According to Ronnie2K, We'll have to wait for the first insight until...

Mid to late July. Last year's was in August so earlier either way.

Here's my question for the 2K11 scheme - if shot stick is right stick, the new ball-handling moves are right stick+LT, dunks are right stick+RT, that's all fine and good. Where's post up now though? Maybe pull and hold LT and hold up on the right to start your post up and then do like quarter circles or half circles and combos of that sort from the 12 o'clock position to do post moves? That might be hard to do the right move haha It's like when you first learn Skate and you WANT to kickflick but you just keep doing an Ollie and turning the board 90 degrees or so frontside.

i feel that it is very hard for us to use joystick for the game. Quite hard to manage the games with joystick.

[WTF]

Ball handling is not right stick and LT. Ball handling is still on the left stick.

This article isn't 100% accurate. Everyone should just hold out for more information.

So Mike left EA because he disagreed about the new right analog controls and 2k copies what Elite is doing ...lol ... Ain't that funny?

Operation Sports: Obviously, the first question is what made you leave the NBA Live team Mike?

Mike Wang: My main goal ever since I got into this industry has been to help create the ultimate NBA hoops sim. After spending time with both Visual Concepts, working on NBA 2K6-2K8, and then with EA the past couple years, I realized that if I wanted to achieve my goal, returning to Visual Concepts was the right move to make. I met some great people in Canada (both inside and outside of EA), but it is definitely great to be back home.

OS: When did you leave or decide to leave the NBA Live team, and when did you return to the NBA 2K team?

Mike: After NBA Live 10 wrapped up and we started going through the pre-production planning phase for '11, we held several meetings to discuss the future of the franchise. After going through those meetings, it became very clear that the vision I had for the game was different from where the leadership wanted to take it. I parted ways with EA shortly after and came back on-board with the NBA 2K team last November.
