Thanks Da_Czar for the "improved spacing" focus.

Hopefully, offball movement is with some sort of context/purpose and not the extremes we previously had (complete stagnancy, on early versions / complete "without purpose" continuous movement, on 2K13) ... or even better, that we could choose from these 3 variants.

Also hope passes/catching animations speed have been sped up (made faster), ball movement should almost always beat out of position scramble defenses (CPU/HUM).

Finally, after a little brake, to try and go all in (for 2k15 ?) with implementing some of the new team defensive schemes.

P.S:
I heard in a referenced video from one of the teamup guys (shakedown) that 2K had dedicated servers now, can you share some light about it ? ... if true, that would be a massive feature for 2K to market upon.

I'll believe it when I see it...
I think Ld2k mentioned sometime ago in another thread that classic teams aren't going away

Also, next-gen exclusive features are a strong possibility, since there'd be no reason to post current and next-gen features separatedly if there were no differences.
I noticed in the video now that it says "Crew Mode Current Gen Only". Now I'm confused, perhaps there'll be a "new" Crew? Like "MyCAREER" is the new "MyPLAYER"?

One of the devs chimed in months ago about signature getbacks....like for example Novak hitting a three then he does the belt thing running back on D.

After big shots, think Melo's "3 to the Dome"

Current gen. Nice. Since the version i'm getting will be the next gen version, I hope it's loaded with it's own improvements along with many of the ones already present. Or maybe the current gen was made to mimick what they were already planning to do with next gen.

No telling. My eyes and ears will be open.

Also saw very little of it in the 3v3 "crew" demo running in the promo video.
 
# 69 TreyIM2 @ 08/14/13 11:34 PM
Hmmm. Sounds real good! Too much goodness to comment on for me, atm, but I wonder if I can stand to wait for the next gen version after the current gen version comes out. Doubt it. Heh. Will cop em both.

After reading list:



Minor issue, but I hope in MyCareer you can better maintain your averages. I'm tired of going from 20/5/5 to 17/4/3.

it has never been focused on. It will be a problem that forever haunts 2k until they get a new engine.
 
# 72 MarvinOida @ 08/14/13 11:46 PM
Glad the focus was gameplay. But no mention of Path to Greatness, Legends, or Association kinda sucks.

I still have questions in terms of the customization side, like shoe creator, Create a ____, and hopefully Team Information.

I'm very confident sim players are going to be extremely happy with the gameplay this year. Dev's looked at fan feedback and took everything into consideration.

This news should fill the appetite as we prepare to dive deeper in the coming weeks.
The gameplay news is great, but no mention of association changes? You're really going to give those who pretty much only play association the same mode we have had for the past 5 years?

There was a Michael Jordan achievement on the list that was released and LD or Sim did say legends would be back. I just don't think it's bring talked about yet.

Once could only assume it was looked at and fixed after reading this.

Under the block section they say new player collisions. So I assume this is dealing with paint contact. Hopefully.
 
# 77 Mintsa @ 08/14/13 11:52 PM
Also happy to here about the daily roster updates and no more insider. Hopefully this holds true and roster moves are actually made on a daily basis.

Seems like everything we asked for !!

Think Ima pick this up for ps3 instead of ps4 though .
