The only thing I didn't like was at the 6:46 mark, Parker made a bounce pass from the top of the key to the paint. Other than that the movement looks very good.

Oh my that was the A.I running that offense? And did I see the cpu take midrange shots ? Please do more !!!! Now this gets me hype , gameplay improvements! Now I'm having that 2k7 , 2k11 feel!

The best thing about the video was the realistic missed shots. Not to mention the AI movement. Still saw some out of context 2k14 style overhead (steal prone) passing though. The only negative, and I hope it's addressed before/after release.

This is awesome. Like another poster pointed out, how is the Freelance offense determined? I.E., is it selectable in a menu, is it tied to certain coaches, etc. Also, does your players awareness tie into it at all. It would be interesting if, say it was selectable, and you attach the Spurs freelance to a team that doesn't necessarily have the ability to run it in real life. Would there then be some stagnation, or some breakdowns, resulting in alot of ineffectiveness?

Also, does each team have their own special form of Freelance? As curious as I am to see what the Bucks run, the ability to change it to the Spurs (if that option is in fact available) may be too tempting to turn down.

I also noticed that the play calling migrated to the D-Pad. I haven't read every little thing that has come out on 2K15, so pardon me if I missed it, but I would like to know the reason for that. Seems that there are now 4 plays per page, instead of 5 as in previous games. Is that going to result in less plays to choose from to run in-game? Also, all of the plays to choose from for Russ were PNRs. Is that because that's all you assigned to him for this particular presentation?

Whatever the case, great video again. It's always like Christmas Morning seeing that Czar dropped a new video. He ALWAYS comes correct. Looking forward to more.

If every team runs a realistic freelance offense I will be in heaven. In previous years I was weary of relying on calling plays because if the play did not go as designed then it would be a waste of shot clock and I'd be stuck in a stagnant offense hoping to get off a good shot.

If the freelance system works as I understand it players and teams should be able to get create openings allowing for good shots without having to call a play. I've been dying for players to actually move on offense instead of standing motionless for the majority of a possession.
