Now we just need microsoft to fix quick resume for 2k.

Agreed on quick resume. But is that a Microsoft thing or does 2K need to patch it in order to support it?

Questions:


1) Is the help defense by the CPU improved?
2) Is the shooting just one full animation no matter when you release the button or is the release of the shot user controlled?

Was skeptical watching people play the game before the xbox dropped so i was scared. This game is everything I wanted in a 2k plus more. The movement is great I don’t see sliding whatsoever and some of the little nuisances people got away with in the last gen they can’t do in this one. One of the BIGGEST upgrades to me is that I feel the court and body of players are more proportional! I feel like the court is much bigger and now spacing is what it should’ve been the last several years. My one only complaint I would say is that I wish the crowd was more involved. More interactive crowds, when the defense chants is going on I notice the crowd just sitting down not moving it kind of takes me out of the immersive euphoria I was in when playing other than that this is an easy 10/10

Going to give my full impressions soon but as a random note- man I thought we were done with these sleeved blacktop jerseys, lol

NBA players wear their warm-ups but legends still have them.

I'll say this much..after 3 games of 11 min quarters...this game felt fair and fun! The fact that I was able to draw 2 chargers against Blake Griffin with Lowry felt sooo good! Movement on D was good as well, I felt in control of my player which is HUGE!

So far I'm really impressed with Next Gen.

*Also* I dunno if it's my new Dolby Atmos soundbar but the arena was ALIVE with NBA sounds. When I closed my eyes I felt like I was courtside.

How do I actually download my ps5 mamba version? Looks like I'm just installing ps4 again?

Edit nevermind lol

Yep. I was on the same boat. 2k had lost all goodwill with me and I was ready to trash them. But, this game right here is excellent. Is not perfect, but it is a brand new game.

For that reason you gonna have to switch more. Staying in catch hedge all game gonna get you burnt.

Brother! Please tell me they fixed the replay system lol
