Chuck hates being in video games for some reason. DC is like "the warden" from the Game of Thrones thread

 

[arturzeee]

Preordering my copy sometime next week

 

[DCAllAfrican]

DC, what squad you run with?

Whoever. I usually random select whenever I play a human

 

[DCAllAfrican]

 
for real... everyone wants it but noone watches them anyways.... i've watched 9 in my time with 2k15 u?

Yea the, "We need TNT presentation" is fake outrage to say the least. That is why I never understand when people cry about that.

Hawks I bet

Hawks were my squad in 2K10. Flip Murray and Mike Bibby. Then of course Joe, Josh, and Big Horford.

They are cool now. Korver and Schroder are solid

Is Chuck on any of the classic teams? Haven't bought 2k in years so idk if they added older ones other than the 12 that were announced recently. I'd rather them secure that than his analysis dialogue

He is only on the Dream Team in 2k13

Just seen some Live gameplay footage...

It just may be a competition this year. Wow.

I wish, because it would make for some better games. But it won't. Live are still just getting back into this thing after the Jesus fiasco and it will probably be a couple of more years before they can seriously rival 2K.

Jesus Bynum is still hilarious years later

[carver]

Can't wait for 2k.. need a sports game in my life.

Football season here but Madden is cheeks 

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Video just shows how behind the ball 2K is when it comes to in arena audio

Crowd Noise especially

 

[Nipsey3000]

Hands on preview looks good. I just wonder how team dynamics will change on offense and defense one players are added and subtracted from the rosters.

If nique is added to current hawks roster (cpu), will they maintain team equal opportunity principles? Our will they play thru nique? Or both? Maybe play thru nique in crunch time?

Will a team adopt a run and gun philosophy if magic is added?

I don't like that cousins didn't touch the ball much in the kings game.

No comments about improving game atmosphere. Authentic crowds and sound go a long way, too bad they haven't addressed it.

I remember one of the last ea sports offerings...the year after the Lakers lost to the Celtics in the finals...the ea sports offering had game atmosphere SPOT ON.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I know some of you don't read the developer blogs and have this idea that 2K just gives us the same game year after year with a few upgrades. "Lazy" 2K

But yea, from the horses mouth

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Last year was too tight though. Was damn near impossible to hit the roll man without a lob pass or an alley oop. It was wayyyyy easier to tic-tac-toe it or just hit the open man on the opposite side. I'm all for it being hard but all of the options need to be hard then.

So yea, they said it would be more difficult to hit that first cutter. Just said it in the podcast. So good luck

 

[goledensilence]

Hip Hop Gamer did an interview with that NBA Live Stream Team the other day that touched on both Live & 2K. It's a pretty good watch.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

HHG talks out of his ***. 2K DOES NOT have the MSG LICENSE. A likeness and a license are two different things

 

[mgrand15]

We'll see. Hopefully the PNR defense being a little more realistic and defensive awareness being more of a thing will open it up a bit more. Strong PNR defenders and strong defenses should stand out. I just wanna see pocket passes and realistic passes on the PNR. Not these silly lobs I had to throw to be safe.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

They stressed the idea of angles being used correctly, ball-handler going shoulder to shoulder with the screen setter", in PNR situations. Again, I would go listen to the podcast with DaCzar and OG. They speak in depth about it.

 

[mgrand15]

Yeah that's what has me excited. Haven't checked out the podcast but that entire section on PNR defense in the blog sold my preorder. I gotta see it in action. It's easy to talk about that stuff. I trust the Czar more than my family tho

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yea they really took shots at the, "2K doesn't fix legacy issues and puts out the same game" crowd. Seems like they have been reading this thread almost

It is so much BASKETBALL discussed man. It is a thing of beauty. Can't wait.

I still ight wa

This weeks show

 

[shoeking2102]

Man I can't gather much from Gameplay preview videos and what not. 

I'm not even trying to say i'm nice as **** with 2k or trying to be an elitist (even though I am

) but I play so realistic that when I watch these gameplay vids it looks terrible to me. 

Like I play with the game speed in the high 30's, I use my own present sliders to get the desired results, 12 minute quarters, calling plays whenever I'm in the half court, switching matchups and defensive coverages when necessary, etc. So I guess I'll have to wait until I get my hands on the game myself to see what the deal is on 2k16.
