Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

Everything looks great I don't wanna nitpick and maybe it's an early build cuz no rookie scans but horford :/ [ATTACH]105643[/ATTACH]


I still up Rose and Butler get updated too

Rose and Butler did get updated. Also I feel like Horford looked better in the other video.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

Slightly OT, but just an observation: notice how 2K is managing all these reveals:

They put out video accompanied by an in depth blog explanation and deep dive.

I actually think that's a good thing, and preferable to random video gameplay leaks where we get imperfect smartphone video without context, leaving us with a ton of questions and misconceptions that await answers.

Yeah. The wait sucks but this is a better, more controlled way to detail the new additions.

Wow! All this looks and sounds amazing! I've wanted this type of stuff for years with players having ability to read defenses and screen knowing whether to curl, or flare, and now coaches will adjust game plans from game to game? Wow! And super excited post game got redone completely! The crowds looked incredible as well! Super pumped! This 2k dev team has got to be the best in the biz!!!

Not only coaching adjustments, but perhaps different approaches to adjustments in playoffs or big games.

Notice how OG said in the video that Pop may stay with Spurs basic PnR defense in the regular season, but change over after a game one playoff loss. Couple that with the bit in the blog about "intensity" and the game recognizing crunch time or other critical game dynamics.

This also makes me curious to know more about what they mean in the video about "storylines." Do they mean what the blog talks about, where hot players can emerge with more variation game to game, not just stars?

Or does it mean that CPU and maybe even commentary will recognize standings, division rivalries, etc., and that will in turn affect the "living world" of the games and even coaches' approaches to making adjustments? Will coaches even change up game plans if they lost a previous game to a team, trying to adjust?

Really intrigued by that whole "intensity" and "storylines" stuff, and curious as to how far they go.

Wow, this is what I brought up in my 2k movement video. From that Ben McLemore clip it looks like guys will actually run naturally in the open floor (at least I hope). I also noticed that it appears we were correct when that Gamescom vid leaked and we said it looked like Harden didn't miss one step on the fastbreak. It was like every step was accounted for and he didn't even warp when going into the dunk animation and this confirms it. I just hope the new locomotion works as advertised.

Smaller things I noticed:
-OJ Mayo's hair is bananas! It looks like a full head of what Martell Webster had as a mowhawk last year, which I have to say I actually kind of like (just wish it was a little darker and not so greyish). My main man Swaggy P also looks to have a new mohawk (I just wish they could finally give Dwight a fauxhawk instead of that Brock Lesnar cut....
-The body scans done by PGS look freaking incredible, my god. They REALLY bring the models to life I'd say.
-New scans everywhere in this video. The most welcomed and most notable are Mario Chalmers, Chris Bosh(looks great finally), Loul Deng, Giannis, and JR Smith. Unfortunately, it appears Jared Dudley and Dwyane Wade didn't come in for a scan again.

Man, whatever 2k does that manages players facial expressions is amazing...

Definitely, it's a noticeable improvement. I wonder if they still use the people that do the GTA games to do the facial animations.

Btw,you happy your Spurs are finally getting some love lol. LMA putting you guys on the videogame map.

Each team having their own identity his what got my attention the most, followed by the foot planting.

Hopefully this applies to MyCareer too, and we will have our coaches battling it out and making on the fly adjustments without us being in control.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

From that Butler comparison we can see that lighting and jerseys are dramatically improved.

2K is in a league of their own when it comes to Sports gaming. They continue to set the bar. They're never satisfied with where they are even though they've been on top for some time now & it shows. All I can say is wow! Hats off to 2K Sports! You guys are the reason I still get excited about gaming into my 30's. NBA 2K16 will compete for GAME of the year (not just sports game)! I don't think I've ever been more excited for a game to come out!

Just them saying things like "no more getting stuck in animations" and talking about 1000 more animations, full branching points, total control. . . that's huge.

Of course, as excited as I am, I don't expect all that to be 100% true, but even if it's 75% true, that's still a major step forward.

Re: NBA 2K16 Video - Gameplay Enhancements

All sounds good, feel like I say that after every reveal like this though. You guys think any actual player V cpu or player V player videos will turn up before release?

Did they last year? I honestly don't remember. I assume they did at some point.
