Better help defense.. for real this time? Lol

Hopefully when he says that teammates left their assignments, it wasn't one pass away and/or somebody rotated over to the guy that was left.

Awesome! I'll give the new controls a whirl but it's good to know that I can always fall back if I'm not feeling it.

So can we also still use that for lay ups or do we need to use the analog sticks now? I usually shoot/layup/dunk with the Square button unless it's a fast break and I want a special dunk. If not then I guess I just have to change up how I play.

I mostly agree with you...

Hopefully the focus on control was maintained when developing these things...

was just about to say this. if they are trying to implement better overall gameplay mechanics....but trying to reach the release date as well, some stuff is gonna get lost in the fray. the first couple of patches would be needed to see where these implementations truly lay in regards to fluidity

This applies to passes, too. Jones acknowledged that throwing the ball willy-nilly into the key was almost a "money" play last year. In about half an hour playing NBA 2K17, I saw multiple passes to the paint get deflected and even picked off. The ball just felt more live, whether on passes, steals or rebounds.

This is music to my freaking ears. Thank you 2K!

"The new system in NBA 2K17 is designed to penalize people who lay on the sprint button all the time, because that’s simply not a realistic way to play basketball"

‘Hey, I’m [rated] 95, so I’m good’ — you want to be able to separate that field, and really start bringing out the guys who really know what they’re doing versus the others."

I'm gonna cry
