Pressing it will pass it instantlywhile holding it will allow you to control that player manually until the button is released, at which the point the pass will be made. Cheese move of the Year.

You are aware that could manually control players off the ball since 2K8 right? I don't think it's ever been a major problem.

Plus, I'd expect the AI to be a lot more active in the passing lanes to prevent any kind of abuse.

Boy is this wait gonna be long

Not talking about waiting for the game, just stuff like

ah it looks like 2k10 stuff... well it IS

I mean the guy said its an "early build" and people are skipping over that part
just to say it looks like last years?

and Shadows come on man, you know the drill... they never give you the meat right in the beginning.

It's been available(off ball control) but my biggest gripe is the passing logic of the AI. There are times I set my guy in the post and he has the ball, I switch to the guy who dumped the ball to try to cut to the basket to see if theres a lane as soon as I begin to move they pass it back.

It's like I know what I want to do but it just won't let me. Also happens in My Player I try to cut but they give me the ball before I can even try. Offense doesn't have to revolve around you for every possession.

uncross fingers. it should never be that easy. people have to learn atleast something abou the game instead of 2k just giving it away.

Not even just that. Ever since 2K3, none of the images released or videos released have done justice to how the game looks when you pop it into your console. Critiquing screens at any point prior to release is really pointless.

The control is clearly simpler. Just because the writer did a shoddy job of describing it is no reason to be confused. You hold the left trigger and move the LS.

Had a quick look at all the pics

I noticed in the Mike Redd pic, that he has a green and white rubber band , that's definitely new.

In the Ben Gordon pic, i noticed Lamarcus Aldridge's(i think it's him) red shoes, I'm pretty sure you couldn't make it look like that in NBA 2k10

The Heat lineup screen looks really nice.

Now time to read the article
