Looks and sounds good, I'm excited to play on the 10th.

One thing though. With knowing where the rebound is going to go makes the game feel scripted. Which 2k has an issue with already. Not too big of a fan for that badge.

Nice blog overall!

Would have loved to hear some details on the transition defense fix besides "improved"

Its been really bad for a long time now.

I'm def more excited about this before the blogs started however I'll wait and see what the next few weeks hold. They have a uphill battle with me buying day 1 since the updated rosters wont be ready till December or so.

I imagine in the very least we'll get a MyLeague/MyGM blog and a "2K World" or whatever they call it reveal video

Every year this stuff sounds great but there isn't any video to demonstrate what they are trying to sell. I'll wait for the live gameplay.

Honestly, I haven’t been this excited reading blogs like this since NCAA 14 back in the day. Not to start anything off topic but pretty sad state we’ve been in as sports gamers because that used to be a yearly thing. Hopefully 2k can keep this going in all their sports they have planned. I can’t wait to see the myleague blog!

Some of those shooting badges, plus the added customization, scares me for what the MyCareer players might look like but we'll see. I love the idea of being able to build our guys without pies while still having limits on the physical stats and stuff, but seems ripe to be abused as well. Also, just for me, I'm not even sure I'll deviate much if at all from what I built with my pie this year. Never been happier with how my build plays this year. Some of the AI changes sound great; particularly the end of game/shot clock and transition stuff would be huge if implemented correctly.

As always, there will be those kids who play 2k for 20 hours a day and have demi-gods. Not sure if there's a true middle ground here, but I always feel the more control we have, the better.

I'm at least happy that it won't be the true demi-gods where people were building 7 footers with 90+ speed and 3 balls and ball-handling but there's definitely potential for abuse even if it isn't to that extent
