yep blackngold...thats how its done.

Stevedrum...to do a bank shot, press the L stick in any direction while releasing the shot to attempt a bank shot.

has anyone had an illegal screen called? I'm hoping this was brought over from Live.

Hey thanks for the instruction on the bank shots, I was not quite sure how to do them.

I have played alot of games on the demo and I have not seen an illegal screen called, maybe its in the game and not the demo?

n/p...I will warn you that the bank shots feel a little "inconsistent" meaning that it doesn't always seem to work although I think I'm doing it correctly.

And I'm hoping they are in. The one thing that I want in basketball games is more off the ball fouls. Rarely do you have to manage foul trouble because every foul is on the ball. Over the back, blocking players in motion, holding, riding out in the post, etc....are fouls that I would love to see be added.

Hockey games are the best games in my opinion of actually portraying the vast array of penalties the sport includes.

Wow, thats brutal.
I hate to bring CH2K8 but I loved how recruiting was balanced in this game. I mean, you didn't have 5 stars center coming into your dynasty every year for example. I wish they have the same approach for NCAA B 10.

I agree too, Anything to add more realism to the game is a plus in my book. I would like sometimes to have foul trouble to test my teams depth and to cause my coach to have to adjust my substitution patterns.

I know last year you could adjust the number of fouls it took to foul a player out, but I didn't adjust it. I may experiment with it this year as I name rosters, just to see if 4 fouls would force teams to have to use their depth and manage their roster beyond fatigue.

Wow, finally playing this. Game is SICK.

Definitely will put this on the Christmas list
