The KG dribbles.. just go left right left right left right left right on your thumbstick. Once you get the timing you can do it endlessly

I think once I nail that, this game will be incredible. Has anyone been able to pull off those dribble moves that KG was doing in the gym at the 0:27 mark? You noticed how smooth the dribbles were during the game. Pierce had a hesitation dribble in there. Glad someone else posted something besides Pasta. Looking forward to BehindShadow's vids.

You can do it forward and backwards. For behind the back, press away repeatedly, in rhythm. For forward, get into that animation and press left and right in rhythm on the R stick.

KDRE, see this^^ is the EXACT problem and it's what you've been getting at ironically.

That shot from Ray Allen will look EXACTLY the same no matter when you release the ball. That is what I was getting at earlier a few pages back when I released his jumper too early but it looked great AND it went in.

That's what you've been getting at and it IS a problem despite how good it looks, unfortunately.

Haha, messing around with that quick strike, I just did it in a game. It was pretty neat. I caught it with Lamar, went behind my back five times and then hit Kobe for an open 3. It was more And 1 than NBA, but it looked great.

Live 09 makes a decent effort with the cool gym feature and the player models. The gameplay is just not there yet.

Did anybody else experience pauses during gameplay and not get the smooth movement up and down the floor? I did not see anyone else mention this at all in the other posts.

Gotcha

The look of it has nothing to do with the control of the shot. It can look fine all day but the release points that are non existant makes it unenjoyable.

Seems like jumpers are more scripted than under your control, but I thought Beluba said jumpers feel much better. Maybe its different in the final, but unless thats confirmed i dont hold the hope of it.

That really is disappointing.

Another question, how exactly are we suppose to play defense?
I'm not really getting it, sometimes they play up close, sometimes allowing the shot, but it seemed kinda random, not really dependent on what i was pressing...or maybe it is, not sure.
Can somebody clarify that for me
