A lot of this sounds good but it also opens up some real concerns. First the tip rebounds. In years past the offensive rebounding was a huge problem for 2k severely punishing the more skilled player with computer controlled rebounding and the Ai's inability to recognize defensive positioning after the rebound. He already said in the video that the tips outs were going wide open players catching and shooting. Though this happens occasionally is most usually the case that after a tip out rebound players have to regroup to a certain extent because the defense is quick enough to get back set. It is more usual to get open 3s off an offensive rebound that is more controlled as a rebounder has time to pick out the open shooter or by drawing the D in with the threat of the putback. Passing accuracy needs to be limited with tip backs.

Secondly, the oops. in years past this was a huge exploit and the only way they could nerf it last year was to completely ruin its usefulness in many life like situations. They can never seem to get it right with the ball speed, trajectory, physicality, and animations. I'ts either way overpowered and looks completely stupid, or not useful enough. I hope they put some time into it as it is a major staple of today's NBA.
