Just a FYI: Da_Czar said he specifically put plays named .03 second plays or sumsuch which were meant to address the inbounds and late-clock timeout plays.

My suggestion would be to purposefully try these in 2K16 and then write a specific critique about these types of plays so he can get valid feedback for next year.

Our hope would be that these are enough to address the situation but they might need tweaking during the year. These plays should be tweakable without the need of patches.

LD2K took those shots because OSers told him to chuck it with Kobe and see if it mattered, as shown below. Haven't watched the stream, but it seemed like it did. Go look in the thread 23 created that discussed this stream.

Exactly. I have to give LD2K credit here, he really tried to show that even casuals like Ronnie will be able to beat cheesheads this year.

LD2K really tried to show us stuff we asked to see in this Stream. Kudos to him/

I'm really feeling the player movement this year. This presentation package is insane, too. I love the videos playing on the court before tipoff. I wanted TNT before but I think I'll be fine with the "2K Sports Network" if they continue to push the envelop the way they are. They have sit down player interviews for goodness sake!

Good point. It is hard to really get a feel for a game, especially a sports game, when it is user vs user. It comes down to play style. You can get two "sim" players to play the game, hell they could play 2k15 or 2k14, and make the game look realistic.

Luckily most of us will have the game in our hands Either by midnight tonight or tomorrow so we can make our own impressions or at least read the impressions from those that do own the game.

Agreed 100%. If 2K wants to truly showcase their game from a marketing standpoint, let these two play. Theres 59 videos out there of people playing the way Ronnie and Chris play (to be fair, mostly much worse) but most of us here at OS want to see the game played the right way at least once.

ALSO, for those of you that care about these things like I do, notice that 2K did indeed fix the layering issue when it comes to socks over compression sleeves. Yay! Lol

A few things - 30FPS doesn't do the game justice.

Second, I was trying to show off and discuss things all game. Once this game drops, I'll live-stream and be laser focused on #winning.

That said, hope It showed off some things you guys were looking for.
