have u seen strawberryshortcake's pippen gif? have u seen transition defenders stuck in back pedaling animations? surely you're familiar with defensive legacy issues that are clearly bugs. not trying to be a jackass here, but these issues can be classified as bugs, or simply programming errors by a long shot.

I'd want bad defenders to be represented by being late to cover back cuts, be bad at fighting over screens, be bad at on ball defence etc. Not literally slowly backpeddling while the offence runs passed you and your man is on the other side of the court, or leaving Lebron open to guard someone else in transition.

sam pham is a real one. hopefully these problems are just for legendary teams and not for the current teams.

Sam, please tell me 2k has invited you to their team up events or whatever theyre calling them now and you just decline because you have a hot date or somethin..

If they arent inviting Sam Pham they really arent trying.

Anyway I noticed this too, stands out more with the improvement in the transition offensive spacing.

Is this the "artificial studipity" that was mentioned by Mike (I believe it was him)?

Totally agree with this. And, I too am looking forward to another year of Pham analysis.

I hated how in 2k17 they can't even let you tip off correctly! I've had multiple games where tip off, nobody could jump and get the ball even though we both pressed jump.

Also, I hope they fixed the issue with in bounding. It would take FOREVER for the ref to give you the ball. I have no idea why.

These issues weren't there before except in 2k17.

Love your work Sam but it's too early for this. As others have said, Da_Czar said Day 1 patch will change quite a few things, so you're better off making noise once that happens and you've played the game for yourself.

Definitely continue this series though, i'm sure 2K will listen closely to your feedback.
