If your looking for control the other NBA game is where you should be looking. Control is something they've always pride themselves on at EA, thats actually why the game looks so robotic at times cause you can break out of anything at anytime.

I honestly thought Lebron would've done multiple covers.....

The game looks robotic because it is robotic and stiff, no animations and frankly EA never gave a crap about making their models move like humans. It wasn't that bad on the PS2/xbox. Frankly the controls are worse than what they were in the past and there are so many people contradicting what they want on these forums im not sure if people know what the heck they want anymore.

Let's not start over exxaggerating what's going on here. The game might have alot of animations but that doesn't mean you can't control anything. I think there are things they need to really fix, add some RT physics, remove some things but I rarely say "dang I played a whole game and the entire time I didn't control not one move".


You guys with the hyperbole man, its gotten old as heck.


Anyway, KD is popular right now, and I have no idea how they choose who's to represent but I wonder if there will be some kind of Durant mode or something

One thing to note: Durant is an avid 2K baller. The guy plays all the time and he's on record stating he absolutely loves the game. I'm sure he will definitely have his opinions on how to improve or make the game more immersive. Now, if the dev team works that in is another story.

Funny thing is as bad as people talk about this game, I see alot of pro players playing this game and posting stuff about it all of the time. Claiming its not real and how terrible it is yet these guys are always playing and referencing the game.

KD complains about how they get his face wrong though

2K is historically a wonderful basketball series. But for the sake of discussion, I do not believe a pro player's video game preference always speaks directly to a game's quality in every regard. I think it means it's the basketball game to have these days. But then, Madden has been the football game for years just as well. Through the good years and the bad, there's always been a bevy of professional football players who have been playing and loving it.

In fact, I feel as though it took 2K years to break through with the mainstream audience, despite providing what I always viewed to be a superior simulation product. It seemed NBA players were all about NBA Live, nearly up until its implosion. Before Live, Shaquille O'Neal was bringing the entire NBA Jam arcade machine with him on road trips. So again, I think NBA players are probably similar to a lot of us - some are looking for realism, some are kids who grew up to be professional ballplayers who are just looking to play what's easy and hot, and some are a mix of everything.
