NBA 2K14 Interview - Pro Stick, Pass Stick, Defensive Moves, Block System & More

Proper help coming to help on PNR man! Yes! Now hopefully the offense can read and automatically space and react to the help on the weak side when it happens! If so this is Sweet both offensively and defensively! Loving all that I'm hearing!!! And I'm still reading! Lol

Agreed, add improved spacing (already advertised) and we would only be missing "improved" close out speeds (d recovery) to have an awesome game.

I hope this is all implemented well.

Right now, assuming all previously stated and all of what I posted above is done well, I only have two concerns:

- That teams distinction isnt blurred with the new adaptive defensive AI, hopefully such adaptiveness is related to players d awareness and coaching profiles.

- The fragmentation of the devs into two separate teams, as stated on MWs interview, there is only so much that the "whole" group of devs can do in a year ... so, a fragmented group cant possibly outdo the already set high 2K standards ... or can they ? ... and how exactly ?

Anyways, I am very optimistic of the power/prowess of the next gen and its repercussions on improved AI, gameplay and hopefully, physics.

Hearing about the controls without seeing some actual footage is like Stevie Wonder beating you in a game of basketball. Release some gameplay already!

Glad to hear about the pass speed increasing and that it gets out of your hands faster. Along with better pass targeting and the fancy/no-look options, passing seems to have gotten a good amount of attention this year. I have to see if the pass-type logic is improved so my guy won't be making obvious bad passes right into the defender's hands as much. Can't wait to try it out.

Is manual bounce pass still in? I loved that last year! If so what button configuration? I think I saw LT and X was alley oop now and LT and right stick is fancy pass so what is bounce pass?

I figured they split the team into two but is great to get a confirmation. WOOOOOOO

I want people to remember that Naughty Dog split into two teams
1 team created the Last of Us and the other finished Uncharted 3. So this isn't bad news. I know they are different developers but the different teams still help each other out.
