Get the prelude man.

Not into college ball or MyCareer. I can wait for the official release.

But you're saying it's not a day one purchase for you and you need to test the controls. What better way to test than with the Prelude since it's free. I'm not much of a college ball fan either but I want to see how the game feels.

I already don't enjoy college ball or MyCareer. I wouldn't want that to influence how I feel about the controls. I can wait.

Hey Mike, noticed that on one of the gameplay :



Any chance of that being fixed at some point this year ? Player models should have the priority over the circle under the players. Doesn't look right to me.

Used to be like that :



Edit apparently it's the shot meter that goes through player bodies. Was this on purpose ?

Are the triple threat and jab steps gonna be effective this year? I just felt like years past it never really seemed to work the way it does in reality.

Mike, in 2K15 we were able to rotate our player while editing their jumpshots. It made is so much easier because we could see how the base and forms look from the side and back, as well as the front.

Can you tell us why it was taken out last year, and still again this year?

There's a huge community that uses this feature to get all NBA players' shots down perfect. It's a pretty huge part of the game.

So I'm just curious why it was taken away.

I was noticing that more and more in the gameplay videos. I might end up turning it off completely.

Can the actual circle be turned off? I know in 2K16 it can't be.

It's not the actual circle that glitches through players it's the shot meter and shot meter feedback that stays on for a while after you shoot. If you turn off the meter you won't have the issue. I think they may have done it on purpose so you see the shot meter at all time. Looks ugly though.

This wasn't fixed??? Oh man......

Nope, major bummer. No idea why it was even taken out. Makes things so much harder for those who edit all these jumpers.

I hope The Prelude is an earlier edition but if not the CPU speed still an issue.

I hit turbo and the CPU players are instantly sprinting before I accelerate, also seeing bigmen sprinting past much faster players.

I also see the CPU cheese that makes the user crossover to slow you down to allow the CPU defender to catch up to play defense.
