There's supposed to be an Insight about the Shot Stick. Hopefully, this week.

Well, the "ex" shotstick :/

why can't anyone from gamescom play defense. They take themselves complete out of the play by either running around like they have no head or attempting bad steal attempts. I like that the cpu is, for the most part, taking advantage of the bad defense. Seeing that this is on default game setting, and probably only pro do difficulty, I am really curious how smart the cpu will be on a higher difficulty and on Sim mode.

Color me impressed. I haven't really been keeping up with the b-ball game news lately, but the action on the floor looks pretty incredible. With the passing tweaks and some of the other gameplay additions, I think I'll be back on board for 2K11. Don't really have time to play much these days, but I can't say no to a basketball game that looks like that (great presentation improvements too).

To me the best part about these early videos is the shot success -- whenever I think a shot is bad and will miss, it missed, and whenever I thought, "Oh, he's money from there" it was in. Very little eyebrow-raising for me, which was the biggest issue I had with both games last year and in the past... just too much random crap happening that goes against the nature of the players/teams.

Fastbreak looks way improved too, Mike bringing Direct Passing over from EA makes me happy, as I loved that feature and the options it opened up.
