I already explained that to you, please read the controls thread. All the standing moves are done with a tap or double tap of the RS. You just have to play with it until you see which direction does what.

Uggh...they really should have just put in the instrumental for "We Made Ya" or just completely omitted Kanye's verse. He raps less words than are bleeped out. Absolutely ridiculous.

On the graphics, I have to agree with who ever said it first. Kevin Durant looks like Winnie the Pooh. He has the skin complexion of a squirrel and so does Eric Maynor. Maynor in particular looks like he belongs in a cartoon or an anime.

I actually like the change in controls. Everything feels more natural to me, and dribbling isn't the pain it used to be. Memorizing all those ridiculous combinations was... well... ridiculous, and practically impossible unless you had a LOT of free time. This year it feels more intuitive. And like Pared alluded to, difficulty is a big factor here...

Although I found 2k12's All-Star difficulty to be more "arcadish" than whatever difficulty the demo is on, so clearly I'm in the minority either way.

The demo just feels more like basketball to me.

ok if those are the moves then i got it and thank you for helping me figure out how to execute them, but now im past that and am asking did 2k take away the player specific sizeup moves because in 2k12 everyone had different moves when the same input was executed.

however in the demo everyone does the same animations, thus no player-specific size up moves.

so my new question is have player-specific sizeup moves been removed?

Glad I haven't see any of those stupid 2 player dunk animations, YET. Blocking isn't laggy like last year.

I hate to rain on your parade. You may have gotten full price if you traded @ Best Buy. 100% bonus on trades.

I love the new controls. It is really a hard choice you have to make when playing with the Thunder because Westbrook can just dominate and KD is just so freaking lethal. I find myself playing like Westbrook just driving and jacking pull ups.

Things just come so easy for me when I'm using Westbrook. Rio can't stop him. And when KD calls for the ball at the 3pt line I just pass and he hits the shot everytime. The Thunder finally play like the Thunder.
