What happened to ISO, I'm trying to do some moves with the right stick, and my players keep putting there back towards the hoop, what is changed?

you're not the only one. This ppl. are just too excited that they didn't even pay attention to how the game look visually. The crowd got higher texture quality than the court and player and the overall atmosphere on the floor. Everything turn into HD when theres a cutscene which the gameplay graphic look nothing like is so BS.

I just found it. I'm not sure how I did it but Rondo did his infamous "pivot-fake-pass-layup" paint move. I can't believe that you can actually do that in this game, it's unreal!

I'm wondering the same thing, all I can pull off for Isomotion is the clockwise motion for a spin move, nothing else works for me. Even at a standstill w. Rondo or Fisher and flicking the stick back and forth does nothing, doesn't change hands or anything. What am I missing?

Moving on, layups are by far the biggest improvement in gameplay so far. It feels so much better, you don't get stuck in that annoying 6-10 foot range where I guy like Kobe will shoot an awkward pull up instead of busting into a strong layup animation. Not to mention the actual layups are much, much better.

The graphics are improved but not as huge of a jump as I expected from the screenshots. I'm definitely seeing jaggies like most people on PS3.

The players also feel like they have more weight to me this year despite the fact that there is still sliding. I dunno, it just feels better to me, more realistic.

The game feels quite a bit different from 2K8 but that's not a bad thing, it also doesn't help that I cant Isomotion to save my life right now.
