Great.

Just great.

I'm so annoyed by this.

Now I have to speed my way through MGS 5 by the time 2k comes out because 2k16 is going to take up 100% of my gaming time for the foreseeable future.

This looks tremendous.

So the next vid will possibly be with Da_Czar and OG. Sooo will Czar be in his full beard and cool man shades get up? I for one would be disappointed if he didn't lol

It all sounds good but it feels like I've heard this before. I believe they've said the same things about previous 2k iterations in regards to foot planting, in game adjustments and getting stuck in animations, yet the game releases and the problems are still there. Hopefully, this one can deliver.

As negative as this is. I have to agree. Ive been been around on these forums for quite some time and have purchased every 2K since NBA 2K and this happens every year. The stuff I have read in the blogs has sounded great but I'm just waiting to see it for myself. I was very disappointed with 2K15's gameplay and hopefully with the apparent improvements of passing and general locomotion and responsiveness, this series will reel me in again.

From what I remember, we never actually saw it in action, this video is actually promising. Not to mention we've seen in other instances where it looked good (the instagram clips of AD's pick and roll or Harden bringing the ball up, also the Gamescom leak). It still may not be to the level we're thinking in our heads but if it even works 70%-75% the way it's supposed to I'll be happy.

I wonder if the assistant coaches will have their own mindsets too???

It would be cool to see moving 3s go in more. Guys like Korver, Curry, Redick, Danny Green, KD, Harden can shoot with their momentum going forward, turn in mid air or while slightly drifting irl(Mostly on catch and shoot jumpers) and not be a effected.

The RS/X + LS moving shot doesn't work from outside the 3 point line in 2K15 and the catch and shoot game is weak at times because you have to wait for shooters to be completely still before shooting. The defender would already be in his jersey by then. Another thing I'd like to see is more fouls on 3 point shots. Guys who abuse the double team, zone defense can just sprint into a shooter and throw off his shot or they will unrealistically come out of nowhere and block Curry or Harden's jumper which should not happen.

Collisions, Physics & Foot Planting. This is what I've been waiting to hear. I figured it was coming but I'm glad to hear it. Now hopefully things are gonna play a lot better.

I agree that it looks promising. But only actual gameplay footage will really show what these upgrades are all about.

What I'm most impressed by, to be honest, is how the addition of body scanning is really bringing these players to life.

We'll see 2k hopefully this carries over to my player lord knows each team needs to play differently

Yes and real rotations

Right? I was expecting it to just finally give some guys real looking arms or something, but it has made a dramatic difference in player appearances. Players really pop out at you and I've got to say, body scanning has blown me away so far.

Man these guys know how to put out a hype video and get their fans drooling. But when they say things like the most realistic experience you will ever play just makes me cringe. This has always been a series that looks great and looks realistic but is filled with cheese, exploits, and loss of user control. I just played an online match in 15 in which I won but was outrebounded offensively 21-0. The guy was absolutely terrible once I took his 3point back and forth cheese away and just launched dumb shots up continuously. However the game accomidated him and kept him in the game by giving a totally unrealistic advantage. I even switched up line-ups and tactics because I knew his only chance was offensive rebounds to open 3's or putbacks. Despite my efforts I could not manage to stop it from happening and won the game on by a mere 4 points though shooting 25% higher from the field. The game has spawned a generation of unsim gamers because it rewards poor basketball IQ. How am I supposed to believe it will be the most realistic experience ever for a sports game when previous iterations seemed to be the least realistic. It looks realistic on the outside but I want a legit game of basketball to play not just cool animations.

Y'all know watching the video doesn't automatically sign you up to purchase the game right? ...its video touching on added features and talking about improvements for those that want to know.....

While I get what you're saying, they aren't inaccurate in making that statement because, tbh, it's true. You played a cheeser and that's what cheesers do and while I'm not giving them a pass for some of the exploits online that gamers use (there will always be exploits btw), this is still the best basketball sim experience you'll find and it plays great when playing against someone who plays with actual bball knowledge or adjust sliders to get the desired result out of the cpu.

Mike Wang's gameplay blog addresses both of your issues hopefully they wont be a problem ever again
