I obviously disagree at this point. But I have not spent a lot of time with the game. So I respectifully disagree, today, that the game needing sliders for me... is a fact

Probably because it's true.

I see a bunch of new random animations... everything from defenders putting a hand out to test their man at the top of the key to different dribble moves with guys like Jamal Tinsley (I have him in a league and I saw 3 or 4 new animations in a game yesterday). Don't know if they were just "unlocked" by some of the changes in gameplay or if it was actually a new animation package that came out with the patch, but I'm a fan.

And the crossovers seem tweaked.. they trigger more easily and you can do two of them quickly where before you'd often do another move or some random twitchy business instead of the 2nd quick crossover. It's deadly online now... back up and get some space, crossover, step-back, jumper... money.

Also, it seems as shooting out of the jab step happen a lot faster now. There was a small delay that really ruined the jumpshot rhythm and caused it to get blocked a lot -- with guys like Melo and Kobe who shoot out of the triple threat a lot, that was tough to get over.. seems much better now.

Iso is way more slick. I've done some crazy stuff since the patch.

Yeah I need to capture some craziness... I've absolutely sonned some people online with that in and out yo-yo move that you do by pressing RT + away from basket then quickly towards.. The crossovers are so nasty now with guys like Tony Parker.. almost unfair how quick you blow past someone when you get a little space, but that's the way that dude is in real-life too.. gotta foul him.

That's another thing I've noticed -- a lot more fouls called in general, especially in online games. People that are constantly reaching with the PG seem to pick up 2 quick fouls in the first pretty often.. and if you burn the initial man, you tend to get hammered at the basket instead of getting blocked or scoring more than before.

The contact at the basket after dribble penetration is MUCH better after the patch. As long as you don't have a cheesy finisher like Kobe or Lebron, the dribble penetration system is fantastic. Passing out of those animations with the help and everything...ah, love this game.
