Some of the key points:

- The defensive guideline seen in the E3 gameplay videos can be toggled on and off
- New animations will be pushed through post-launch, including celebrations and moves
- A bystander supposedly mistook the game for 2K, which suggests significant animation improvement in the build on display
'- There'll be on-court chatter relating to the current game situation (players shouting that they're open, clapping their hands for the pass, etc)
- While there are in-depth playbooks, the goal this year has been to have teams run their real offenses and have players make plays without the user calling plays every time down the floor

Whoa, situation specific on court chatter is cool. Wonder if they'll bring back the player specific crowd booing. Dwight Howard in LA?

I'd love to have the on-court chatter audio directional, so we can try to pin point players when they are saying they are open. I think they may have done animation updates this year(15) as well.

Don't forget the secret Jordan Brand thing they have yet to reveal.

They seem to be pulling out all the stops this year!

A shame MJ himself is a 2K exclusive (as far as I'm aware). Would love to see him back in the game, in Ultimate Team and in any other way they care to utilise Legends.
