    Which the NBA played for decades before overreacting to the 1999 lockout.

    That said, I highly doubt handchecking will ever come back to 2K. The series debuted in 1999, right when the NBA removed it--the current weak defense is too ingrained in the engine and code. So I don't blame 2K Sports.

    Defensive three seconds, though...man, I hope we can turn that off, or have that rule change be proposed between seasons. It'll actually make the midrange shot somewhat viable again.
    Lol real defense. If you say so. Real defense led to awful basketball during the 90s.

    The game is much better for getting rid of those rules. Give me ball movement and cutting over dump and wait basketball.

        Enough of it and it's the typical "My era will always be better" type article.

        Completely ignoring the fact that league average points per game didn't change from the last 4 years with hand check and the 4 years after even with the faster pace.

        Anyways, the real problem is calling the 90s "real defense". Today they play "real defense" just like they played "real defense" in the 90s.

        But we can take this out of the thread otherwise I'll be done.

          I think the most interesting presentation feature is the audio specific to each arena. Really curious to see how big of a difference there is.

                I have always wanted multiple commentary teams in a sports game. Just when you think the 2k team can do no more than the excellence they have shown over the years, yet they prove us wrong time after time.

                  I'll be cheering for them.

                  I already got into a verbal shouting match against one of my co-workers because I was playing as my Lakers & he was using the Warriors. So there's that.

                    I mean in the area sounds. That "LET'S GO LAKERS" would make the immersion amazing.

                      LD is arena specific lighting a thing or nah ? Because we heard about that a few days ago and now nobody's talking about it anymore. Was it ever a thing or the guy writing the hand's on preview just 'made it up' ?

                            Wow. My wishes have been exhausted (ah probably not the right word). That's sweet man.

                              But did they fix that 4th quarter crowd though or nah?

                                Can't wait!

                                And since I have your ear....can you pleeease, make sure the Bucks court is correct this year? This was last year, and what it really looks like.

                                Thank you...
