Any particular favorite from this blog?

I mean if i had to pick one i would have to be honest and say i cant...honestly...these improvements collectively means so much to me that trying to pick one is very difficult
This Year's dev cycle is BULLYING



Those guys were on to something VC....they were on to something damn it....Like my grand dad used to say "Its not the horse that leaves the gate first always wins..."

As i read that blog over and over its like all am seeing is like OG keep swinging and swinging and swinging....i bet right now they were thinking they should have did a sign and trade instead of letting you go to the free agency....lol job well done guys what a great crew over at VC that keeps getting great additional talent......

My favorites are the following:

1. The Coach's defensive tendencies are anchored to themselves and will travel with the coach if (s)he goes to a new team.
2. The defensive use of ACE is more advanced than that of offense
3. The threat assessment is based on much more than just total point production.

Just as Da_Czar has taken offense under his wing, I felt for the first time someone on the 2K development team stepped up and has taken defense under their wing. I know there are a lot of people working on all aspects of both but in my mind's eye, you are the defense's champion and I've felt for years a need for someone to take this role.

Edit: guys, please put your GIFFS in spoiler tags. Thanks.

If I had to say one thing it is ACE. The fact that the coaches are adapting to what you are doing and it varies from regular season than post season that is crazy. Really it is the combination of ACE and team specific defense because I felt that was really missing from 2K15 on how you and the CPU defend the pick and roll compared to what teams actually do.

In that Clippers Vids from Scott where Deandre comes First and then Blake is coming for that Pick i dont like how they Roll Up to the Basket.

I know this is an Offensive theme but i saw that here in Scotts Blog.
Everytime when a Big Men comes to set a Screen they run headless to the Basket, like they are on a 100m Sprint.

For example my Opponent hedges high on screens like Miami Heat does in big3era You have in real life no Chance and Give the Ball away like Curry does often in the Finals to Green (he Should create) but when my Player Runs to the Basket, without to wait 10 feet of the Basket...... its annoying

In this 2k15 everytime i get steal from the Help Defender 90% of the Time, because the Help Defender gets a Speed Burst on that Animation such is BS.

I Hope that the Rolling Big Men had IQ

This is what some of us were talking about to you non-believers about letting this group get a full cycle together. This is still just the beginning for this group man. Just imagine what you know they're already looking at trying to do for 2K17.....

I see man . I always knew the offense / my career/ my league would improve .I admit I really doubted the defense would ever get to this level .

Love the "best defensive matchup" (Butler/LeBron) aspect coming in.

And then it's a CLOSE 2nd with how each player is pick and roll defended differently..... (Livingston/Curry examples).

Again, amazing job OG.

I wonder how this will effect the game. Very few of you can play effective on ball defense. 90 percent of you play off ball defense. So cup D will now help you more than ever. I like having that advantage on my opponent. I hope it mAkes the 10 presenters more formidable.

I wonder where you get your numbers...

As a hardcore simulation style player, what you guys did to this game is UNBELIEVABLE. its like a BREATH OF FRESH AIR. a new experience, that brings life to this game. Sorry I'm a passionate person who love sports gaming.

Besides the defense, what stand out is how it teaches you to play the game. With the new arrow indicator, to the vibrating control on offense and defense..I know everything is not perfect but Y'ALL did better then what we expected, WOW!!

This was explained in the podcast. Bigs now understand where they need to go off the pick, and they read the defense and react to it.

I guess the only concern I have is " Double teams as a whole are much stronger this year."

I agree that double teams should be tough to do certain things against, but last year passing to the wide open man from a double team that wasn't quite there was way too erratic. If you are late on the pass it should be less accurate, but if you pass at what would be the right time in real life, you shouldn't throw it in the first row... (from point to wing)

Wing to wing is completely understandable!

Can't wait to play, So many great improvements this year!

Oh my goodness. The defense is what has me the most excited. Haven't been this hype since 2K11 I think when MJ was on the cover for the first time. I played the heck out of that game because the D was so freaking good.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Blog Wth Scott O'Gallagher

Czar I have to ask about new coaches in modes or players that turn into coaches. Do they adopt what coaches they are under do in terms of adjustments and playsets? Or are they all the same?

For example if I hire and free agent coach named Jeff Anderson. Does he have his own philosophy that is based on a coach that is already active in the NBA? And if lets say Andre Miller decides to be a coach does he adopt Flip Saunders philosophy?

I believe this only applies to defense, not offense this year. I think those philosophies are tied to the team itself not necessarily the coach.
