im interested to see if you can really bully an opponent with a defensive specialized guard this year. defense is my favorite part of the game, and i would LOVE to be able to bully all the shot creators and sharpshooters this year with a hefty guard lol

I agree, absolutely one of the worst parts of the game is the glue like d and the inability of the offensive player to create quick seperation especially against the AI. This led to everyone turboing one way and spinning back the other because it would break the ai. this looks stupid and the spinning animations off the dribble are some of the worst in the game.

And that is a great thing to me. It should be difficult. It should be able stick skill , timing and proper judgment

There is difficult and then there is unrealisitic. Defenders sliding into position and recovering when they are clearly beat that's not really challenging that's just annoying and unrealistic.

And that was 2K16. So far, I haven't heard the hands on impression people mention that. I'm going to wait to see if that is the case first

Yeah man i really hope that's fixed. Harden never really felt like himself in 16. His handles, strength, and euro mastery wasn't replicated very well. Also Wade, CP3, and John Wall were in the same boat. Too much forced contact around the paint for the smaller more finesse finishers to shine.

Well we were obviously talking about 16. Mike Wang said there has been improvement in this area and that most of the sliding was a bandaid to help the defense.

Annoying and unrealistic is the bouncing side to side or picking up the ball like u gonna pass it n start dribbling again. The cheese the stuff

All these you tubers pretending to be leaking footage and things are really just ppl paid by 2k, posing as regular gamers, but reading a script and told what to say. Even trying to talk with the fake slang. Just a new marketing ploy by 2k to fool the young kids and teens. Next EA will do this next year with Madden.

This - 100%

Just stop it. I know the game will be nice. Or it should be;, just all these fake "leaked game play" is just so fake. And the fake slang? Lol just stop.

If its fake, then why buy if you are certain its fake? Even though you have no evidence of such. If you still buy the product wouldn't you be apart of the problem?

That's fine and I would be totally ok with it when its an AI controlled Tony Allen but not every player
