You just "unhide" it, sir. Will definitely try this in the demo.

There are hidden moves you forgot to mention in the insight?

Of course in no way would I speculate that hard to start something here : )


...and nice going on the 3 moves in one in that pickup game... you should've told them they do call you "Mike"

Beluba...i have another issue i've been wanting addressed for a while - it regards blocking animations around the hoop....one of my biggest problems with 2k11 was that players could block layups and dunks by having their arms and hands pass THROUGH the rim...like if i'm doing a layup on the right side of the rim, a defender could jump from the left side, make his arm pass through the rim like a ghost and swat my layup away...in real life, he would not have been able to block my layup because I was "using the rim as a sheild" with my position and he wouldn't be able to get to me from the other side. another issue was players sticking their arms up through the middle of the rim to poke out dunks and layups and not being called for goal tending.

obviously some work would need to be done to the blocking system to make players "aware" of the rim so that their block animation would be limited or altered by their relation to the rim.

these issues aren't game-killers, but it would happen to me about 2 or 3 times per game in 2k11.

if it has not been addressed in 2k12, can you guys please try to work on this for 2k13?

Between a beefed up Rose and Booz with the new post game you should be a handful in 2k12.

Does Tony Parker have some of the "hidden" floaters as well?

I really would like to know this too. Making a floater in this game is like a accomplishment. Alot of times when i tried to do a floater in 2k11 I would get sucked into someone or I would get BLOCKED.

I watch alot of basketball and I NEVER in my life seen someone block a floater after it has been released and is airborne.

@Mike

Question.. As it was not mentioned in the Dev Insight, are signature gathers out this year (Y button in 2K11)?

Personally, I think they're better gone as some of the sig gathers were unreal or rarely been done in real NBA.

I also had a hard time making floaters to the point i stop trying to use them. Its the timing thats so messed up. You cant accurately get the release point correct on floaters
