A little hard and I'm not sure I'm a fan. I'm not a shot stick guy. I never have been and never will be. I just want to use the right stick for dribbling but because of the controls and the fact I cant change them, I every once in a while will attempt a shot when I'm trying to do a dribble move. It happens very rare and it could be user error but I'm not a fan.

Nope. I dont have video capturing equipment.

Any new courts for Blacktop Mode? Do players still wear their own uniforms in Blacktop?

Are any of the sleeved alternate uniforms in the game? Warriors/Suns?

Is it true Erving isn't on the classic 76ers? Creating a Legend removed? Dunk/3pt contest is association only? No more Dream Team? Is the current Team USA in?

Any other removed features you noticed? Coach mode? Choose different arena at team select?

Can we upload/download sliders from 2KShare? And does 2KShare still do Rosters/Teams/CAPs?

Thanks for the impressions, great stuff!

Any improvements to create a player? Like new hairstyles or anything like that?

Thanks for the early write up, especially since there does not appear to be a demo this year. Gameplay and online is my thing so here are two questions.
1. Were you able to play any user vs user matches either online or local and does there appear to be any easily cheesable play/animations/players?
2. Can you play Classic teams online this year against someone other then a friend? That was terrible for me last year as in 2k12 I spent the majority of my time playing online ranked classic matchups.

The classic teams plays were not updated so they will not have all the improvements of current team plays with very few exceptions.
