It's definitely not real life like with the ability to cut and drive out of a size up but I can see what 2K is trying to do but limiting some of it because people will exploit any and everything. It's sad really. No offense taken, just healthy discussion back and forth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand. And don't get me wrong, I don't like that the animation is gone. But I am also happy speed boosting back and forth is gone. But like I said, I think 2K was just trying to fix it before the RTTF Tourney. Honestly, I think they should have slowed that animation down if anything and waited to fully fix in 2K17, but to remove it completely is disappointing.

But man is it entertaining hearing the speed boosters get upset. This video has a lot of them mad on Twitter because it's acting like its a video on how to speed boost now lol:

Eh, I feel like it's a bit of overanalyzation to get the view across. If you have general issue with 2k's take on speed/ explosion, that's something I wont argue that with you. Nothing has really changed though....just the exaggerated boost you would get from particular moves.

For one, it's Tim Hardaway Jr., I don't expect the explosion to be lighting fast. The cross did what it was supposed to do, made him go one way, and I successfully exploited that by branching and driving. It was definitely a successful launch sequence IMO- again, if you had an issue with the overall speed of the game I doubt that will change- that's a different subject

As an example, I'm branching out of a sig size up here with Kyrie here....happens much quicker in comparison- against SS/CPU D

IMO that looks almost perfect to me. A step ahead is what quick NBA players generally get and thats what it looks like here.

I think people who are mourning the speed boost think that getting past your defender with moves means leaving him in the dust at the 3pt line while you streak in for a dunk. It doesn't really happen like that in real life

I hear you and I understand where you're coming from, and damn that video is hilarious.

The salt in the park and on twitch is real with this patch, I have a feeling a lot of these dudes are gonna need to watch some 2KU videos or something with their cheese gone.

I agree.

You can still get complete blow bys as well, just not all the time...

I've been saying this for years man. Granted, I don't play online, but I've felt like the first steps were too slow in 2k.

Maybe I just suck, wouldn't surprise me, but I find it far too often that I can't take advantage when a big switches out to guard my PG. Guys like Westbrook, Rose, Curry and the like don't need size-ups or dribble moves to get past bigger defenders at the top of the key. They just don't.

Except you shouldn't have to always pull off a dribble move to blow past someone. That just isn't realistic.
