Yeah the dunk (melo) and jumpshots from Czars blog.

Oh god I had the volume off....can't they at least lower the sound a bit when the ball hits the rim?

I'm going to say that this is an early build. Optimism! If not it's another thread about sound.....cripes didn't OS write about this to? [emoji36]

I wrote about it January of 2014

OS just recently did when I mentioned to Steve, but too late in the cycle man

I don't think those sounds have been touched at all. It's like a dinosaur at this point that needs to change

Once you change the look, feel and sound of 2k then you have a completely new game.

They've changed about 2 of 3 so far.

Yeah passing or rather great passing can kill a press but im not sure if your teammates stay near in this situation...maybe so

Also call a timeout lol

... Last year you couldn't call for a pick backcourt, but it would be nice if that was in..but a guy being over aggressive on defense can definitely be hurt if he's not paying attention to picks and passes

WOW I never thought about those tactics..sounds good if we could blindside the defender.

The fact that they can tune online and offline separate is vitally important. Online, the onslaught of complaining may eventually get them to cave, but offline should be good to go.

I hope you are correct but even offline has a lot of casuals who youtube vine and twich... we'll see if 2K can stand strong with sim-insiders strong.

You guys all acting like it's heaven and all I can think about is the cheese. Fullcourt press cheese all day online lol.

Scott OG said in the SimNation Hangout that fatigue will play more of an important roll this year and that those full court pressing will become tired faster. This is one of the first low hanging cheese fruits I'd suspected they looked at because it is so obvious everyone will try it immediately.

I like the use of screens in the back court though myself and anti press offense.

A team should be punished for overdoing it besides just getting tired

I'm going straight for the best defender in teamup every time

I don't think it should tie to turbo. I say the opposite. Turbo gets abused and this is a precision action in RL. Turbo is more "reckless" per se. I agree with the rest.

I was reminded of the old push ahead dribble so turbo seemed a possible choice. I agree that the timing should be important so I kind of envisioned that it would be a squeeze of the turbo at the right moment like a dribble launch, rather than holding it down and barreling through.

Someone smashing down the turbo will never get it, which is fine by me, but there's no reason it can't also be tied to the pro-stick as a throw between the defenders.

Now THAT sounds like a concept I can get behind.

Now THAT sounds like a concept I can get behind.

The only difficulty here is that it might not work for people who play absolute-- but maybe it's not that bad if we enter the realm of context sensitive pro-stick modes. I think pro-stick directional passing functions on relative even on absolute settings. But it may be confusing for pro-stick to function in absolute but in relative when sandwiched in a P&R configuration where a throw backwards from the player is an escape step back but it normally is down. I guess having it mapped to a throw upwards in absolute in a pick and roll would make sense but it takes the precision directional control aspect out of things.

I do consider it pretty important given the progressively smarter AI defense, and it's one of the solutions my favorite player uses to counter what the league and this game now throws at him.

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

I dont play online but honestly there is nothing bad about having defense in the game. Its been a long time coming

There are ways to beat full court presses. That's why NBA teams don't always do it

and on top of that they can tune things in the online game in updates

I'll second this. Not worried at all about "fullcourt cheese". I think it is in place simply to slow down a ball handle and I think the team at 2K have enough awareness to know the risks of such a mechanic and not implement if it's an easy exploit (based on the rest of this blog and the fact OG is behind it)..... my opinion.

I really love that the defense has been overhauled..I just hope theres a sense of "balance" in gameplay...

this may be the first year that the defensive options maybe more advanced than the offense.

Have to agree on that there might be some epic defensive struggles going on which is going to be a good thing. I have a feeling the defense will be creating T.O.'s but if you know how to swing the ball and play to the strengths of your team you will be ok. I think this will be the first time in a long time where the BBall IQ and stick skills will be on par with the what you can get away with on offense.

I have a feeling online will be on 2K11 level probably even better.

This might be a stupid question but.... Why is everyone so excited for the Jordan rules? Plus how will they be implemented if Jordan isn't on court? Are they excited for the bulls pistons 90s re-enactment?
