Damn I love the hanger. I'm starting to get ****ing busy with these moves.

What Ray said about not being able to stop and pop in the paint might be an issue. I haven't tried that yet but because of how the new shooting system works, I can see that would be a legit issue.

Overall, the game feels really good. The only negatives I've noticed so far is the super leaping, warping rebound animation and also a minor stat banner glitch. A stat banner popped up comparing the top scorers for each team and for Kobe it had his point total, FGM/FGA, and rebounds. The only problem is that the the rebound and FGM/FGA stats were flip-flopped. Under rebounds it had 2/3 and under FGM/FGA it had 0, even though I had already scored 6 pts.

I really like how they give you a deep dribbling system, yet on all-star too much dribbling causes turnovers.

Dig the atmosphere a lot.

Gotta get rest but I'm anxious to delve into it more tomorrow.

To pull up in the paint while driving..... Just let off the left stick, it's that simple, and your momentum will cause you to gather your self before pulling up. Looks real nice.

Yeah so just let off the left stick then immediately hit X.... It's not that hard folks....

Trynna help, not trynna offend.

I don't want to do all that, I just want to pass him the ball -You can't body up on a defender like you could in Live 09... don't know why, it was a great animation and feature -Like I feared, it's hard to pull up for a short stop-and-pop fadeaway jumper right outside the paint-- you end up shooting a layup instead -Every time I tried to call for an iso, I ended up doing so and then immediately throwing an alley-oop

I feel you on some things feeling like a chore, but how much of that is unfamiliarity?

For the Iso & Direct Pass, it seems you're either holding the button down instead of tapping or the button is getting stuck. Obviously Y is mapped to alleyoop (a bad bad control scheme imo but whatever) so thats going to happen if you're still pressing it after you call the iso. And if you hold let go of LT before the button of the receiver, you switch to that player, you have to release the button first to make the pass.

You can body up the ballhandler depending on the matchup. Devs said they removed the suction animation from last year and while i'd like to be able to body up more, what Live 09 had was not the answer. This doesn't seem like it either, but small sample size so far.

I found that provided you release the left stick at the right time, you can pull up for a short jumper/leaner/fadeaway just outside/inside the paint. I'd say practice that.

Disagree on the likenesses, music, etc but thats subjective. Lets discuss the demo rather then get defensive.
