Bulls in their playoff black gear.

Really trying to feel more comfortable with Jordan's pull ups, but they're not as smooth as last year sadly.

Still, I haven't put this game down since release day. Loving it.

Should have been a fadeaway but the AI decided to go with a sweeping hook for some reason. It's to do with proximity to the basket - it's a little different to 2k15.

Michael Jordan would never do such a move in a situation like that. Awful.

I know. As I said, I was inputting for a fadeaway, but 2k decided to take away that option and go into this weird shot animation instead.

Oh well. Game isn't perfect, but I love it none the less.

The beauty of a good basketball game lies also in its flaws.

Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

i remember the first time i made a hook shot it was in 2k12!
in nba 2k game we have to remember a list of moov that will be broken!
for example during a long time i often made a hook shot for Longley behind the board. each time i didn't understand why he didn't shot in the other direction. it is the same thing.

In 2k12 i havn't done the hook shot with Jordan since a long time because i'm just so horrified by this hook shot that i know excatly if he will do it or no!

Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

jordan was known for a hook shot every now and then... pretty rare though. not one of the ones from the vid that you guys are talking about though, lol. he'd be pretty much under the basket when he'd go for one.

That much is true. He definitely had it in his repertoire.

Just a heads up for any of you retro roster editor guys - they didn't say anything that I saw of in the patch notes, but they've fixed the signature dribble moves and we now have full access to edit/modify all four instead of just one.

I am stoked at this, can finally give the classics some dribble moves outside of the generic dribble escapes they all had!!

This game went down to the wire! Bailed out by Pippen, then Jordan took over in OT!

I must say I am enjoying this 08 Celtics team quite a lot online. The last patch really favors them now that threes are turned up a bit I can really destroy people with Ray and Pierce if they leave them for a second.

Tmac on the Rockets, aside from his lack of signature dribbles, plays better than most retro stars.

since you mentioned, do you guys think that the ,modern teams and players are better programmed than the retro teams and players?

Re: Will MJ actually look like MJ this year?

Funny game!!
It was funny when you draw the foul in the end of the 4th quarter, the last foul for Jordan because it is not a great action and the crowd is just crazy.
I knew for Nick at the end of the 4th quarter. Great! (Shaq dance was less great!)

You miss some triangle offense but it is really good right now.
For example at 30 min 25 51/52 for the Lakers there is a good triangle and you can pass to Jordan. But Pippen scored a 3 pt so it is good too. Or you miss a blind pig between Pippen and Jordan at 26 min 53.
And when you score a 3 pt with buechler or kerr it is good but it is not totally after a great triangle (i suppose the level is pro but now i play pro too because it is so perfect for the ia).

At the end you are lucky Jordan recovered the ball on the inbound pass.

I want to see the same game at united center now!!! (With the 12 of course).
