Damn, this definitely has me excited for this to come out. All I need now is some actual gameplay videos and im good. Here's just a few things I have to say about the article:

Quote:

If you're playing a crucial game against a rival, for example, and both teams are vying for a play-off spot, a good chunk of that game's commentary--at least in the beginning of the game--will focus on the rivalry, the matchup records between the two teams, and the play-off ramifications for winning and losing

Hopefully this is time specific whereas you would only hear this going on for games that would occur in like late March to the end of the season and not something you'd hear if you were playing against a team who you're tied with in the middle of January or December.

Quote:

You'll start off either as a drafted player or as a walk-on to a team's summer circuit games. In the summer league, your goal will be to impress the scouts in the hopes of getting an invite to a team's training camp

Sounds good so far. Hopefully it isn't something where even if you play like crap, you'd still get an invite to training camp but instead, maybe one of the D-League teams would pick you up(unless you have to get picked by a team who would then send you down to the D-League)thus making you have to actually earn a roster spot or an invite.

Quote:

In training camp, you'll have five games to compete in, and after each game, someone will be cut. The goal, obviously, is to make sure you're left standing after the roster trimming is finished, but even if you don't make a spot on the NBA roster, your season isn't over. If you're cut, you'll be sent to the NBA's Development League (or D-League).

I guess this answers my previous statement I made regarding this lol.

Quote:

Your time in the D-League will be spent trying to get more playing time--mainly by making the most of the minutes you do get (using a handy simulation feature, you can fast-forward to the point in the game when you actually do get on the floor, however).

I wonder if we'll have the option to either play the games ourselves or let the computer play the game and then wait for your created player to enter the game before allowing you to actually get involved in the game?

[QUOTEThey also wanted to capture the differences between how a 7-foot player moves from how a 6-foot-9-inch player gets around the court. As a result, Yao Ming will move like Yao (assuming he ever plays again, that is), Nene will move like Nene, and Steve Nash will do his thing.][/quote]
Definitely glad to hear this.

Quote:

This year, the team went out and partnered up with the NBA scouting service 82Games.com

How long before people start questioning 82games and say they're not accurate either?

Quote:

On the other side of the ball, if you're facing up against Paul Pierce controlled by the AI, you'll know his tendency will be either to push in and shoot or try a pro step move. And, depending on your position on the floor, you'll know how to try to stop him.

Now by this, do they mean that he'll pull up and try to hit the same moves everytime or in a pattern or whatever or that he'll switch up his moves and that way you're getting different looks/moves EVERY time unless he's killing you with a certain move and you can't stop it?

Quote:

The right trigger is also used for sprinting, but because turbo has been abused in the past (especially online, where you can essentially sprint endlessly), the developers are looking to make turbo more of a commodity than ever before. As a result, when sprinting, you'll notice your turbo meter depleting more rapidly than before, and if you use up your turbo completely, your player's energy will drain dramatically if you continue to sprint.

THANK YOU 2K!!!
