    Looks super sloppy the way they play.

      The defense & player movement looks really improved but not enough for a $60 dollar purchase.

      Props for the stream though.

        Both guys are holding the shot stick too long...LD2k should know better, or maybe he doesn't play with OKC
        Yeah. They were both playing with bad releases all game long.

        Paint defense is much better. Looks like Westbrook and Harden were able to penetrate at will even in the half court, and only got stopped by strong interior defense. This worries me a little as neither player had to do so much as call for a pick to free their guy up. Still, less of a concern than the "turbo around the perimeter until your defender runs into his own guy and opens up the lane" from last year.

        Spacing was again, very good. Parsons and Lin hung around the perimeter when Harden was handling. Dwight was weak side and Asik high post or vice versa.

        Nobody called plays (or ran them when they were called) so I couldn't tell how the AI dealt with picks or positioning. One of my pet peeves in 2k is the horrible AI logic when you are playing off-ball. I was hoping to see whether the AI does a better job recognizing when they missed their pick and go to the next step of the play instead of standing there like a dummy for ten seconds while the shot clock ticked down.

            Seems like ld2k was dodging a lot of questions by saying "you will have to wait and see"

              Another thing I liked was the noticeable speed acceleration when driving by Westbrook/Durant etc...

                Yes, one of the things I mentioned in the Vegas impressions, speed differential between players is noticeable.

                  The game looks best when two users play on ball and rn plays. All this freelancing and spam stealing and blocking makes the game look sloppy. Defense looks better, but the rockets user was playing awful defense so why should he be bailed out by developers forcing balance?

                    It comes out in a week, this feels like 2k back in the days when it comes to releasing news. Waiting til the last second

                      Hey I'm a big boy, I can handle if the demo is not releasing tomorrow, just let me know. What I cant handle is the question being ignored. I work in the business world and communication is A1. It just makes people mad when questions are asked and you blow over it............Now I know its Not Ld2k's fault but their marketing is sophomoric....

                        Things I noticed

                        - Probably no demo
                        - more assets went to next gen as it seems
                        - defense looks good, rebounding improvement
                        - seems like 2k wants to get current gen promoted then go all out for next gen.
                        - passing seems to be touched

                          everytime LD2K said "stay tuned"/"wait and you'll see" I assumed that was a next-gen only feature.
                          Like sleeved jersey (they would have to totally remake the player model, and I hardly believe they've done it current gen) or new blacktop courts

                            Yeah but rock chiseler unfortunately a lot of 2k fans are sophomoric when it comes to pre release news. Crew, association, sleeves for Pete's sake. People over react to everything and then use powerful weapons like YouTube or twitter to bite into the sales potential for the company. I don't blame them for being hush hush about things.

                              Jeremy Lin is not nearly as good of a shooter as the guy playing with the Rockets thinks he is. Also, why don't these guys know the releases just a tiny bit better. Consistently late releases.

                              Other than that it looks good. A LOT of misses around the rim. NBA players DO miss contested shots in the paint. Glad to see that because it gives me hope for stopping stars on clutch plays. Can't comment on the FG % though b/c these guys just cannot shoot.

                              Movement looks fluid: specifically, the transition from the dribble to a jumper or layup. I also liked the missed alley oop. Haven't seen one of those in a long time.

                              Maybe too many blocks actually, but the guys did take some questionable shots, so they shouldn't be rewarded for that.

                              The only thing I really hated was that lob to Garcia. That has never been is forte that I recall.
