This reminds of NBA 2k13 with Double Team and Help D coach sliders...
But is there any difference between 98 and 100?

Since 2k lazy to improve Draft classes
They could at least give us 100 saves slots
So we could have many years of created Draft classes🤦

I would like for the rosters to save the assigned plays too. Would be really helpful.

You can save playbooks as a separate file to attach to a roster, I think

Man this game. This is all offline based.

I know 10 out of 10 means a perfect game and it's not, but if the game didn't have bugs and everything worked as you can tell they were intended, it's a 10 out of 10 for me. Even with predatory VC which I hate.

Rhythm shooting is the perfect mix of challenging but not too hard. It's harder than just meter shooting but easier than the time they tried to add a timing meter with an aim meter. It's really a perfect balance.

Also the new "go to shot" mechanic is so great. I love making these shots lol.

Defence is actually fun to play. The new defensive controls actually give me a chance to play on ball but stars are still a major problem which they should be.

All the new pro play stuff they've added has really kicked the game into crazy new levels of authenticity.

The biggest reason this is a 10 though is the new dribble system and overall responsiveness. Dribbling in past 2k games has always been a little Mortal Kombatish for me. Basically I'm hammering sticks and buttons with a general idea of what was gonna happen but often reality and what I thought wouldn't match up. I've gone through the "learn 2k" about 5 times and for the first time I actually feel like I have a complete understanding of what I'm trying to do. Pair that with the responsiveness of everything and I feel in control.

I liked NBA Live. The graphics were inferior, the modes were shallow, animations paled in comparison, to be honest almost everything about it lagged far behind 2k. But the one area it was far better in was control and responsiveness. 2k is finally where I felt live had excelled at.

MyGM is back and amazing, myNBA is it's usual greatness. Eras is unmatched In awesomeness in all sports gaming. Tack on loving the WNBA and I'm in basketball heaven.

Sounds like online might have some warts but I've got so much to do offline I'm not sure I'll even get much into online this year.
