Yep, and it clanged off just like IRL.

All size ups were charted throughout the year to nail authenticity.

yep,

especially with the passing and spacing improvements on offense, it's going to be tough to do that.

Does this mean we can set a screen in the back court if being picked up full court by delly?

What about trap defenses like the Heat used to use during the Big 3 Era and some of last season? Would love to wear teams down with that.

All there and if there's any issues or missed by some chance, just let me know and we can update them!

I spent a lot of time in 2k15 in scrimmage mode just learning the game. I can't wait to do in 2k16. Any chance of an interactive tutorial again for basic and advanced controls ?

No further questions...

Somebody post the VC it's over gif, game of the year. The fact that you could update that quickly is amazing.

I think I'm more excited about defense in this game and what you guys did over anything else! Truly incredible! This game will be a true chess match and coaches dream!

Let me ask if playing in an online league head to head will having auto defensive settings will the CPU still make coaching adjustments as if they would against another user? Meaning let's say I'm playing durant and thunder and he's lighting me up will CPU auto double? Auto double a mismatch in the post of lebron was posting Tony Parker? Or will they realize how to play steph curry on pnr as opposed to Andre miller? Will this all be the same vs a user with the defensive settings set to auto?

Also, so you guys can change defensive stuff in a roster just like you can add offense in roster update? Will you be updating how different teams play defense throughout the year if they are doing something different? Maybe it was talked about and or I missed that. Just curious....

Yeah they said they could and would

I've always downloaded rosters and played with them but with czar and OG adding offense and defense sets and strategies through the game I don't think I'll be doing that this year! Plus excited to see beds stretched out ratings anyway and I think Ill be just fine this year with up to date rosters.

I am really curious about how CPU ai will auto operate for a user in online leagues though. I've always taken pride in my defense in leagues and usually lead league in ppg avg given up. I should note my play style with running sets 90% of game probably helps this stat with a slower tempo however. Anyways, I was talking to commish about this today about thoughts on users letting CPU auto defense and with smarter ai how that will play out. As a coach I've always been a control freak about setting this in the past but with all this stuff and the ai having ability to know what to do based on matchups and how the game is going they would probably just do what I'd preset anyways without the hassle of doing it. That's if it works this way for CPU ai on a user team. Only thing I probably wouldn't like about that is if they auto doubled in areas or situations I didn't want them to.

Can you help clarify a bit here OG? I'm not opposed to other users using it and I'll probably do both but for our leagues sake just curious...

Maybe Im imagining, but couldnt you call for a manual pick in the backcourt?

There was rarely full court pressure offline, but I think I remember being able to.

To be honest idk as I never even tried it before. But now that I know it's in the game I for surely will use it...
