Re: Simnation are y'all still around?

Good to see we are still around. Great to see some of these usernames again. Excellent idea for this thread Dre. Respect to all. I have a few goodies for yall as always.

Da_Czar, I have to thank you for something about your tutorials videos you may not know : you are VERY UNDERSTABLE for non native english speakers/listeners (as I am).

Man, english talking people dont know how lucky they are on YT/internet

I dont mean I get the SimHangOut talks tho, perhaps in my next life...

Regards,

D.

Re: Simnation are y'all still around?

So how's life fellas

Anyone wanna share their excitement of something they've seen so far they like?


I think its crucial that we as #SimNation speak up about what we do like so they know.

No complaining and arguing in here, this is our thread. Hopefully 24th can sticky it or something.

Re: Simnation are y'all still around?

Still waiting to see/hear more, but thus far I probably noticed the addressed clipping issue (being year 2 of the new motion system) and particularly liked the response from Czar to Will (WTF) on Twitter about addressing his closeout gripe yesterday. Curious what was done, but nice none the less.

Also, on the side, really liking the visuals/player models/muscle definition thus far from most of the revealed screen shots (non game play related, but hey, credit where due).

Just sitting eagerly listening to the sim guys ready to take it all in.

Re: Simnation are y'all still around?

Yeah the clipping was annoying bad last year but it was understood why.

I'm sure they hated it too but that goes to show you in game development it's not as simple as we used to think, but more importantly they figure it out and not leave us with the "it's hard" excuse.

It is hard but there are plenty of areas that shine. That's what I hope we focus on and speak loudly on so our voices are represented to the higher ups more.

Re: Simnation are y'all still around?

Yep, it's been made clear that the implementation of the motion system was a case of "one step back, two steps forward" in terms of the clipping at least. I guess knowing that makes it far more tolerable.

I still play 2K18 and think it is one of the better 2K games out there so definitely nothing game breaking for me personally there.

Keen to hear others thoughts on this particular thread, this is where the good stuff will be I'm sure.

Re: Simnation are y'all still around?

Personally I feel like I like the jumpers better..the feel of it at least compared to 18. That might be a personal preference to some but to me make or miss I just enjoyed the feel of it better.

For me the amount of clipping is one of the reasons why I almost never play actual games anymore only because it frustrates me so much when it looks like I have a clear block or steal and the players arm just goes right through the ball. Still play MyLeague in 2K18 and think it's a pretty good game overall but for me it just felt like clipping happened a little bit too much.

Also glad there is more communication from 2K in terms of letting us know why there were certain issues in the game and happy to see from the people who went to the event that the clipping was mostly gone.

Yep ok - I was more referring the player/player clipping issues.

Not sure if you've seen the Smoove vid, but he gets into a bit of detail about how you still can't swipe at the ball and cause deflections, more so just trigger 2 man animation tussles for the ball. So what you're talking about may still be to come in future 2K games - bearing in mind I'm purely basing this on 1 feedback vid from Smoove.

Re: Simnation are y'all still around?

The first :40 seconds of the ChrisSmoove video recently posted are VERY encouraging. It was great watching him dribble around and try to break down the defense with Lebron.

The OFF-BALL AI defense looks significantly improved. The Warriors were in constant motion defensively, the bigs seemed to rotate to stop Lebrons drive appropriately, Curry and Klay remained active on the wings without rotating to the center of the court and leaving the wing shooters wide-open (borderline game breaker the past two-years).

I was very encouraged with those short clips. Hopefully, Scott OG and Da Czar had the time to completely re-write the computer defensive rotations.. I would love to see some clips of defenders “Helping the helper”.

Last year was a bit of a mess on the defensive side of the ball, both on-ball and off-ball (rotations and helping the drive). I’m excited for this years gameplay blog.

Yeah, we'll have to see for ourselves when the game comes out I guess. If it is still in there, I'll just have to live with it. Like I said, it was only one of the reasons why I pretty much stopped playing but not the main reason. Not just gonna completely quit playing 2K because of it.

It was an early build but 18 right away presented the issue it was worse actually because there was some crazy James brown type sliding that would take the player across the floor.

Early build 19 and that was not apparent so th focus immediately goes to the gameplay.

I had the chance to hate It before you guys did last year, but this time around It didn't feel the same so I was glad.

Those guys just confirmed for I was feeling. It's definitely an improvement and that's something that you can get behind because they worked on it.

Glad you got to play the game early and thanks for letting us know about how the game felt. Definitely trust your judgement more than most of the youtubers who went, no offense to them.

Re: Simnation are y'all still around?

I'm keen to hear thoughts on the visuals. The screenshots being released look good, but haven't heard much from anyone about how the game looks otherwise....

Shake down is always great. I've met and talked with him in person and he's just a genuine good dude. Brian Mazique as well, you can definitely trust those guys.

The other dudes are not for our demographic unfortunately or fortunately, they have an audience too.

Like I said it's important for us simnation players to band together and stop being silent.
