Yeah. They were both playing with bad releases all game long.

Paint defense is much better. Looks like Westbrook and Harden were able to penetrate at will even in the half court, and only got stopped by strong interior defense. This worries me a little as neither player had to do so much as call for a pick to free their guy up. Still, less of a concern than the "turbo around the perimeter until your defender runs into his own guy and opens up the lane" from last year.

Spacing was again, very good. Parsons and Lin hung around the perimeter when Harden was handling. Dwight was weak side and Asik high post or vice versa.

Nobody called plays (or ran them when they were called) so I couldn't tell how the AI dealt with picks or positioning. One of my pet peeves in 2k is the horrible AI logic when you are playing off-ball. I was hoping to see whether the AI does a better job recognizing when they missed their pick and go to the next step of the play instead of standing there like a dummy for ten seconds while the shot clock ticked down.

They definitively nailed KD's signature jumper looks like

Seems like ld2k was dodging a lot of questions by saying "you will have to wait and see"

Another thing I liked was the noticeable speed acceleration when driving by Westbrook/Durant etc...

Yes, one of the things I mentioned in the Vegas impressions, speed differential between players is noticeable.

The game looks best when two users play on ball and rn plays. All this freelancing and spam stealing and blocking makes the game look sloppy. Defense looks better, but the rockets user was playing awful defense so why should he be bailed out by developers forcing balance?

It comes out in a week, this feels like 2k back in the days when it comes to releasing news. Waiting til the last second

Hey I'm a big boy, I can handle if the demo is not releasing tomorrow, just let me know. What I cant handle is the question being ignored. I work in the business world and communication is A1. It just makes people mad when questions are asked and you blow over it............Now I know its Not Ld2k's fault but their marketing is sophomoric....
