For those wondering, full court press or extending pressure is FAR from cheese. IMO it's more of risk this year. Delly and Patrick Bev are also PG's who come off the bench. Delly's full court pressure behavior only ties to him with his Cavs team.

Just the other day I tried to play Delly most of the game with him pressuring the ball and I noticed his shooting take a significant hit.

IMO, I don't think it's beneficial to your or I to put too much time into full court presses or zone defenses. Online players should use them as a change of pace and not think they are getting a Jim Boeheim 2-3.

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

excellent "Sim" call right there!

When I used a 2-3 zone defense, I noticed that a lot of times guys would be out of place and I had to manually put them back. Will that be fixed? I also noticed that a big would post up one of my wings while I'm still in the zone and get stuck in the post animation while another offensive player gets the ball and nails a 3 while the defender is stuck in the post, is that fixed?

The engineer that I work with is a BIG sim head. He's one of the dopest in the industry! He's probably scanning these forum as well. Don't expect any patch to change our philosophy. If you play on the lower levels you can success.

If a user is going for 30 a night, great! I know he's earning every bit of it. It's not going to hurt my feelings. I just want you and I to have a great and authentic experience.

Like I've stated 100 times already... I'm really happy with how far we got in a year. We still have a LONG WAY TO GO to where we want to be. That's the scary part..

You and your team are the Michael Jordan of developers, GOAT! Love the always room for improvement mindset and philosophy even in a year where you all are so proud of the game. Speaks volumes for your passion, drive, and dedication for NBA 2K. We are all the beneficiaries. .

There was not a lot done to the zone defenses this year, fam. We did some adjustment because teams like Dallas will be able to go from man to 2-3 on the first pass. Expect "some" improvements to your issues but some will still up as well. Don't plan to stay in a 2-3 for a significant amount of time versus a good player and win. NBA teams don't do it and you shouldn't either(I'm not assuming you do btw).

Thanks for given us additional feed back OG, just curious how the difficult setting are going to affect the gameplay this year, is there a setting where a lot of these features truly kick in, do we have to play on allstar above before we truly see the beauty in the game ?

Its very scary if you guys have more in mind you want to do. IMO this is the kind of stuff that makes 2k....2K!

I'm sure you also finally discussed not gimping the game via patch as a team so im fully confident this years game will beast!

Hope you guys can hurry and get some rest.

Somebody call September 24th and tell it to HURRY!

That's a tough one. There's adjustments at every level but I recommend playing on all star sim or superstar sim. That's most authentic experience you can get IMO.

Sounds like I need to adjust defensively then, last year I could play 2-3 the entire game. I don't know what's going to stop me from playing 2K16 this year, truly amazing what you guys do and we're greatful for it.

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

It's getting to the stage where I have to really think about where the game can go. 2K15 felt amazing with the way animations and user control blended, but I woulnt say the AI felt 'smart'. If this AI intelligence comes as advertised, that's amazing.

I hope the 2K devs have considered whether this AI will become self-aware and lead to a Skynet judgement day scenario.

I've got 10 years of work we could do. It's all about priorities. We have the talent in the building, that's for sure. I'm really excited on how this has been received and what's to come.

Yep, and it clanged off just like IRL.

I kid, he's a star.
