A few things I noticed after watching a couple times:

- The 3D on-court projection imaging looks pretty cool. I had a feeling 2K would have that this year, and sure enough....There are at least three to four companies that produce this technology, so I wonder if they acquired this tech for all available teams or just a select few.

- The facial animations look great, but Westbrook and Carmelo's faces were not good in their brief appearances.

- The Harden jumpshot had such a bad hitch in it. I know that's part of their animation/shot system, but boy did it stand out in this video.

- Those jerseys look really poor as the text stretches on movement and the proportions are incorrect for text vs. number size. As player body types and faces keep improving, minor things like this really stand out more.

- The crowd/bench head-tracking are still poor, but their buzzer-beater celebrations (and presumably big moment animations) looked really good and improved.


This trailer looked really good, but I'm ready for some actual gameplay video and/or breakdowns. 2K has the presentation game on lockdown (all genres) and that continues here. Details could use some work, but presentation usually very good.
