2K has just released another NBA 2K16 video. This one features Mike Wang, Scott O’Gallagher and Jerson Sapida going over the new gameplay enhancements in the game this year.
Man this game is looking good. Everything in the video sounds good can't wait to experience it. So many little details here. I like how Crawford looked back at the defender real quick after he crossed him lol
I noticed a LOT of times players away from the ball would just be standing upright with their arms hanging, not really something you see in basketball too often especially with players cutting and running all around them
There was a shot of AD taking a turnaround jumper, and Jordan was in the paint but he wasn't even looking at the play. Usually when you see a guy in a position to take a shot post players begin to start fighting for position under the basket in anticipation for a rebound
Other than some really nitpicky stuff it looks pretty awesome, I am glad 2K decided to give us some more info
like what i'm seeing so far. really hope we see the return of ball denial (and offensive counters for it) hope we see some big defensive improvements too.
Nice vid. Not in depth really, just saying lots of nice things that in truth could have been said about the last iteration. I guess I won't really grasp it all until I play it
Agreed. Nice to see new footage and information, but it kind of felt like a lot of the generic lines I feel like I hear each year -- "New post game finally gives you control", "Foot planting", "Smart A.I. that adjusts".
That's not to say there won't be great and cool strides to be made, for instance, the foot movement really did look neat, but much of what they said felt vaguely familiar. Hopefully another in-depth blog is forthcoming. This video was certainly better than nothing, though.(EDIT: Heyyy, ask and ye shall receive, just saw there's an actual blog as well. Neato!)
Separately, I know the footage shown is from various builds (I think Stephen Curry had the Yu-Gi-Oh haircut at the start of the video then much more accurate hair at the end), and I know lighting is always being re-worked and whatnot, but I was still mildly entertained at O.J. Mayo looking like a 44-year-old Charles Oakley from the back.
