Hold turbo, press shot stick in the direction you're running. Hitting Allen coming off a screen and then keep running in that direction and press the shot stick the same way that you are running is a thing of beauty

This has to be THE best demo 2K has ever put out... so much so that I can actually see myself finishing up multiple seasons in Association mode. the AI, pacing and shot selection is all there and the D actually has a team system.

PS: Fisher will kill you with the 3 if you leave him... the man does not hesitate to shoot it.

so thats just the leaner animation right? I mean it looks better. but I really just want ray allen to come off a screen, catch and quickly shoot with no real leaning. if thats more effective, ill use it, but itll still be quite a gripe for me

I agree Ruben... the quick catch and shoot needs to be quicker because it screws up your release when it has that little hitch. Same complaint I have with shooting out of the jab step.

Btw the CPU lakers had a fastbreak on me. kobe ahead. i was rondo and planted myself in the paint wanting to get posterized. instead kobe throws an alley to odom and I get plowed over by the incoming odom. offensive foul. lovely lovely contextual animations

I just did it with kobe comming off the screen....it was something ive never seen in a basketball game it was so smooooooooth.

how do u do the touch passing?

[Stumbleweed]

Just hit pass again before it arrives. Hitting pass the first time and then hitting it again and holding seems to be the most reliable method.

Didn't they say that they were giving us the option to hold RB and keep the icons up for multiple icon passes? I know Live has that, but the icons keps going away after the first pass in the demo...

Pierce's shot is the exact same as last year. I can't believe they didn't change it considering how horrendous it is.
