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.

Understand...but don't get me twisted..2K has way better animations in my opinion and the little interactions are great..it just seems like its a little boring..I'm still playing, having only one quarter does do the game justust..so I'll buy try and see if its what I think it should be...I am a 2K fan first, but just like the fact the EA at least stepped it up this year..

[WTF]

Damn. I was winning 20-6. Kobe gets a breakaway, Ray Ray is 0-6... Kobe goes in for the uncontested layup, and Ray Ray absolutely slaughters him.. takes off his head... haha.

And just stands there over a crumpled Kobe on the floor, glaring, til Odom comes helps him up.. then Ray holds his hand up like "Yeah.. I may have got him a little"... lol

I like the demo, gameplay is nice! But a complete bore with no commentary. And the fact they didn't break it up into two Quarters so we could see that highlight thing at the end is weak.

Overall its nice, the graphics are choppy though, pixel city. Only looks good on close ups and even then the jaggies are in the house.


Video coming soon.

did anyone called an "instant" pick and pop/not roll?

i was using Fisher and just got dunked on by Garnett... and I know there isn't any commentary but for some reason i heard a OHHH!

The isomotion is weird. Like when I set up it seems like I can't do alot of the things I used to be able to do. Does anyone feel the same way?
It might be because I'm too used to 2k8's isomotion or it may be because of not being used to the PS3 controller. I need the real game to make sure.

Post Moves.

While in the post - Push the Right Stick (Shot Stick) in a differnt direction (up,down,left,right) for a differnt post move.

While in the post -Push the left stick away from the defender or left/right along with the shot stick in the same direction to peform a post jump shot/fade away.

Press (triangle) on ps3 Combine the drop step and drop step spin with the shot stick(left,right,up,down) for different variations. (Pro Hop) or whatever you like to call it.

Different players will have different post moves...Shaq vs Yao or KG vs Duncan.
