Pared, the bottom pic is 2K9. And we all know 2K9 had very bad court spacing/player size.

For 2K10 they scaled it much better:

We got a ton of feedback about players being scaled inaccurately last year. Well, we made it a priority to have the players be better scaled to the court. You will notice that they seem more life-size compared to their surroundings and each other. This has improved the look of the gameplay, since now game reactions are more realistic.

The video, according to him, is NOT on sim mode:

The Gamescon demo is set as default gamesim. I have been trying to capture some footage for you all the past couple days at sim level. BTW when I said "gamesim" earlier, I obviously meant gamestyle.

Bears, I'm using it as an example of depth perception. Actually that is 2k10 PC.

Co-sign. I know Phil Jax has been wanting the league to expand the dimensions of the court for years since players are getting bigger and bigger.

Uh, you know broadcast camera dimensions are squished right? ever been to an ACTUAL game?

Which is why recovery/closeouts is the bigger issue. We didn't see a J in the vid in this thread so there's still hope.

Thanks, Pared. That's a little more refreshing to hear.

This doesn't look good.

- Passes, still same odd ones i hate the passes in this game.
- Dribbling, a bit better but still, something wrong with it.
- Haywood's running through and dunking, no way realistic, and i'm sure we'll see lots are capable of doing this.
- Cuts to the basket and here we go, no defense whatsoever, where is interior d?
- Bad bad bad court spacing, all players get together in corners to chit chat i guess, where is team specific playcalls.
- This game plays odd overall in order to trigger canned animations that tries to make you wow, but you don't do these wows on your own, all triggered by you pressing buttons.

That may play different with a guy playing the game as it should but, the game don't force you that way, instead it leads you easy dunk fest.
And still you see them working on the same engine to tweak what's already broken..
