The one guy Scott is trying to explain real features in the game and have a serious conversation and they are like 2 children constantly cutting him off and being silly.

For marketing purposes these two guys need to be replaced. Especially Ronnie. He looks 40 years old and constantly acts like a 10 year old.
valid............................

Ronnie really is annoying as hell. I would have rather seen Scott OG vs Czar or Mike

It will get the highest of praise simply because it's the "new game" and nobody wants anything negative said because we are all caught up in the upcoming release and ppl want to have something to look forward to it. Like little kids looking forward to Christmas, and hey, I get it. But when u look at the video's objectively, there is no way anything that was showed looks amazing. I see sliding, bad foot work, and some bad animations in inappropriate sequences. But that's just me, I'm pass the kid/Christmas stage and that's why I can be honest with what I see.

With that being said, I respect other's opinion and I will buy the game like everyone else(hoping for the best), just a bit more reserved however.
Its a good thing we have you around to tell us what are opinion should be.

Myself, I found it to be amazing, but after reading your post here, clearly I was wrong.

It was important to me also, I haven't play 2k since 2k12 so having the opportunity to learn more about the game was meaningful. The whole thing was a disaster for me personally, the gameplay looks really bad thanks to these two dudes that don't have a clue how to play their own game and trying to pay attention to the only person that apparently have something important to say about the game was pain-full.

How is it possible guys can bash Ronnie and LD2K with hate post but can't with the Devs? They are apart of the 2K team as well, right?

People don't know ANY of the work 2K staff does behind the scenes, and whether they are talented or not. Such disdain for people that you don't know baffles me.

Also, you guys get a stream of a full game(albeit, far from SIM) and now it's they don't play the game right? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

And you wonder the 2K staff makes less appearances nowadays.

Don't watch their stream, don't follow them on twitter, problem solved. No need to come here and hate on them, you knew what to expect watching their stream. I got no issue with either of them because I don't follow them on twitter and never have watched their stream. I appreciate when LD drops by and that's about it. I don't hang with marketing people when they're actively trying to sell something. Nothing personal.

hmmm if they didn't have a blog to show wouldn't it better if Czar and OG played? OMG they would pause each instance when the AI does something and show of there work lol

Ah what's done is done....is it one more day left? Midnight tomorrow or is it coming out Friday night?

Lol man.. so much shade in that post and you know exactly what you are doing, smh.

Since I have the game I can confirm there ARE several things to get excited for. If you look only for the negative, that's all you will ever see.

Most people are adults here and to make a post like that is childish by you man.

Tomorrow at midnight. I guess even earlier on a NZ account.

The game looked/played like a park street pick-up game with guys in NBA player models. Professional basketball simply doesn't look like that. Just my observation, hopefully when I get the game the game plays better and maybe it was just the ppl on the sticks. But ppl saying it looks smoother and amazing is just not accurate.


You have rough time with reading comprehension, huh?

I was explicitly referring to animations, player movement, and fluidity when I said it LOOKS realistic. And I explicitly said that it does not PLAY realistically.

Obviously if the two people playing the game are playing it like it's street ball, it will look like street ball. The MOVEMENT and ANIMATIONS were smooth and realistic, NOT the decisions and play-style these two guys were using.

Let two guys play who actually play sim basketball, the gameplay will play out realistically.

Despite peoples beliefs justice is anything but swift. Which is a good thing.

Patience on the other hand is very rare and precious. Try some, you will be glad you did.

That said, wanted to make sure to get as much info from OG as possible for you guys. When I'm in my own element I'm locked in, hard for me to talk and play with full concentration. The talking and information was more important.

Plus it's that time of year where I have to let Ronnie2K beat me so I don't get fired.
IDK man, looks like you were trying to play it 2k15/16 style and getting beat by sound defensive positioning and ball movement lol. But honestly This game looks and plays amazing (based on 2k university). Anyone that has seen my past posts knows that I have been seriously critical of the 2k lovefest in the past but at this moment I have never been more excited to play a basketball game. As past collegiate player and current coach I feel this is the year to actually represent basketball. Also the freedom on the sticks and control over player movement is such an improvement from years past that to me it is almost like playing a new game. This year I will probably be joining the love fest. Dropping a video later on today/tonight showing just what is possible with the stick this year based on extensive time in the U. I will post it in the forums, hope some of you guys check it out.

So you're saying 2K16 is better than 17 and that past NBA 2K games didn't have sliding and some bad animations?

I am not surprised after your call for the almighty forum gods to shoot from the sky and smite those who have spoken out of line before the taste of their misdeeds have even left their mouths.

1, skating/sliding still there

2, physics. The ball can still go right through a players body which makes it uninteresting to play good positional defense. An example at 2.35 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ladhW0v580

So for me it is unplayable.
These are my biggest pet peeves with the game as well. 2K can't seem to nail foot planting. Players are constantly sliding into position when receiving passes which is a huge eyesore. And then they still don't respect ball physics. I've beaten this horse to death but the ball needs to be tangible at all times! If I dribble the ball into a part of a players body, the ball should be knocked loose. The ball should not be able to go through someones body. That kills competiton when this stuff can randomly happen at any give moment. Instead 2K makes the ball partially tangible because they're scared that people will complain about too many turnovers. I think that is a BS way to go about it. If anything, they should have a Simulation mode (not sliders but an actual game mode ala NHL) in the game where everything is respected & you have to know basketball. That way they don't have to try to cater to both Sim & Arcade crowds. If 2K could just fix these two issues the game would be great, but until they do I can't even take the game serious.

They aren't playing around with the bans around here... This guy had been here for 13 years too, wow...


I understand what you were saying, but you could have said it differently.

I had to turn off because I kept getting interested in what Scott was saying only for the 2 guys to cut him off. I feel like I learned nothing from this. It was so distracting from watching the actual gameplay.

Moreso Ronnie in all honesty.

"Oh that was a bad shot"
"Oh I meant to pumpfake"
"Aaahhhehrb"

Just making noise constantly and Scott keeps having to stop his conversation and by the time he goes to resume another conversation has started.

I wouldn't have minded LD2K and Ronnie taking if it was just a gameplay video. That's fine, I'll sit here and listen to the banter.

But when you have a guy sitting there trying to tell us about the game were about to invest money in and you keep cutting him off to make casual random comments you need to just keep quiet!
