How do you explode out of a triple threat move? I've done it a few times by accident but I don't know the proper way to do it.

Point the right analog in the direction you want you want to explode in then use the Left analog to start the animation in that direction. I hope that helped.

playing the heck out of the demo

pros
- great playing calling system ( I love it )
- very good use of the double team from the AI
- like the easy pick & pop or screen & roll system
- some very cool animations

some cons

- full body clipping ( player warps through the defender) too many times
- the direct passing not great
- sometimes you don't always feel in control
- some of the faces just look way off to me esp. sasha for the lakers
- one last thing kinda strange i was making 30foot plus shoots to easy in the game playing on superstar.

having fun overall cant wait to see 2k9 demo to compare.

You don't need to point the right analog stick in the direction you want to explode, just point the left analog in that direction. For example, you can do a jab step (right stick flick right, or hold right if you want to hold the step), then while in the jab step simply point your left analog in either direction, and the player will explode out of the triple threat in that direction.

While standing still you can also hold the R2 button (or QSA button) and move the left analog stick in either direction, and your player will quickly drive in that direction. Works great after a shot fake.

Everything also applies when your dribble is alive.
