Cool off to read....seems like 2k is releasing more info earlier than later.

The automated contest system has been removed, so defenders need to actively get a hand in the shooter’s face by using the right analog stick if they want to affect the shot.

It's about damn time!

"Visual Concepts brought in streetball players to motion capture new park-specific handling moves like wrapping the ball around the defender’s head and nutmegs....these moves don’t fit the feel of the NBA, so they will be only available in the street modes."

Glad it's being limited to street modes and blacktop.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I saw nutmegs during NBA game play while watching video of the "other 2019 game."

Lot of good stuff in there. Auto-contest has been in 2K forever and always on by default. Completely removing it is a very significant change...especially for those who relied on just holding LT.

Hoping this means Park and NBA games are different feels. That would be awesome.

Yes I love that as it brings a bit of skill back. I formed habit way back holding right stick to contest and still used it even though I didn’t have to so it will be easy transition for me. I also loved hearing lightly contested shot after coming off pnr. Assuming that’s those defenders behind me that led to heavily contested shots that drove me crazy!

Definitely happy to have live ball back as well!

However, what I’m not sure I like at all is that new takeover system? What happens to guys with hof badges in their archetype and they catch fire do they go straight into cheese mode? Curious on others thoughts...
