I've seen this already. What I am saying is that maybe they only scanned 7 different player's/people's bodies and used those scans to create these seven body types. Probably unlikely though.

But the other theory around the board is that the body scams were used just to get skin details such as tattoos, markongs, and scars on the body. I believe there was a screen shot of Durant where you could see a scar on his left shoulder but it is clear that his actual body shape and size is imaccurate.

The latter seems to be true. Although it doesn't really matter as long as it looks good when we play.

Re. custom shots. We can pick shot and base now. How will it be different? Am I missing something?

WiSports haha man that is 2K16. He is just giving an impressions over a proam video from 2K16. He was one of the teamup community guys

Now back to this list sheesh. I think this is the most feature packed sports game I have seen in one year. I don't think we can compare this feature list to any sports game. If 85%-90% of this works after a patch or two well they still overachieved on a shorter development cycle in my eyes. This is without even going in depth on the MyCareer which I don't even play .

The game play improvements alone that they added were wishlist items for me for at least two years

Rebounding tap outs and tips live ball on rebounding yes
Better version of live ball across the board
Physics everywhere

This game is so damn deep. I can't even pick out one thing but the part about them letting users with actual show and all the control in your hand with make it feel that much better when you execute on offense

Not trying to be cantankerous, but I'm not sure yet. I like what I see and if it was just a matter of putting down $70, I'd probably take that leap. But I haven't even jumped up to next-gen yet. If and when that day comes about, 2K will probably be one of my first purchases. In the meantime, I still enjoy keeping an ear to the ground and seeing where the franchise is going.

Yeahhh I know. Literally just planned on writing that one sentence then bam, five paragraphs happened. Being concise is a constant battle.

Sure, was just curious what you were up to. Do you still play older 2K's ?

I actually went through a phase a few weeks ago where I played, like, five or six classic team games on NBA 2K12, haha. Also, I played my younger brothers' 2K16 a few times when I visited. Had a ton of fun with the create-a-team in my limited time. I could see myself getting lost in that stuff.

A lot of these improvements sound good. Hope trade logic, draft logic, and free agency signings by AI-controlled teams has been vastly improved. Hope improvements were made with the auto-generated draft classes as well.

Thank you for the clarification! That's an awesome addition to Pro-Am, IMO.

Loving all the news so far, i do hole however that for MyLeague we now have an option to play with just 1 team and be able to quit that team and take control of another without having to play with all the teams.

Also wonder if we have jersey control, as in can we unretire jerseys ? Like if I relocate and totally rebrand a team i would like to have the retired jerseys unretired and start fresh.

Just some minor things i been asking for the past couple years.

But overall loving the news and looking forward to the game, let the countdown begin.

Great sequence there. Offensively and defensively. Hopefully that defender was AI controlled. If so, looks like they eliminated the magnetic/suction defense. Also, great help on the dribble drive.

Could this be the year it all comes together...
