You can edit players . When your In quick game . Hit the O button it back you you out to screen where there is a practice mode, roster edit , settings, blacktop mode. You don't have to be In my gm, my career to edit players or settings.

It's a little bit confusing at first , but players are fully edited and there is also a practice mode

In my opinion, spamming the steal button has been fixed. Fouls like crazy. Which is great. Blocking and shooting fouls are called frequently. Guys better learn how to play defense. Those who wanna steal and try to block everything, will get called.

My impressions of the game so far is that this is a SIM players wet dream come true as far as gameplay. With the right sliders this game can be heaven.

You have to think when and where you pass. You have to consider where you are dribbling as the ball is finally it's own object and you have to take that into account when dribbling into traffic.

The points of emphasis really dictates the flow of the game. You have to recognize what the cpu is doing in order to succeed. No more cheesy ways of getting easy buckets on the regular because the cpu can and will pick up on it.

I love the play through emphasis. This goes great with the second unit and you have one main scorer.

Some things I didn't like were that people's verticals are ridiculous when it comes to blocking. UD jumps out the gym for blocks. So custom roster freaks I'm waiting for your great work this year.

All in all this is a great foundation. And yes I'm still wanting a 30 team control option for MYGM mode as just playing quick games has me thinking of the possibilities of this bad boy.

Touche 2K. Touche.

Best sports game ever, imo. Loving it. Trying to get use to playing with this PS4 contoller is a task, coming from Xbox.

Rocket have you played any MyGM?

Anyone think the menus for this game are really stupid now? The old 2k menus were really nice, these just seem so dumb looking.

Of course the game is fantastic anyway

I haven't played the game yet but does anyone know if you can make more than one created player? I don't want my gm to be a young guy.

Not yet. But when I get off at 11:30 I will head straight home to do so. I want to see how this baby works.

But seeing how the personalities and badges just work on the court one can only imagine the hell that can happen during a MYGM and trying to fit pieces together.

One of the reasons I would love to control all 30 teams

I have no problems with the menu. It takes time to learn where everything is, but that's about it. We don't play the menu.

Yes I was having an anxiety attack trying to find roster editor and jukebox (hate that Robin Thicke song).

I don't mind having to learn a new menu... I just think it looks bad lol

My old man is in town and he woke up this morning as i let the Thunder and the Warriors play each other ( cpu vs cpu).

His exact words:

" why are you watching these teams play again, you already watched this game last night, you know who won"

no double take, no hesitation. There was no question he was watching a real game.


This game is stunning, the lighting is better than advertised (by 2k and even the hd videos i saw) and the graphics every bit of the next gen leap you should expect on your shiny new system.

There are new animations sprinkled in here and there as they are needed, and they are a treat: More physicality on the denials, a Hibbert Verticality animation, Kyrie's shammgod crossover are among the few ive spotted already.

The defensive awareness and rotations are improved as the teams seem to be on a string and aware of the switched that need to be made. Footplanting helps in this regard too as players dont over rotate nearly as often as CG.

quick hits:

-pull ups are quicker

-dribble packages seem to be differentiated a bit better ( i.e branching points and variations)

-Passing lanes are played tough

-Not enough mid range jumpers by the cpu

-rebounding seems less messy

I've yet to go and pick up my console, but a SHAMMGOD animation? Sound interesting!

Is real player % in the game? Because last night it was way to easy with the shot stick. I was hitting threes like Allen with D.Wade and Victor Oladipo
