nice article, great great points...... I've posted a few times on this forum about the physics and AI engines they've been recycling for years, I really do hope with the next gen they upgrade and give us actual gameplay as opposed to jumping from one animation into the next


this picture cracked me up, something fresh and far removed from the eye sore that is 2K's "floating jerseys"

Thanks for checking it out.

A good balance for the jerseys would be somewhere in between what we saw in the screens for NBA Live 13 (a little too "painted on") and what we see in NBA 2K13. I'm sure they'll continue to develop that tech, though I must admit I can put up with imperfections there if the game itself is enjoyable to play.
