After reading all these question, I wonder if the thread starter should have preface his request about what he can and can not ask about.

It's hands-on gameplay. He doesn't have to ask anything, he's gonna play the game lol.

1. How's interior passing? And in general how do passes feel? Do they have a lot of "zip" to them or do they feel a little "floaty".

2. In the quick plays how do you navigate? Same as last year?

3. Any change to rebounding/loose ball physics?

4. I know it's not gameplay but I'll shoot my shot anyway... different body types for created players(fat, skinny etc)??

-I want to know if over-the-shoulder catches on cuts and rolls to the rim are still allowed. They make offense over powered.

- do defenders chase around off-ball screens with more urgency

- do loose balls still 65/35 go to the offense?

- is on ball defense still collision filled and unrealistic? Can you create space for a shot on a cpu defender

- is making contested shots with scorers viable in small doses?

- at very close range on shots where you're moving does the game still give you animations that force you to the rim instead of respecting your original direction? ( severely restricted 'craftiness' in '17)

- has the triple threat been expanded and made more explosive ? Are step-backs a bit more explosive?

- have standing dunks been toned down

- does the defense position itself better on the interior to prevent easy buckets? I.e not letting the offensive player wander into the restricted area without contact.

- are lay-ups more athletic? ( higher elevation, double clutches, up and under)

- is timing on rebounds stricter or will it still float you to the area and ball if early?

1. Are standing dunks still OP?

2. Do we need to take up an inordinate amount of space to be successful at dribbling, or do small precise movements and get a step on a defender

3. Are more fouls called on aggressive contests on jumpshots? To many people rely on aggressive late contests (zone) which end up tackling the shooter with no penalty.

Offensive:

2K17 it seemed like half the time I started a drive my ball handler would just drop the ball for a turnover for no reason if anyone was withing 5 feet of him. Has this been addressed?

Can you split double teams as a ball handler?

How is ball handler driving? Can I take advantage of a good quick ball handler getting matched vs a slower bigger man

Has there been any work done to improve low post game?

Have there been changes/improvements to shot mechanics and timing?

Defensive:

Have they addressed the "Auto Fouls" when a user controlled defender would automatically try to strip the ball on an opponent drive?

Do defenders feel more natural and realistic when moving side to side? (i.e. not always able to perfectly stay in front of ball handler, seemed to be a big issue for me this year)

General:

Has there been a decrease in suctioning (both offensive and defensive).

How does jostling/bumping feel?

[B]1. Are standing dunks still OP?

This is a good one. I completely forgot about this. Standing dunks really need to be toned down this year.

Mike Wang tweeted months ago that they've made strides in the dribble/ drive game in terms of resistance from sticky defenders.

Did you notice anything significantly different when penetrating with players? And if possible, further elaboration on this point by Mike?

Please and thank you in advance.

You are forgetting this sticky little thing called an "embargo/NDA" there may be parts of the game he can not talk about, even if he gets access.

This was the most Tweeted question to me last year. Some others have asked about create a player, so I'll see what I can (hair)do.

Do you know when you'll be allowed to talk about what you've seen or is there an embargo?
