Just enjoy the game people it's looking like the best 2k to be made.

Hey look, it's one of those guys who gets mad if anyone is critical of something. How original.

There's a 1-2 second input delay for every online game, is that a valid enough complaint?

Take another bow Visual Concepts. Your dedication to hoops gaming is unrivaled, peerless, and simply unheralded. Year after year, the game surprisingly seems to FEEL and play differently than its predecessor.

This year, the controls and movement is tighter than ever. When VC mentioned a true one to one dribbler, they meant it! As soon as you start using left stick in conjunction with right stick dribbling, the user options abound with what seems like infinite options to break down the defender or create space to get off a shot. The left stick can be used for a more explosive step back as well as a wider spin than you get when using the right stick. Both the sticks have its benefits when used in proper context. Suffice to say, working the sticks is a welcomed breath of fresh air to the franchise.

With regards to the button mapped jump shots (which I am not a fan of btw), I was relieved to find that they can be performed just as well on the shot stick with the LT modifier. The plethora of escape dribble, drifter, step back and momentum shots with the LT+double tap RS in various directions have already produced some awe-inspiring animations when shooting. The fact that these shots can be interrupted when neutralizing the stick produces some amazing pump fakes that will have over aggressive user defenders on a string.

All this and I have yet to really delve into the post game, as I'm having too much fun with the new dribbler and shot animations.

Again, take a bow VC. The only dev team that I can consistently count on year in year out for year round entertainment in the gaming industry. One more thread about "these guys not understanding bball" and I will lose my mind.

omg: i just "scored" a game winning underneath the basket with durant and all the players went crazy and the refs the review it and called it off...IMPRESSIVE stuff

[Goffs]

Anybody else notice that there's a bit of a lag when using LT+R-stick? It's not as responsive as I would like it to be...

Anyway I played a few games online and had someone actually quit on me...lol can't hang for 1 quarter of 5 minutes?

Anyone else notice if you pause the game online, you can't unpause?

I thought some of the guys I played before were just being dicks, but they had to dashboard after.

Thats because they added in the choice to plays as both teams & online coding.

Lol all I way just saying I rather complain about gameplay then visual things about the game. That what should matter most I would think. But my opinion is irrelevant. Can't wait til next Tues.
