And do we still do flick-flicks holding LT like we did last year? I don't remember, but I don't have the time to test all this stuff out right now because I gotta get running off to my next class.

I remember some of the OS screen-shots had controls for shooting. Let me go look real quick...

The fact the you all love this demo so much makes me wonder how many of you are going to die of pure enjoyment when this hits stores.

It's so sluggish to me.

The key to that is not to flick the stick in the opposite direction before the shot is initiated. You have to wait until you're in the air. Right before you release the ball flick the stick in the opposite direction.

I agree, especially with the on ball defenders. They are so slow in comparison to the offensive players moves. And yes I have tried and used the triggers together for a speeded up defensive stance but then you skate on the floor and cant stop. Im hoping this has to do with it not being on simulation all star mode and some of that is fixed. It seems like there is less suction like madden and contact only takes place when contact is made which is how it should be but in madden they balanced this with the tackle button. I think with a overpowered offense and a plethora of moves on the offensive side there needs to be a counter balance for the defense otherwise we will have off ball defense galore online. The defense does feel sluggish to me. Just my opinion guys...

I love most all other things in the game but this. I think they made the post easier for the masses as well, but I loved the controls and post game from last year personally. Ive played some 50 odd games so my impressions of these and the new controls are from trial and error.

We only have 2k11 to compare to and a a few videos, but I like what you said. I take it you mean sluggish in terms of control? Even more control .... Yes please!
