Nice read.

We asked they speak on defense/movement after the last blog.

They spoke on it.

I'll wait and see how this all plays out.

I like the idea of resistance triggers tied to stamina, I have always wanted something like that, I hope it is also represented in the speed of players on the court Bron little to no resistance, Gobert lots of resistance.


And for the life of me, I don't know why they don't use the swipe function on the touch pad to assign some plays or sets and you can just swipe left, right, up or down to immediately go into that play or set.

I’m liking all of the gameplay stuff coming out first.

I’m liking all of the “little things” in gameplay they are showing.

Sometimes a lot of little things can add up to big changes.

I’m excited.

So a long blog just to show us new Can animations that are* going to make us lose control of our players... Nothing New here.

Never a lack of optimism here!

This might be the most hyped I've been since NBA 2k on Dreamcast.

Not excited at all.

Graphics are even worse than i thought after the first trailer.
Definitly not next gen level. You can see that a lot of CFs of current gen are reused.

You can also clearly see that sliding is still there despite excuse like "Sliding in basketball is no good. But it’s something we’ve had to live with in the past because of limitations in technology"
2k14/15/16 dont have this big issue which appeared in fact with the new motion engine.

Everything isnt bad, those new animations movements look better, and "less canned interactions and doing a better job of respecting user control" sounds better too

but it's not the big step i expected for the next gen.

I keep seeing people say "this isn't next gen level" but I have yet to see another next-gen game that hands down looks better. In fact I'd say this is one of the best looking next-gen games we've seen thus far. I think some people have set their next-gen expectations too high. Maybe the Unreal 5 tech demo caused people to expect that level of graphics for next-gen.

This looks and sounds like a promising start to the new generation. It seems like they are focused on important areas and I think the visuals are looking really good so far. And perhaps best of all is this sounds like it'll be a fully featured game and not a bare bones release like we've seen from previous next-gen launch sports titles.

Yeah people expected to be controlling real humans on a screen by now. Anything less is simply "current gen" in their eyes. Smh

Agree 100%. From what I have read and seen this looks like it will feel like a different game. The last 3 games have bored me pretty quick because the fell is so similar.

To each their own but I cant understand how anyone could interpret this as not at least sounding great.

I can fathom the skepticism as we've all seen underdelivered promises but at face value this is all a massive upgrade.


Graphically speaking everyone was told for months it would be the little details, lighting etc that would be better so anyone thinking there would be a mind blowing difference either wasnt listening or has way too high of expectations. personally when looking at the little things on what we've been shown it looks a lot better than what I was expecting.

lastly I'm so glad I preordered a PS5. I was second guessing myself a bit and when they cost $700 cad I think its natural to worry if I made the right decision. That part about the triggers and haptic feedback solidifies that I made the right decision and I cant wait to play this thing.

Basically. I find it so annoying when people make this comment. Sometimes I just want to scream "How do you know what next-gen supposed to look like? Are you a game developer?". As long I can see some improvements, then I'm good. ESPECIALLY when it's a launch title for a new console. If it still looks the same 2-3 years from now, then that might be a new conversation.
