I can't tell from the screenshots if this critical but simple animation has been added. Where have you been, this is already in the game, has been for about two years now. Critical glitches that needs to be fixed: The other is when the AI CPU is inbounding the ball after a made basket, the user can go near the PG to deny him from getting the ball. The CPU will pass it to the SG. If the SG is not a combo-guard(Jamal Crawford/Kirk Hinrich/Monta Ellis/etc) he will stand and hold the ball and always will pass it to the PG. This is an easy steal by the user as long as you stay attached to the PG. Maybe this has to do with difficulty level. B/c I've been in this situation pressing the PG after a made basket and if the SG get the ball after an inbound, he will wait to see if the PG becomes open but If I'm near/attached to the PG, the SG will walk the ball up court. And by the way it isn't always the PG/SG back there. It depends on what team you are playing. I agree that the PG is always back there which makes sense but if you play the CAVS or the Lakers, you will find Lebron and Odom joining the PG, and normally that's who the AI passes it to when inbounding.

Okay I hear people mention control issues and defensive issues, I was wondering if someone could give some specifics? If regards to controls if you mean Isomotion then i do understand. But I solved that problem but switching to the ALT A control scheme. With the spin and crossover mapped to the face buttons. And i also like in regards to this that the player's ability still matters. Just b/c a crossover and spin is easier to perform not everyone can execute it well. EX: Spin/crossover with Derrick Rose vs. Eddie House. The effectiveness, timing and execution are different for both players. The only downside to the control scheme is doing the spin drop set in the post. Since that post move is mapped to "hot step" and not the "y" button, when you switch the control scheme the "hop step" is replaced with "spin" at that button. And for odd reason you can no longer execute that move.

i play 2k10 heavy this year, but damn it seems like everything they mentioned they stole right from nba live 10 and nba elite 11, is there any originality in their thought process... Its funny though because when live announced this stuff people were not excited about it and they actually downed EA for doing it lol, but since 2k is announcing it and its all exciting because its 2k... thats just like people that choose the iPhone or the EVO because of the name lol

and for those of you who say the shot stick was in 2k and now went to elite... yes and no i would say because the elite shot stick is completely different you have to roll up from the left to do a left handed lay up and from the right to do a right handed lay up... you have to have the stick pointing straight up and have great timing in order to make it on nba elite or else it will miss right or left like in real life... on 2k it doesnt have to be straight up as long as you flick the stick, it can be left right up down all that. Plus Elite is still different because if you think about elite uses the right stick for all on ball movement... dribbling, shooting and anything else that the hands would do in real life except passing...
