Good look Czar. I was about to try sim All Star earlier but got a game invite. I'm probably one of those people who need to play on Pro for a while, but I'm diving in headfirst anyway.

I was wondering why I couldn't achieve isomotion and that vid really helped a lot. I was trying to do a simple crossover while standing still and was wondering why it would only do size ups. I really was expecting it to be like Live's system, now I know better.

Great vid. I've just recently become aware of that you can pressure LS for different movement speeds. Need to practice more.

I need to pay attention to movement of the defender when using ISO motion.

I find using the signature gather (Y button on the 360) is key for freeing up space from the defender as well.

So far on Pro, I've had only had one game when I blew out the CPU (I was the Kings, and I blew out the Knicks by 30+ points). I've lost more than I've won.

You definitely need to master the game on Pro before going to All-Star.

The size-up moves are so huge to have success in the game. Once I started using them I started getting to the rim at will.

Not only for getting to the rim, but for forcing a slower defender who doesn't want to get beat off the bounce to take that step or two back so that you can J him up. With the supernatural recovery speed now gone, all it takes is a slight misstep by the D and you can get off a clean mid ranged jumper.

I don't know if i'm the only one but i'm doing just fine on hall of fame it just toke e a few games to get use to the contact and change of speed and direction u have to use to attack the hoop

Didn't really think there would be people complaining that it's too hard to blow by or get past someone.....I mean what did those guys want? I'm loving the learning curve, I feel so new at this, its def gonna take a lot of time in practice getting the ball handle up to par and also even more time getting use to the nuances of this game. That said, I love every minute I've put in so far as i really feel like I'm getting better with each game. This game is much more deeper than I ever thought it could be but also very simple if you master the fundamentals.

P.S. they weren't kidding when they said passing would be fun. It was painful at first but once it starts to click that lazy passes don't cut it, you will find yourself doing the right things to hit guys and giving them the best chance to score. I Love this game.
