    Dribbling, movement, driving is much better than last year. You definitely have freedom with movement

      How many years has it been for Robertson.. For them to realize he's not that knock down 3 pt shooter.

      That's what I figured.. Westbrook access George doing most of the scoring but Kanter is a pure scorer too, he just disappears sometimes.

      Adams will always be Adams getting tough rebounds.. And easy put back from Westbrook and now George.

      Not a bad starting 5, you whether the storm, wait for the subs.. Then go on a run lol.

      Only good thing for there for Thunder is that Westbrook can play an insane amount of minutes . And George can too.

      Man I was the Celtics in my first 2 games played against Thunder.. Got blown out first one details one lost by 1 can't imagine what cp3 and harden will do to me.
      . Because rockets bomb 3s.. think it will be a bit less now that Cp3 is there.

      Rockets didn't have a true PG now they do, see any adjustments? Have two great players who CAN attack the rim.

          Holy crap this game is good. The controls and physics are so much improved. I didn't think they'd be able to make an improvement like this in one dev cycle. You can actually drive past defenders with ease if they're out of position or in a mismatch. Even with Frank Ntilikina vs Kemba I had a pretty easy time getting past him.

          I haven't been this excited for 2K in years. Going to be playing this consistently from Day 1, haven't been able to say that since probably 2K13.

            Nope. Off ball def coverage on the fly doesnt work either.

              Illegal picks are now in the game. Not sure if they were in last year

                Game is so good I'm not sure where to start. Westbrook is absolutely terrible to play against and it's incredible.

                  The presentation is amazing something different almost every timeout and between quarters, I seen a lady sing the national anthem one pre game, first time seeing that.

                    Another thing I love is that it's easier than ever to get to the paint but way tougher to actually score because defense works this year. Thought that would be an area that would be impossible to get down in a game, but they nailed it.

                      Yes! The woman actually doing the national anthem is a nice touch. I thought I was gonna be down on presenation this year but it's pretty good. There are more stat banners (oddly, still haven't seen free throw percent displayed) displayed thought the game. Before game 1 of round 1 in the playoffs they narrated with a little montage. It even mentioned the specific teams like; "The Miami Heat come into the game looking to silence the doubters as the 7th seed taking on number 2 Boston. Will they be able to win the first chapter? Find out next on 2KSports." or something to that effect with highlights of both teams playing. I've also had KG as a special guest. He's there in addition to the other commentators. I had Kevin, Greg and Doris with KG tagging along. It's a nice little bonus and made the playoff game feel even bigger.

                          Jesus. I may not buy 2k19 because this game feels just about perfect.

                            I envy those who are loving this.

                            For me, I am quite disappointed with many aspects.

                            -The gameplay does not feel that smooth. I'm seeing a lot of frame rate drops. Unless it's just clunky animations.

                            -The lighting is dreadful. It's ok in LA or GS, but go play a game in Phoenix, etc. It's beyond bad. Dull lighting and dull courts with barely any reflection.

                            -Obviously not being able to edit current players bodies anymore. This is almost a deal-breaker for me. Guys don't look how they should/could. Despicable they took this out after years of it being in the game.

                            -CAP. Goes without saying.

                            -They removed Broadcast Generic camera. Again, why?! I have played on that for years with adjusted height/zoom. I cannot recreate that look with the broadcast cameras they have in the game now.

                            I'll give it more time, but overall my hype has died down substantially since yesterday.

                              Whiteside is an absolute monster on the boards. As the Celtics, I traded away Horford and a 1st round lottery pick (2019) and 2nd round pick (2019) and got Whiteside and he's a beast. It's crazy how good he is.

                                Man defense is no joke this year and I love it. I can make a grind it out defensive team and not be worried I'm at a disadvantage, especially since elite defenders are quite noticeably better.

                                Also, whatever they did to the dribble system this year is a godsend. I can actually make dribble drives this year, and I'm not even that great on the sticks.
