Thanks for the breakdown.

Looking forward to testing this out in a few different situations.

its gonna b so sick to master these new mechanics...i knw the day is gona come when live will b rock solid with mike wang in the driver seat.we will def look back n b like dang giving wang the reigns was like givin kobe the ball n sayin go score.u read it here 1st!
this has me even more excited bcuz when features like "my player", NBADL, summer leagues,revamped CAP, and CAT finally make it into live the gameplay will b there to hold it up...im almost 100% positive this is the view of the dev crew at ea canada.

Hey beluba i have a question about the freestyle passing...

If we are on a fastbreak and we have a teammate trailing right behind us is there a way to do the freestyle pass between the legs right to the teammate and he finish with the dunk?

I don't think you can use both at the same time.

Direct pass requires the push of a button to pass to a certain player.

Freestyle is only with the Right Stick.

Right? I could be wrong in how they work with each other....

Well both are brought up with LT. You can't use both at the same time, but technically Direct Passing is active before you use Freestyle, so if you're driving and think the freestyle pass won't get to the right man, you'll already be in good position with LT held down to fire off a direct pass via the button or just use A.

I REALLY like this control system combined with the simple off-ball mechanic. Looking forward to seeing what I can pull off with Jameer Nelson in the demo.

Your correct they dont work with each other... Mike is just trying to say if you want to make a pass to a specific person when you have your team mate in the path of the ball...its a safer bet to use direct passing.

Exactly Stumble.

Graphics wise it still looks bad. The concept of freestyle passing sounds good but from what I saw in the video presented it looked bad as well. Why are they just adding the option to take control of the off ball player? 2K has had this for years.
