Solid gameplay but it reinforces my concerns re: the excessive reaching. There were simply too many on-ball steals. The Prelude saw alot of reaching fouls called--but that was User-CPU gameplay. Like 2K often does to reward User Agency, they lower player risk for actions...which only ends up rewarding spam for the savvy user. In this case the steal attempts...its leading me to believe it has to be better balanced and have a better ratio of fouls to actual successful "rips".

History tells us users will spam steal if the risk isn't commensurate with the reward.

There were only 3 onball steals in the whole game. Looks like guys are dribbling right in the defenders face and deserved to get ripped. Escape and protect dribbles still seem to work. I like the videos so far from a steal's perspective. Guys shouldnt be able to stand still cross over 2 and 3 times right in my face without the chance of getting ripped. But thats just my feeling. He reached on the end against bron and got left in the dirt.

Issue there is the game doesn't often differentiate "safe" and "risky" dribbling in a H2H setting. Its an early impression tho, I hope i'm wrong.



Thats me getting ripped in protect ball last year.

You exposed the ball to the opponent. Not much protecting the ball, imo.

why on earth don't they fix the lighting? That's really getting old! Come on 2k! Is lighting really hard to fix? Anyway, overall, i like what I see on the court.
