Spotted a few of em.

- Crawford setting a pick (1:44)
- Smith vs Ariza (1:58)


Most of them come from the paint. The collision there, especially the posterizers, probably play out as an animation. Ofcourse I could be wrong but the sliding still exists.

Not sure if this was answered but are these videos the final build?

Appreciate that. Saw those. I guess I have a different definition of sliding when people mention the word "sliding." My definition is whether the players actually footplant, and move. I would consider "crawford setting a pick" to be some type of computer glitch of some sort.

I would consider "Smith vs. Ariza dunk" to be a combination of glitch and one of three things because the motion shift was fairly minimal based on where Ariza was and where Smith was. This is only a guesstimate because I have no background whatsoever in game development.
(A) Could be computer glitch (similar to the "crawford setting a pick")
(B) Could be collision animation didn't trigger because the game didn't register that it required a collision sequence.
(C) Could be real physics not fully implemented everywhere on the court.
Again, no clue, just guessing. My opinion on why they happen is as good as yours.


Now, my biggest concern regarding NBA2k16 is if I have full control of the player I'm controlling. Skipped 2k15, but having been playing 2k14, I notice I get stuck in animations. Say, I might be guarding someone on the outside on the right side of the court near the paint, and notice the ball was just passed to an open man on the other side of the paint. He drives to the paint, but whatever I do I'm stuck guarding another defender and can't break free to give double team help or contest the shot. Moving the left stick doesn't help whatsoever. I would then frustratingly press the "X" button so I can switch over, but even when I do, that new player gets stuck to another animation or simply runs away from the play. When you put your controller down and your character still moves, that could be an issue.

I don't want to be too harsh but this video has a lot of points I absolutely dislike...

1. Paul and Pierce look terrible
2. Beverly travelling at 2:41 (okay foul but cmon)
3. nobody in reality would catch a ball like Paul 3:01
4. space in the crowd looks so bad (behind the corners of the court)
5. Why does Paul not steal the ball out of Moties hands? 4:13

By far the worst video of the new footage. It's like NBA 2K15 2.0! Other footage is much better especially Thunder vs. Pelicans

Wouldn't been better to post all the vids in one thread ? Now its a mess with threads all over the place for each video.

Hard to judge gameplay since i'm more into online multiplayer modes. If its all at least better than 2k15 i'll definitely enjoy. Also hopes for better online servers from launch.

The new scans are going be very apparent when you have teammates of a similar height (Clint Capela and Dwight) but vastly different builds. Didn't anyone spot Glen Davis and whether he finally stops looking like Shrek's black son? from Spurs Nation/Bills Backer HQ

Are you not going for realism? This is exactly what he looks like in real life!! Hahaha :-)
