Youtube and google are your friends

That definitely looked very much like Curry. He seemed a little stuck in mud, but the body guesture felt really authentic. Maybe it's because he's correctly proportioned, or maybe because he has his own complete dribbling package. If so, that would be amazing.

So much nice improvements but the crowd doesnt react as well as NBA LIVE.

Looking at the clips, the player to court ratio looks fine to me.

It's been fine. It's the way the players are spacing the court and moving with purpose that makes the spacing look great in these vids....

I'm also noticing windows I didn't feel existed in prior games because of the new movement. There were these perfect windows on the P&R with Steph and CP3. With Steph after he got around DJ I felt you could pull up for a shot without feeling cheated by the defense recovering somehow and with CP3, Blake rolled hard and there was a window for a whip or bounce pass to Blake right as he had Scola on his left hip and Lowry hadn't recovered yet.

All this is very dissapointing...

that 2K doesn't have a NFL license and the EA team only adds a few new pass animations every dev cycle. Imagine all this defensive glory and adjustments in a football game omg.

We should all tweet this post to the Madden dev team.

LAWD HAVE MERCY ON OUR BASKETBALL SOULS, THANK YOU OG, THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL POST !!! #WinnersAlwaysWin #SimNation

I won't be happy unless ball handlers can split the pick and roll this year. If we can't do that we can't imitate 40% of pick and roll offense and also the best point guards in the game.

If we can't split the pick, that also means that we still don't have full control over out players and can't make quick change of direction moves.

# 271 Taer @ 09/04/15 06:30 PM

Defensive aspects of 2K were considered the red-headed step-child. No more.

I think I am as hyped for this year's title as I was for 2K10, and I never thought a new title would break through my rose-tinted glasses of yesteryear.

Well done everyone.

That face you make when reading 2K Dev Blogs

# 273 Sinner @ 09/04/15 07:00 PM

2k has lost their ever loving minds, these dudes have the Jordan Rules and Signature walks for coaches? Wow they are going hard and I'm going to love every minute of it.

Great read that's for damn sure...keep it going 2k keep it going.

Thank you so much 2K. For all the complaining I did about how unrewarding and sometimes downright bad the defense in 15 was, I have been silenced in such a great way.

I still gotta be a party pooper though because there's a few questions and issues I have...

-Can we split double teams on pnr plays?
-How about traveling violations or defensive fouls for being too aggressive like when Lebron was crowding Melo?
-When Delly is pressuring full court, is the AI adaptive to the situation? Meaning will another player come to the ball and help out. Same for double teams or being crowded, too many times I was left throwing a turnover because no one decided to come to the ball for an easy pass.

Besides that though I'm extremely impressed so far with the differences between 16 and 15. These truly all seem like game-changers imo. Defense should always be a priority.

That being said, I really hope the counters to beating great defense with the tools they gave us will be better, smarter offense and not cheese. I should be able to blow out every zig zagger in a game as long as the latency is improved.

And also it sounds like they've learned from previous mistakes and won't give in to the other community so easily. Let's try and make them play basketball the right way, not change the mechanics to make it easier for them.

This is what some of us were talking about to you non-believers about letting this group get a full cycle together. This is still just the beginning for this group man. Just imagine what you know they're already looking at trying to do for 2K17.....

# 277 raidertiger @ 09/04/15 07:25 PM

Lmao see this is what you get hyped for! Not some typical 2 minute hype trailer.

Bravo 2k. Was a doubter but this sounds legit.

Yeah really man it's crazy how good this game can get, but have to admit I don't want to imagine anything right now. My head hurts reading all this while it's soaking in.
