Let me clear up a few things as there's a lot of speculation going on right now. This is why I hate Twitter. But anyway...
I have not removed "user skill." There's still a great deal of weight applied to shot timing. So knowing your players' releases is still a key success factor. It's just that shot quality is much more important this year so you have to take good shots.
For those wondering how we made green releases more rare. It's done based on shot %. So if you take a low quality shot, you basically won't be able to achieve an excellent release. As your shot quality improves, the window for an excellent release grows. So again... take good shots.
Last year, green releases were meant to be 100%. If you saw one miss, that was a bug. A good bug... but a bug nonetheless. This year, the shot bonus for greens is still pretty high and it's based on the shot %. So the higher the %, the greater the excellent timing boost. This is basically how our shot system has always worked, I just tuned it. It's kind of a mix between what we had in 14 and 15. And yes, it does kind of suck to miss a green release, but over time, it feels right. Still, I might tweak the system after getting more feedback from everyone... but nobody is really complaining about it internally.
And why don't we just remove the shot meter? Too many people like it and it's still a valuable tool. Not everyone has the time (or desire) to memorize the shot timing for hundreds of players in the league. And if you like to play with lots of teams, or just want to experiment with a new team, the shot meter is very helpful. You can always turn it off if you want.
Last thing, we CAN tune offline differently from online. So I'll be monitoring feedback closely once you guys have the game to make sure everybody's happy.

2k has always been really stingy with the gameplay vids.
These trailers with 2 seconds of game action
EA has stepped it up in that regard with Live 16.
Expect 2k to start rolling out the videos next month.

Appreciate Live for doing so (even if it's not much of a choice given their situation)

In the eyes of unrealistic fans of course the improvements won't be noticed

The "improves" aren't worth a damn it they aren't noticeable.
Oh yea we changed it from last year just not in any noticeable fashion
But at least we've got spike lee right....
your undying support is to be admired tho even as they half *** it year after year even going backwards at times you never waver

Android finger mistake. You got me.
But in all seriousness, you can't be serious with saying 2k doesn't get better each year.
Maybe you expect enormous jumps from year to year

I'd settle for a hop at this point fam.
awful servers
awful player customization
horrible presentation
stale game modes
They've had the same issues for how many years now? and refuse to address em
I am excited for this year as I hope they give us some of the customization we saw in their most recent WWE offering but I'm not getting my hopes up
hopefully some of the features from pro-am are available in other modes knowing 2k tho i wouldn't be shocked if they aren't
**** they're hyping the game this year on a mode(pro-am) I'm willing to bet won't even work properly for at least 3-4 months
every year they sell folks on some new bs gimmick all the while ignoring previous issues

menus/layout
music
commentary
arena atmosphere
all bad
I wish they'd just combine so we can get the best of both worlds

Music, everybody won't agree on that. So that is personal taste.
Commentary is solid. It gets old after a while but which game doesnt?
Menus: Can take some time getting used to because they change the button commands often but the LOOK of it, I love.it.
Atmosphere needs an upgrade. It isn't on lives level for sure. Wouldn't call it BAD though

No more random online leagues? No more rankings or checking friends records, top 100, can't call timeouts in team up mode without it lagging, servers always down, etc.
But I still play it and enjoy the game yr after yr.

Waste of money. No matter how good both games are, you will settle down with one. You will get tired of getting the controls confused. Rent. Figure out which one you like.
One will be played.
ONE Will sut.

2k does not get better every year gameplay wise imo & this is from a avid 2k supporter since 2k6

It got better from 13 to 14 to 15.
Again, the changes are so miniscule at times, folks aren't even aware of them.
Go back and play the previous versions

I copped both live and 2k for years never had a problem playing both
And that's the problem with 2k they'll spend their time tweaking something no one notices and shoving some bs feature at us they don't address long standing issues
MYPLAYER has been a key mode and selling point for 2k and yet the player customization is awful it just don't make sense
Just like they're hyping pro-am this year yet anyone with a brain knows it probably won't work properly for months if ever
