Are you trying to break them down or are you trying to get around them? I've never been stymied when I've had Westbrook covered by Bosh or Battier. If they're on you, make sure you got space, make one move or two and go. There's no way they can stay in front of you if you drive around them. If you try to get fancy, then you're not really gonna do anything to them because those moves are mostly for beating guards jut quick enough to stay with you.

Has anybody seen or done a 360 dunk? I've tried spinning the RS but it just does the spin to layup animation that people we're cheesing with last year.

I don't think any of the players have the 360 dunk in their dunk package, I guess Westbrook is a possibility.

Am I doing it wrong or is it simply not possible? Edit: The move in question:

Yep, that move is definitely possible. I put a bunch of those shots in personally. Try facing up, then hold LT(L2) and spin the right stick. Or you can double tap B(CIRCLE) then hold X(SQUARE)

oh snap...i'm finally getting a feel for the controls, and i'm loving them. but there were some things i had to understand before it made sense.

this is what made it click for me - the right stick dribbling is really best when used only for "stand-still sizeups". the right stick should mostly be thought of as the "sizeup stick". once you are moving, it is best to stay away from the right stick, because the left stick dribble moves and right stick dribble moves will be fighting each other.

what i had to understand was that the player automatically does crossovers, stepbacks, spins with just the left stick...i was accustomed to using a modifier for those moves in previous 2k's...so seeing my player do them automatically without a modifier was really throwing me off. i was trying to do these moves with the right stick, but i really only needed the left stick to do them.

what was confusing me is that there is a bit of a redundancy going on - a lot of similar dribble moves can be performed with both the right stick or the left stick (spins, crossovers, stepbacks). what was messing me up is that i'd be driving and i'd want to do a crossover, so i'd use the right stick to do crossover, but my player would automatically do a crossover with the left stick, then he'd do another dribble move from my right stick input...so my player would do two animations when i only wanted one - the left stick crossover and right stick move were fighting each other. once i stopped using the right stick while moving, it all started to work. the only move i use the right stick for while moving is the behind-the-back, because there is no way to pull that off with just the left stick.

I was able to do it. Such a terrible idea to have the controls camera relative in the demo though. I had to twirl the right stick clockwise up and down instead of the regular right to left.

I was also able to chain a euro out of the face up position as well. Very nice touch.

Yeah. Lame the control options aren't available in the demo. It would make a world of difference for a lot of people. Something we'll have to correct going forward
