hey Mike 2 questions

Last year the in game injuries were non existent, especially in MyGm/MyLeage, with the new injury system will we actually see some injuries now, it adds some good strategy and realism to those modes especially people who play more than sim

Also, How do the layups/dunks work if you strictly use Square?

Da Czar designed the offensive transition logic and OG handled the defensive AI side. Anything in the realm of AI logic I gladly defer to those guys.

I hope I'm misunderstanding. For those of us that use relative controls with the broadcast cam, will the shot stick be absolute?

Nice that is what I thought it was thanks

Great great read Mike. Congrats on the Dev teams success.

I have a question about hop step layups and spin layups in relation to respecting a defenders position in the paint. I wonder what the risk reward will be in relation to 2k16... I often avoided layups in the paint in 16 to avoid the more than likely turnover or strip.

Will we have the full arsenal of moves at our disposal without worrying about turnovers? Thanks

" Pump fake auto-fouls in the paint are gone. If you “do nothing” on the sticks as a defender, you won’t incur a shooting foul. "

Glad that auto fouls in the paint are gone. Can you draw shooting fouls manually?

I heard from a trustworthy source that Da Czar is on Mt. Sinai waiting to return the Offensive tabernacles to his #simnation flock

Man that's beautiful. It drove me absolutely nuts to see bigs rebound and pull the ball to their hips before going back up.
