Yeah, but they still look way, way better than last year. I'd rather have some players look a little off (the same way some were too bulky in 2K16) than that terrible skinny body type in 2K17 which just looked grotesque.

I wish they'd start letting Mike and someone else play. I've never seen Mike play once.

I haven't watch the video yet but from previous live stream from these guys they never run a play. I don't understand why people are upset when they don't want to give anybody any advantage of showing their game. Granted, they work for 2K and you think they would have couple of hints to show the community and users how the gameplay is. It is what it is. I'll wait until Friday to get my copy and practice.

I've just noticed something. What the hell happened to Tom Thibodeau (14:53)?! I thought they already had a decent model in place in 2K16...it's really strange.

1. Offensive rebounds still a problem. I think ball had 4 or 5 in the first quarter.
2. He said the spin was almost impossible last year,,??? It was an OP cheese, as it appears to be again.
3. More bad shots go in than wide open,. Slightly late/early ,, again and it's on superstar. 😑
4. Cpu logic on transition appears to be completely broken as a few guys pointed out last week.
5. The Ball just drops in the paint regardless handler or defenders,, again.. And can be seen in almost any video that's out there. Smh.
6. Maybe it's time to just eliminate the keep game close logic, maybe that's what's making all this mess happen and has been for a while now,even does it in pro am and park FFS
7. Of course they aren't going to touch the attribute issue until they rack up that initial vc from this super shady practice.
8. Ea please keep improving nba live because competition is good.

As they pointed out on the stream it is hard to play and talk at the same time.

I don't presume to speak for LD2K or Ronnie2K but if I had to present the game on a stream while playing, I'd probably find it really hard to run a smart offense through plays while telling people about the game.

While I'd love to watch a stream of two basketball heads just playing, I still felt relieved to watch this stream and at least seeing guys who know their personnel and play something approximating real basketball.

It sure beats most of the other gameplay videos out to this point.

Don't worry Ronnie has a patch released for the stream. Kidding I agree but they didn't really interact with anyone but themselves..

Would have been more fun to watch them just play their way and trash each other.

If you held the camera horizontal, it was so blurry camera was so far back.. Almost unwatchable.

To see it clearer, you had to watch it vertically, which gives you about 2 inches of screen using your phone. You couldn't tell the difference between a big man and a small man.

Just like their huge NY event.. Went from 6-7k people watching to about 2k (no pun).

All valid points. Perhaps it would be best if someone else from 2K played a game, while they'd just comment and say what they want to say, hell CPU vs. CPU would be better to really showcase the game and they way it flows.

I just don't think it's a good look for them or the game really. The whining, comments like "that's not realistic" "no way" (followed by LD taking 100 shots with Lonzo Ball, because he's excited I guess) and LD: "[Crawford] is a bad man" Ronnie: "Well he just missed an open three".

I know it's just banter, not really a big deal or anything but I kinda think it plays to the mentality of many players (e.g. player A missed an open three = the game is broken) and it's just frustrating.
