Hold R2. To come in close, flick the stick toward the ball carrier, away to give them space. To shade, flick the stick left or right. I haven't noticed if that resets, my gut reaction is that it doesn't until you switch player control or the player you guard.


As far as Alleys, it must not be L2 + R2 and X because it doesn't work that way anymore, or the whole system is less wide open.

4 minutes... 1 quarter.

what a suprize, another multi-platform game looking and playing best on 360. One day ps3 owners will figure it out

1 qtr but there is a rematch feature at the end of it so you can keep cycling.

I don't know why they make these demos so bare bones. It's not as if bball fans are going to be content with one exhibition game, regardless of how many features there are. If they had their thinking caps on, they'd have made it multiplayer. Imagine having 1 qtr of multiplayer fun and then going to the demo screen?

People would be so hooked they'd have to buy it. Has Nino Brown taught us nothing?

Iso motion is mad easy!!

Press L2 to do a size up dribble.

Hold L2 to guard the ball or post up.

Press R2 to do a hesitation dribble.

While running Hold R2 and push the Left stick in a circular motion for a spin dribble.

While running hold L2 and R2 and push the Left stick in a half downward circular motion to dribble ball around your back.

Hold R2 while running, quickly push the Left stick left, right or right left for a double crossover or double between the legs dribble.

While running Hold R2 push back on the left stick to peform a step back dribble, quickly follow by pushing forward on the left sick for a crossover.

While running Hold R2 and push the left stick right for a crossover to the right.(Ball in left hand) push the left stick left for a crossover to the left (Ball in right hand).

There are a lot more moves to the Iso Motion but most of them are dont in certian situations.

Hold down L2, and then move the right stick to switch between the different quadrants represented by the lockdown icon. You do need to keep it held down though. Plus, you can only reach in lockdown mode when you are playing the opponent close.
