A couple of rule changes i would love for them to revert back to is handchecking and oblish defensive three seconds.

That sounds like some awful basketball equivalent to college ball.

Otherwise known as "real defense."
Which the NBA played for decades before overreacting to the 1999 lockout.

That said, I highly doubt handchecking will ever come back to 2K. The series debuted in 1999, right when the NBA removed it--the current weak defense is too ingrained in the engine and code. So I don't blame 2K Sports.

Defensive three seconds, though...man, I hope we can turn that off, or have that rule change be proposed between seasons. It'll actually make the midrange shot somewhat viable again.

Lol real defense. If you say so. Real defense led to awful basketball during the 90s.

The game is much better for getting rid of those rules. Give me ball movement and cutting over dump and wait basketball.

Enough of it and it's the typical "My era will always be better" type article.

Completely ignoring the fact that league average points per game didn't change from the last 4 years with hand check and the 4 years after even with the faster pace.

Anyways, the real problem is calling the 90s "real defense". Today they play "real defense" just like they played "real defense" in the 90s.

But we can take this out of the thread otherwise I'll be done.

I think the most interesting presentation feature is the audio specific to each arena. Really curious to see how big of a difference there is.
