how do you do the behind the back move on 360?

Some Tidbits:

+ Really like the closeups and facial animations. Graphics look great from close. Very impressive. Liked seeing Kobe chew gum. LOL. It's the little things.
- From far, not so much. Nothing stands out.

+ Controls feel tighter.
- I don't know when the hell my man is going to post up. Times I am trying to post I can't. Times I'm trying to drive, my man will stop driving and turn his back to the basket. It's annoying the crap out of me.

+ Liking the help defense. Opens up drive and kick game that hasn't been there in the past. I'm curious as to whether some teams have better help D than others.
- There were a few instances where help didn't come at all and my man could get all the way to the rim for a dunk from the three point line. But, it hasn't happened that often.

+ There are some good looking animations when finishing at the rim. I've seen a lot of different finishes.
- Animations at the rim give the offensive player a good shot a lot of the time even if you force it. Makes things kind of easy, because a bad shot ends up being a good shot because of the animations.

+ The computer moves the ball really well. Always looking for the open man.
- Every single player the AI has easily hits the open man. No matter who it is, they make great passes to cutters and open shooters.

+ The AI has more of an outside game. Not everything is revolved around getting a shot in the paint.
- It's almost overdone. The A.I. will have an open lane or a shot under the basket and will give up the rock to someone on the perimeter. You know, the type of stuff that would drive a coach crazy.

I'm just like everyone else in that I don't want every shot by the AI coming from the paint. But I want that because the perimeter players are playing like perimeter players and looking for jumpers. I don't want to see less points in the paint because bigs are not taking easy shots right at the basket. If that makes sense.

That's what I got so far.

EDIT:

+ Not sure how often it happens, but I've had players lose the ball when trying to do too much. Actually, it's only been Fisher. Lol.
- Remember how you can pretty much strip any fast break lay up? Yup, that's still in.

+ I actually like Kobe's jumper. I especially like his fade aways off of posting up.
- Don't like how you can't shoot on the move. I thought they had those in the game? It kinda bugs me when I have some space while on the move and I want to shoot. Only to wait as my man gathers for a SET SHOT. I don't want to shoot a set shot. Maybe I've been spoiled by the other game. Probably wouldn't care had they not had it in their game and not had done it so well.

my first impression is i simply do not like it. i hope the more i play the demo i begin to like it because i have already paid it off in full. i kinda overhyped myself for the demo. 2k9 demo i was very impressed how the game looked and how it played, but 2k10 i wasnt really impressed. I will keep playing and hope for the best.

Man im loving the Help Def. Got a mismatch between VC and fisher, VC posting me up Ron saw me in trouble and help out then VC past it out to Lewis and he drained the 3. Im glad they fix this man in NBA 2k9 this rarely or never happen. Kobe jumper is not that all bad people making it out to be. PIP is tone down, see in the cpu taking alot of mid jumpers now.

The only beef i had its 1 Q man. i Mean come on 2k man last year demo was like what 1 gig. This is yall 10 year anniversary i guess they dont want us to critique it too much. But im enjoying,

Damn Bynum can barley get off the floor i though he was more athletic than that. See my knick hero pat ewing next to vangundy. People were talking about the alley hoop problem im not seeing it. Nelson threw like 4 and 2 were miss. I knock 1 down and howard miss the other one.

First impression is that I do not like it!
I will give it more time but i just feels boring and pale.
