They do, but Live 10 has them in their game, so hopefully 2K can make my past come back to life lol.

Hello Pared. Can you give us some idea of what the defensive controls are this year? If the lock-on defense is gone what was it replaced with?

Do you press a trigger to face up the offensive player or is it automatic animations that happen when you get close, etc?

Can you shuffle your feet to cut off a man with the analog stick like before?

Basically, do you think the defensive options are better than 2K9?

thanks

YES! It's not a still graphic, just like Live's set up.

There is still no ability to choose to wear and away jersey while at home, also.

I don't recall seeing the "El Heat" jersey, but we definitely know they are in. I hope it's not an association only thing.

If you missed it, the Red Heat alt. jersey is just SICK. Best jersey in the game I've seen so far. The entire thing has this sheen, reflection look to it... such a beautiful thing to see. The Cav's yellow and burgundy is also a gorgeous jersey.

There is no lock on, just that crowding mechanic with LT. It closes space between you and the player. Face up is automatic.

Side note: I really hate the auto-post up. It is the single thing I absolutely hate with a passion. It's hard to post up some-times on command.

Defensively, the help defense adds the much needed in and out game. Players have "weight" to them, so it feels like you can really body up the ball handler and keep them in front of you with better defensive players. Defensively though, it's similar to the demo of 'Live 10. They still need more defensive options. Live has a challenge the ball handler mechanic by tapping the Y button (but it's broken) that I would have liked to see here
implemented correctly. The hands up move is more effective this year than in year's past.

The one on one defense is what makes this game more enjoyable for me. Don't get me wrong, however, as it is not without issues. There are times where your player gets turned around inadvertently and then you're out of position. If this happened because the CPU beat me with a move, I wouldn't mind, but it's happened because the control can be tighter.

I'm playin NBA Playoffs as the Lakers at home right now. Atmosphere isn't much different in the first quarter at least. The court has your standard NBA playoffs sigs on the hardwood, and the signage all around the court says NBA Playoffs. I will write what happens in the 4th for you.

Thks for the quick reply pared!!!

I will waiting for the pics for Celtics and Cavs home headbands!

I think, in your version, all headbands at home are wrong! maybe CPU uses 2nd color in home:

- Cavs with red at home
- Celtics with Green at home
- Warriors with blue

Thks man, it´s a little stuff, but for my is very important!

If other guys have the game now! Please, make pics and post!

Thks again!

This is what I was afraid of as I absolutely hated it in the Live demo.

Does the cpu at least post up outside of the paint and shoot fadeaways?
