I think they would do it, but of course, it'll slow down the game.

Why do people think that focus on one area means a lack of focus in other areas totally unrelated. I'm sure they have people focused on gameplay, and other people focused on Association, and other people focus on My Player, and so on. I can't wait to see what's in store for My Player. I may actually play more of it this year if the things I felt needed fixing are actually fixed...

Imagine the devs having to sift through LONG threads like this to find what people REALLY think, but have to push aside the posts that do nothing but troll. Or gripe just to look like some expert that's hard to please. Props to Wang for his patience. I'm sure he has a TON of work to do.

Speaking of work, let me get back to mine.

my bad, i must have read it wrong. but what you said makes sense relative to the square. it's possible they designed the game like this to reduce the number of blocks? definite possibility there.

There are certainly many times where players will use the high window to finish a shot, but not as many as 2K11 portrays. As such, some of those layups in the videos we saw looked a little unnatural.

i checked the other threads and saw several comments. to be fair, i think 2k made big strides last year with making layups a little more natural looking compared with previous years. it could still get a lot better though i think and i just saw the 8 minute video. check it out at 4:50. these situations are just pretty awkward and don't look realistic at all. it's not game breaking though.

there are also some pretty weird ball physics where the ball seemingly rolls up someone's arm on a blocked shot (like 6:10 of the video). it sort of reminds me of things i've seen in some other bball game...

some of the short missed shots where the ball hits the back of the rim sort of bounce off slowly (like at 2:45) and it would be very cool if 2k added some instances where the ball took quick, sharp bounces off of the rim. think of bricking a shot short on the front of the rim where the ball glances off the rim sharply. i think this could even help the transition game as rebounds would be quicker and give the D a little less time to get back.

don't get me wrong, the game looks great already but hopefully these things can be improved upon and would make the experience a lot more realistic both visually and gameplay-wise.

maybe it's just me or something but the passes seem to float, i'm not digging that. There is no zip on the ball,
