I know the gameplay is supposed to be improved but I haven't heard all the details.
Surely man defense will be fixed I would hope.
ArmyCowboy;2851721 said:One thing I've seen is that they have a wider range of ratings with far fewer players having a 90+ overall and the overall rating going all the way down to 45.
Therefore elite 99 type players (and they are only about 5) will be truly elite and most teams will have very few 90+ players.
Here's a link to the ratings, if you haven't seen them yet.

I heard they were suppose to enhance the franchise mode this year. I guess we'll see.

I'm not going to hold my breath for major changes, I heard they have some cutscene type show that will summarize what's going on around the league but I highly doubt they made much progress as far as contracts and giving players personalities and focusing on the draft, player development, etc.
In NBA 2K, players actually react to their needs and wants, and they don't just accept whatever you throw at them. Sometimes you have the money but they want to test free agency. If they don't get the playtime they want, they'll pout, demand a trade and actually play worse. Teams will actually offer you trades instead of you having to go looking for them all the time. Etc.
I have a feeling it's just a shinier coat with Madden, not really more interactivity and having to actually react to the players. You could have 10 QB's rated 99 and only play one and the rest of them would just sit on the bench and do nothing and like it.
