JAM DONE....omg....DEFENCE.!!! FINALLY..

# 22 Junior Moe @ 09/04/15 12:27 PM

These cats are not fooling around this year! They going for the jugular! Hell, I'm gonna run a few online this year solely because of the defensive adjustments. Cant wait to match wits and stick skills online.

Sidenote: The lighting on the Butler/LeBron video looks awesome; LeBron looks great, too!

I am impressed by this. Now just tell me PC has 21:9 Ultrawide support and I'm buying day one.

# 24 Goffs @ 09/04/15 12:29 PM

My god....I've been asking for this type of format for years! A blog accompanied by short video clip examples.

Signature coach walk...seriously guys? Damn! Lol

Now get the actual refs in the game as well!

Thumbing you up because I have a ultra wide mounted as my third monitor.

Loving all theses new animations so much. So much to see in theses clips. Looks so real.

# 29 Junior Moe @ 09/04/15 12:32 PM

That second, quick jump block by AD on Dwight was beautiful. This may be the year that shot blockers are feared.

# 30 XxSpiritHunterX @ 09/04/15 12:34 PM

I'm hyped! Bring out the Czar now!

Yes! This got me excited the most! Finally a defensive center is something to be feared!

Its unbelievable how much they are adding to the game this year. 2k16 is setting up to be something special

# 33 Ichi @ 09/04/15 12:35 PM

When I start wondering if I can win a match on HoF....

All these news are awesome, the depth of options on defence is amazing. Playing with great defenders should be a blast this year.

Some insane **** man.

	NEW- CPU “Junk” defenses – a team like the Mavericks will show you a man look until the first or second pass, then they will transition into a 2-3 zone. This is all dependent on the team or player they are facing. NEW – Multiple defensive player assignments. Just like the finals, a player like Lebron could see up to 4 different Warriors match up with him throughout a game. This can change due to quarter, score and how he’s having success. NEW- Elite defender responsibility – In any other basketball game prior to NBA 2K16, a Cavs vs Bulls match up would have Dunleavy guarding Lebron the entire game. Now certain teams will put their best defenders on you depending on the situation. Expect players like Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, or Kawhi Leonard to switch on to elite perimeter players.

Yeah man it's the only thing holding me back from pre-ordering and is the basis of my recent hate towards 2K. I love the game hence why I want it to support 21:9.

Looks like the OS Teach Me How Thread will be quite popular this year :-)

# 37 RyanFitzmagic @ 09/04/15 12:37 PM

Depending on the hedge defenders defensive IQ and ratings, he will now drop and take the appropriate containment angles.

Will this involve the screener's defender playing back to keep the ballhandler out of the paint? The big man will be "below" the ballhandler's defender, like so:

As opposed to stepping out towards the ballhandler, like so:

Defenses use this tactic almost exclusively against slashers like LeBron:

And some will even defend Stephen Curry this way (if you can play back as the screener off of Curry, you can play back off of anyone):

Good read overall. I'm diggin it.

# 38 23 @ 09/04/15 12:37 PM

NEW – Legendary team adjustments (Some highlights).
Jordan RULES

# 39 Vni @ 09/04/15 12:37 PM

I WANT TO PLAY THE DAMN GAME.

# 40 El_Poopador @ 09/04/15 12:40 PM

This was beautiful. Hopefully user controlled players can jump multiple times that quickly as well.
