Rob Jones, shut up because you are awesome....

He could have said,"2k15 is just 100% different!"

and I'd believe him, these guys have done nothing but focus on improvements year after year and it shows....Rob, Mike, LD2k, Zach, Ronnie and all of them are amazing...

Between LD2k, Ronnie2K, and now the man Rob Jones at the 2:17 mark all stating there is a feature yet to be announced that's going to make fan's extremely excited I would be willing to bet we will in fact get that TNT presentation we all been begging for. What better way to make the presentation be all it can be. 2K has stated several times it's about authenticity this year so I would expect this to play a big role in that.

Yeah, I wouldn't get my hopes up there. I'm pretty sure it'll probably have something to do with the "robust create a player" feature they alluded to.

A man can wishful think, lol

Interesting videos. I like what Rob says about play calling, defensive and offensive AI, the fact that they have introduced the new animations to correct and improve certain aspects of the game like rebounding, blocking, defensive interaction, etc. A pity he doesn't comment anything about online leagues .

That new feature should be some sort of online multiplayer mode. With the announcement of my league, I would think that all the folks who play offline have had their prayers answered, it would only be right to focus on us guys who prefer playing online as well.

I know these videos were recorded about 2 weeks ago, but its funny how slow we get info for a game that comes out in just over a month. 2K is a big deal nowadays. Its even fair to compare them to COD in Regards to perennial releases because they're both major sellers every year. I understand after this long of being a hardcore fan of the 2K franchise that they have a strategy when it comes to info being released about their games. What I don't understand is how can a game like COD which has the pretty much the same development window to release a new title every year, seems to release a ton of info about their products months before release and they STILL manage to sell regardless of who their competitor's are.

Yes I'm well aware of the HYPE vehicle which starts around mid July, gets rolling in mid August and picks up full steam in September. I just don't understand why it plays out like that, as if the game isn't going to sell if its not hyped up like that.
