Wow!

I can't wait to see these things in context during some gameplay vids. And yes, some teams not named Heat or Thunder.

And 2K, please avoid the major glitch or near game killer. I'll still buy the game next year if this one is near perfect. I promise.

Good insight(s) really like the bounce pass button. Hopefully it will not be a "cheese" method in where every player can throw crisp bounce passes and that the passes somehow morph to the players hands in traffic, but I doubt it though...

Also, I hope they added more to the association this year and that we get an insight. That is the only mode that I actually play.

that's pretty bad, but sadly there is one area where that game actually works better - the offball defender was actually able to swipe at the ball and steal it from the big man. in current 2k games you can swipe and swipe when standing directly in front of the ball, yet your man almost always fails to knock it loose.

Oh man. Trying to take down Mike Dunleavy Jr. with inverse controls under the Golden Gate Bridge still gives me nightmares. I literally resorted to attempting to play that challenge with my entire controller upside down. Didn't help.

I used to play while watching the tv screen through a mirror. Worked like a charm hahaha

I have been begging for this to be fixed for years.. and it seems like such a small little thing that should be easily fixable.. I really don't understand what 2k's problem with fixing this is.. it's so small and yet it adds so much more authenticity to the game.

You just blew my mind.

What 2k should do is have the man in the post pick up the ball and go into a double team animation where he keeps
the ball high and be able to make a move or pass out. The AI should also look to kick out if it sees a double coming and an open man on the perimeter (depending on tendencies). Perhaps ball security and offensive awareness could factor in on whether the big man sees the steal coming and reacts properly or coughs up the ball.

It should work similarly to how stealing works against ball handlers. We might also need a button to pick up the dribble manually for when we're controlling big men. Clicking the control stick? B in he post?

Keeping it fresh!

Really looking good! Hope to see even more footage this week.

Looks like you added a nice Westbrook drive and jam. A Durant hack on a jumper. Took out Tyson trying to guard Teague though. Wonder why. Hmm...

First Zach Randolph warps into another dimension thanks to Kevin Love's up and under, now this. Very peculiar there, 2k.

# 178 JerzeyReign @ 08/22/12 06:01 PM

I don't like how players jump AFTER a dunker has already finished. Non shot blockers (especially guards who get get caught under the rim) will rarely jump if a dunker is taking flight -- dudes scared to end up on that poster.

# 179 Nathan_OS @ 08/22/12 06:02 PM

Yeah they should just stand there and watch, oh well though

The Love and Randolph clip is still in the video. The added clips were nice though.
