailer it looks like the archetypes are a little too restrictive. No all-around archetype? Or even 3&D? We should be able to improve a little past the caps based on in game performance, practice drills, etc but that's a whole other discussion.

Overall, great news in this blog though.

Just to note: You could already throw Oops out of shots and lay ups. You can do it in 2k16. The oops out of oops is something I've wanted for a long while. You guys think street, forgetting that this play happens in game in the league (looking at you, JR Smith and Iman Shumpert)

Super excited and thank you!! I'm here for the post game aka backing down aka mans game.

Mike, can you answer a question about the shot stick? Does the direction you need to pull the shot stick change based on camera angle/where the player is on the court or is it the same no matter what? Because one of the community day guys said that it changes but I hope not.

As always, fantastic read. Thanks for everything. I can't wait to get my hands on!
