Glum do you know, or can you say if generated rookies are going to just have random tattoos all over them or will their be some logic applied?

I really hope year three of every season isn't filled with face tattoos

That's what I wanna know too. It's awesome that they finally overhauled the tattoo system, but it's going to be even worse for franchise mode if every white guy has a shaved head, blonde mutton chops, and a giant tattoo on his scalp.

I get 2k games releases free on steam. Do you need a game pad for this? I would love to try love hoops again and give the wolves a finals win.

And move to ps4 if I like it.

Yes you absolutely need a gamepad. Although playing with a keyboard would be hilarious.

I just read that 8 of the 12 new classic teams are now known.
12-13 Heat
03-04 Pistons
07-08 Rockets
99-00 Raptors
07-08 Celtics
00-01 Lakers
02-03 Mavs
99-00 Blazers

Really curious who the last 4 will be. I would expect a Nash Suns team if they didn't include the 03 Mavs. Anyone have any guesses? (I'm assuming the new teams will be from 99-00 or later)
edit: Maybe the 11-12 Thunder.

It'd be rule cool if in myPlayer, you could start as a European prospect at the bottom of a Euroleague bench.

Please let it be a Nash Suns team...

So we don't have a NBA Live thread (probably with good reason), so i'll just post this Live 16 footage here:

Overall it looks way better than the last Live game, but the animations and the way the players move around is still kind of bad looking

That looks pretty bad tbh, not like it matters to me since it's not on pc.

The animations and stuff look really weird and stiff for basically everything.

There's nothing bad about that video at all. I've been hoping for a long time Live would become relevant again even though I've loved 2K since the start. Some poo poo iN has been annoying me for so long like the input lag and terrible online and animation abuse. Long as Live isn't a glitch fest I'm definitely gonna give it a try.

I'll add it to the op, I think the ball mechanics look pretty cool but I can't tell if they are more realistic or just something different and interesting. The player movement looks weird and, at least in the video, it looks like fast breaks and drives are WAY easier, which I don't think is a positive.

Honestly, this engine looks like it'd be better for a 3-on-3 street-type game with the high bounces off the rims and the jump passes down the court.

I hope so! Defense feeling sluggish was a big downer last year.

Just the fact that there will be some long rebounds makes it pretty awesome, I don't think I saw a single long bounce in 2k15.

Dallas Mavericks: Generations
04-05 Suns and 05-06 Heat are in. I wonder what the last two teams will be. I wish it was the 11 Mavs but I don't think they are going to get two classic teams. My current guesses are one of the Kobe/Pau Teams and the OKC Finals team.

I prefer being an interior defender as well since it seems like wing players can just randomly decide to blow by you with no rhyme or reason.

Lot of decent additions, I'm not thrilled that Domination seems to be the same as last year. It encouraged you to play in a completely unrealistic way (always go for assists, take one three pointer and if you hit it no more, let the AI take uncontested shots so you have more time) so you can rack up the MT.

Yeah but I only found that stuff really necessary in the last 4 or 5 teams, before that I was able to just play (with some extra focus on fast breaks and assists and stuff but still). We'll see if they've changed the formula up at all.
