There was a soft full court trap the 07 celtics uses to use to control the pace. Id love to do that to keep people from just zooming up the court on me. Any chance something similar made it?

You have all the options you had last year but with a few more nobs added.

I mean, the guy passes and the receiver goes first and the balls goes out of bounds, you know, some bad timing. I know we had this on 2k15, but they seen random and not so organic. Thanks a lot for your effort and all the dev team. Talking form Brasil. Pre Order made today for PC.

I would expect more turnovers just from off ball steals and denials being improved this year. Everyone is different so I can't speak on what simulation numbers you're looking for. This a BIG system, heavy ISO players will need to change their approach. Again, this is on the higher difficulty levels I'm referring to.

I guess that was the only part that was messing the actual settings screen I guess you didn't want to show that yet.

There is either settings for every defensive player under the ball handler or settings for the defensive roll man. It will be interesting either way.

Id like to personally say thank you for all the love the defense has gotten this year. Via twitter i have been giving you the blues about the areas that were lacking and suggestions and you have seemingly came through. Things will not be perfect but thats to be expected, so i cant say you wont hear more complaints in the future but in my Tupac voice.... "You are appreciated"

On a side isolation is there a defensive setting that allows us to bring a big to the strong side box to deter an isolation drive? Or are my only options to double out on the perimeter or wait for the drive to start for a double to come?
I am fine either way just didnt know if i needed to manually bring my help this way or is there a setting for that. Thanks for all the additions.

# 448 redsox4evur @ 09/06/15 04:13 PM

Hey OG I got one question for you. Can we manually call for a pick with any forward this year playing as a guard? Meaning the 3, 4, or 5. Because right now I think you can only call for a pick from the 4 or 5.

You can call a pick from anyone on the floor.

Yea I missed worded that. I want to know if a 3 can set a pick for my guard. Because right now the 3 will set a pick if you are calling for one with the 4 or 5 and not for a guard.

The Pre-roation setting will help your issue but doesn't solve the exact situation you're talking about. Loading boxes, pins, and elbows is something we didn't get to this year. There's manual ways to achieve this of course but I wouldn't completely sign off on that.

Understood. Thanks for that response. The changes you all made are great. Brings the mind back into the game. For us old guys we need the mental part of the game, because i cant keep up strictly with the stick skills. Allowing us to win with our minds is appreciated. No one can ever say you and czar dont know basketball strategy and really mean it from here on out.

OG, I know it's early yet, and we still need to play the game, but are you - at least on a preliminary basis - encouraged by the reactions to what you guys have done from the sim community?

I hope you are. And I hope others at VC are aware too.

We really like the way you as a dev team are kinda sorta partnering with the sim community. Some of us are knuckleheads all the time, some of us are on and off knuckleheads, some of us are OCD about one or two things. . . but overall, there's a solid base of sim gamers who are stunned and stoked by what you guys have attempted this year.

We may not always be the loudest or most persistent with positive feedback, but we're here.

Anyway, I hope y'all are feeling good, really good, about that. And even if there are some larger hiccups that need to be fixed after day 1, what I'm saying here still stands. We're in this with you.

Oh, you're talking about when you just hold down circle/B? If that's the case then no but you could still call for a pick with anybody.

You can already do that on 2k15 tap "O" on PS4 (pick control) and you'll see buttons up to players press the button of the player you want to get pick from and you're good to go. Ofcourse the control scheme will be different in 2k16 yet again it'll be there and more options than ever.

Arob are you asking for something like what Bulls will do with ball on strong side, j. Noah's man on weak side but he comes all the way to strong side of free throw line with help rather than the stop line for help? Do the Bulls have some defense like this or your saying only manually can we replicate this OG?

# 458 Goffs @ 09/06/15 04:51 PM

OG any changes with right stick defense?

I loved your question! We're getting there sooner than later, I can promise you that.

Yes I'm really happy and excited. When the blog came out I didn't quite know what to expect. I was confident in what we had accomplished but you know as well as I do that threads or blogs can get out of hand just over a logo or some lighting. I'm glad everyone stayed on topic.
