Yes it has...
I agree with everything...played a mix of Lakers vs. Bulls and Warriors vs. Cavs, what I liked most so far:
- Responsiveness, on offense and defense. Its like 2k17 was at release day, loving it.
- Gameflow and motion in general, it feels great.
- AI, Lebron put up some really cool moves in the post and got me a few times
- Menus and UI
- The game loading times seem to be faster
What I didnt like:
- Some animations dont seem to be fleshed out, some look a bit choppy and notchy
- CPU still overreacting and overhelping on drives
Havent had the time to take a deeper look into ACE (saw someone here reporting that it still doesnt work) but overall, im loving it, and without anticipating too much I think well have a very good 2k season ahead of us.
