It is not like last year where you move diagonal and the animation saves you. Think of retreating to protect the angle to the basket. Your going to have to give up something with slow footed defenders.

Not gonna lie czar... This lack of physical animations concerns me for competitive play. I relied on those animations to tame turbo mashers last year. So far I'm not confident I can force people to play smart ball to win... I for see frustration in my future. Even if I dis engage and cut off the angle the shot stick pull up is cash. so I feel vulnerable on perimeter .... What am I missing?

Instead of showing you "Late", "Slightly Late", "Perfect", or "Slightly Early" they now show a % when you shoot the free throw indicating how likely you are to make it.

We are eating at 4 and not a moment sooner, Landy." That spoonful is the 2k demo. Don't worry kids, the entire Thanksgiving dinner will be ready on Oct. 4th. Have some patience, the anticipation always made Thanksgiving dinner that much better.

Well said..

Peja actually came in the game for you? They never sub for me.

I got J.Kidd hot by hitting my first three buckets.
Chandler was cutting the key, Kidd dribbling and Kidd dropped a no look pass to Chandler for the easy lay-in.
Great demo.
So good.

I was freaking out at a off the backboard Smash I left for Chandler off a pass from Caron...it was nasty as hell. Wish I got it on my phone.

That's realistic, though. You have to pick your poison when guarding star players, especially if you're controlling a poor defender. You can either funnel them into the help defense, or let them take the shot from a greater distance. What isn't realistic is being able to use someone like Fisher to bump Derrick Rose all the time.

Waiting for the demo to download. Quick (trivial) question. Does Dirk adjust the side of his jersey (around the collar area) all the time like he does in real life? It's a running joke me and a few friends have -- how many times he'll do it in a game. Just wanted to know if that was something 2k Sports caught and maybe threw in the game.
