im interested to see if you can really bully an opponent with a defensive specialized guard this year. defense is my favorite part of the game, and i would LOVE to be able to bully all the shot creators and sharpshooters this year with a hefty guard lol

can actually break people down with Harden hopefully. The glue defense and slow stepbacks make it way to difficult to pulll his signature moves

I agree, absolutely one of the worst parts of the game is the glue like d and the inability of the offensive player to create quick seperation especially against the AI. This led to everyone turboing one way and spinning back the other because it would break the ai. this looks stupid and the spinning animations off the dribble are some of the worst in the game.

And that is a great thing to me. It should be difficult. It should be able stick skill , timing and proper judgment

There is difficult and then there is unrealisitic. Defenders sliding into position and recovering when they are clearly beat that's not really challenging that's just annoying and unrealistic.

And that was 2K16. So far, I haven't heard the hands on impression people mention that. I'm going to wait to see if that is the case first

Yeah man i really hope that's fixed. Harden never really felt like himself in 16. His handles, strength, and euro mastery wasn't replicated very well. Also Wade, CP3, and John Wall were in the same boat. Too much forced contact around the paint for the smaller more finesse finishers to shine.
