Good video, no sound and resolution isnt great but the new movement system is on full display.

Nice gameplay here. Finally John Wall can explode his dribbling and finish strong at the rim. I saw:
Good defense vs P&R
Fluid movements and animations.
Nice drive to the basket without any stuck into the defender

From the above video posted just recently @02:19 mark.

Might not be important to many, but I thought the play calling thing was a nice touch. I'm leaning towards liking it.

Knew they would after reading that LD sent it to the art team.

All the face updates made me optimistic aswell.

Good news.

Brick walling looks gone unless you drive into the middle of the defender with no momentum. That's enormous.

And it shows they have massive faith in their defensive IQ and rotations.

I just saw Gortat meet drivers at the rim. The Wiz help off Randle to block a Ball drive.

And these guys were just screwing around.

It's when the defender slides into position when clearly beaten or doesn't have the angle to stop your drive, Stopping the user completely in his or her tracks.

This game looks LIGHT YEARS better than 2k16 and 2k17. The removal of brick wall defense and the movement makes such a monumental difference.

- Defensive rotations look great
- Havent seen any "suction from a trailing defender" when a player is on the fast break or has a step on the defender
- Seeing very little clipping and players runnimg into one another, bogging offensive sets down

I am going to love this game.
