I second this completely. It should be about taking good shots and what the opponent (CPU or human) gives you, not about spamming paint points because the success rate for contact shots (like in the past) is too high.

The game looks ****ing amazing on nearly every level, minus no halftime show, and y'all hit it out of the park. Just stay on this direction and the players (sim or casual) will adapt, IMO.

Side note: Beds, your default roster looks on point my man. Rebounders were rebounding, non rebounders weren't snatching boards (*cough*Amar'e*cough*) and everything in between. Goodness, I can't believe I have to wait 5 more days.

I can't believe how many of you are blinded by 2k... Their passing has never been good. Floaty passed... Defenders can jump from the free throw to the 3 point line to steal passes.. that's just like people who use the bump cheese just to steal passes... I can clearly tell the sim head vs the run and gun style players. If my man is running a back door and clearly beats his man, there is no reason for his man to make a miraculous covery when I hit the pass on time and he still tip it... In 2k half the time they aren't even going for a tip you just press x or square and they randomly flail their arms in the air and get lucky passes tipped like that

It sucks that Steve Kerr is still commentating when he's coaching now. That really takes away from the presentation. Can we get any word on what happened with that from the Devs?

I like the frequency of missed shots in the paint. In 2k14, too many players who were not known for finishing were making contact layups at too high of a rate.

I especially hate those scoop layup animations because they were an automatic 2 points and EVERYONE regardless of their layup rating, was able to execute it.

I am proud to say that this is the best paint defense I have seen since 2k11

Takes significant time to change that up so expect it in 2k16. He has so many lines in the game they'd have to get rid of all of it and record hours of new lines with Kellogg/Harlan(who knows if they even want to keep this team together or find someone else to do color with Harlan etc.). It seems they focused on a lot of other areas and they probably will put it on the board for next year.

Tell me about it. Probably too much work for them to re-do all of that.. but then again, they did do a whole bunch of new voice-over work. Meh. It's gonna be stupid hearing Kerr while I use the Dubs. Might have to just turn off commentary as a whole. I hear a lot of the same stuff from last year anyways.

oh, and waddup Vontae!

I second this as well. A tragedy that seems to happen yearly is that gameplay elements which are correct out the box get ruined with patches. People act like layups and inside shots are automatic in real life. Contact, a bad angle, poor touch, too much momentum, etc. can all cause a layup to miss, and many layups and close shots are missed in the NBA.

It seems like 2K finally got this right and the misses at the rim in these vids do not look arbitrary or cheap. This, along with a paint that is harder to penetrate, defensive rotations that look sensible and organic contact animations might finally provide us a well balanced game with NBA-like percentages without tons of slider adjustments. These are the elements that nudge the game closer to actual basketball.
