Absolutely loving what I'm seeing! Unfortunately, the commentating seems to have taken a hit with losing Kerr. But that's just IMO.

Kerr definitely seemed to keep things more lively and engaged. There was a lot of silly back and forth chemistry. Anthony seems meh, but serviceable.

This was my favorite video by far. This looked like a sim game I'd play in. I liked Grizzlies looked to feed the post, also liked they had a few flex actions that looked better and developed quicker than in the past. Both teams ran some nice stuff. The 1st thing I notice that sticks out to me is much better spacing for the most part. Only thing I didn't like was Pau (pretty sure user) tried to post up from high post and back down. But I loved play where rose passed to butler then went and set a down screen for Pau who was running up to set a running ball screen but butler took baseline before Pau got there but I loved the action.

When adding a new guy, that's expected!

I agree. Can only imagine the complexity of trying to integrate a new person into a 3-man team commentating team. And they seem to have done a very good job, where there aren't obvious tone differences, they seem to sound as if they're all interacting with each other, etc. And It'll only get better

Also want to note it sounds like 2K's done an exceptional job with the arena sounds/crowd noise.

I'll assume maybe Greg 's comments will be limited overall. Shall see. I will miss Kerr. I dug his commentary

Nice methodical pace that both teams are known for.

With Holiberg coming in for Chicago, i'm surprised there wasn't a faster paced offense. This looks like Thibs offense.

Not much to go off of yet... I'm sure czar will update this team as well as all teams with new coaches after a month or so and seeing what they are implementing or running. That's great part of having it tied to the roster updates. Pretty sweet.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Video: Grizzlies at Bulls

umm............wow. it's rare that i'm truly blown away...but there's no other way to put it.

this is a work of art. i tried to find an awkward movement, weird contact animation, or wonky animation transition...but i don't think i saw one. it just looks beautiful.

i'm an animation/physics junkie...so this is like heaven to me. it really draws me in when movement and physics are done right in games, and this is by far the best human movement i've witnessed in a video game (in terms of variety of movement, contextual appropriateness, and blending between movements). Bravo to Mike Wang and his player movement guys. i can see why the devs have been so high on this. it really does look like almost the whole game was mo-capped.

obviously, the AI and strategy improvements are great as well, but animation is just my thing, so i tend to really pay attention to that stuff.

my ONLY minor nitpick regarding animations is that it looks like the gathers on some dunk and layup animations are a bit sluggish, like the gather has been unnaturally slowed down or something. but i've only seen that a few times so far in these new vids.

Everything looks excellent, but why are the fans so silent? They said they fixed that.

Thing is, Kerr knocked it out of the park on his first go. He did have experience voicing for EA but he's just that good (plus probably having worked with Harlan before.)

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Video - Memphis Grizzlies vs. Chicago Bulls

I really enjoyed this. It was just like watching these two teams play. Tough d, grinding out the clock, bruising down low, smart offense...

Literally the only thing I didn't like was when Conley got knocked down, BUT, he is a lot smaller than who he was guarding and he does take charges so in that context I'll let this one slide.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Video - Memphis Grizzlies vs. Chicago Bulls

Spacing concerned me a bit with Memphis, but they also arent a spread the floor type team so I'm hoping that's tied to tendencies/playbook and not an AI mistake. This video looked far better in terms of AI than the others Ive seen so far. But I trust Czar and OG to keep moving this thing in the right direction.

Re: NBA 2K16 Gameplay Video - Memphis Grizzlies vs. Chicago Bulls

Wow, Z-Bo looks on point with his body scan. The Grizzlies were my favorite team to use last year, and now they seem to be getting more love with the way the A.I. replicates them now.

It is his until we see what he does. When we put his plays in we will adjust how they play.
