One of the biggest improvements to the March Madness series this year is the Dynamic Post Play. A new producer blog with a gameplay video from IGN and a video breakdown of the feature by Billy Donovan recently came out to go over it in more detail.

The producer blog can be found here. It basically just expands upon what is talked about by Billy Donovan in the video that demonstrates the feature.

Everything about the Dynamic Post Play sounds great, especially having options on the defensive side of the ball. The only thing that I’m a little hesitant about is how often the March Madness team is mentioning that they have slowed the game down. From the videos it does seem a little deliberate to me. It’s not really worth worrying about though with the demo due out next Tuesday which will give everyone a chance to get a good feel for the game and see if that is actually something that will feel too slow or if the pacing will represent a more collegiate style of play.

I don’t want to sound like a big downer or anything, but after watching that Billy D video, isn’t that the EXACT same post system 2K has been using since 2k5? The only thing different is the indicator icon that shows when your player gets into the post. Other than that, all the moves are the same- post up and down on shot stick is fade away, up/left/right is hook shot, you can up and under, you can spin left or right using the hop step button, and you can also pump fake out of the post. Same buttom combinations.

Guess I was expecting EA to reinvent the way we go to the post- much like NHL changed how we played hockey. I’m kind of let down.

Ive played NBA 2k8 and there post game is nothing like this. MM “looks” far more advanced. What i mean is you can actually play D in the post. 2k you can not. The only thing you can do is go for a block. So the in all actauality did reivent the wheel. I have never played a bball game where you could play D in the post.
