In a way, I mentioned it but didn't mention what was happening in 2K10. Hehe

- Lebron is ball hogging and gets fouled everytime he decides to attack the rim and not settle for jumpshots. He does get awarded for foul calls and free throws in real life.

Reminded of last year how the CPU would abuse my AI controlled teammates cuz they knew none of them would pick it off lol!

Yes you do see that from the cpu AI. At least I did from the build I played. I'm not sure how to qualify how often it happens but some of them do get picked off especially if the passer has low pass ratings ( my observation from a limited play time.. however that is how is was designed)

So they do try it. In the build I played it wasn't an every possession thing but they will test you. Like I depending ( I think) on the passer and his pass ratings and how open the offensive player is some get through and some get picked. I haven't seen a play where i was like NO FN WAY...LOL but again once we get the game and just sit down to play that may give us more of an indication of wether it a real problem.

Hey Czar, I don't see anyone else mentioning this and it's really not a big deal, but are the dancing girls going to sit courtside during gameplay like the past 2Ks and like real life? The demo vids are showing them running to and from the tunnel when there are timeouts. I want to know if the final retail will be like that.

A guy like Joelle Anthony(sp) is going to have to adjust to maintain control of the ball if he tries to run with it right away. Right now they are slipping into their sprinting animation with too much dexterity. I'd also like to see that dribble be higher on lesser skilled big men. Bosh is above average in agility and skill for a big man, but you can still see him looking at the ball a bit if he has to start a break after a rebound. Fixing this will balance out the factors of bringing a guard to help, trapping when a big man puts the ball on the floor far away from the basket and trying to sneak in a break when a big rebounds with no pressure around him. This will also separate highly skilled tall ball handlers like Odom, Durant or Anthony Randolph who can take the ball off the glass and initiate the break with reliable consistency. Small thing--pump fake animations seem a bit behind compared to the updates of the last few years. That lackadaisical raising of the ball over the head isn't fooling anyone Looks great otherwise though. Saw some wonderful things. Really like the new substitution graphic. Hope to hear more new commentary, but that's often not something we get until the release version, so grain of salt.

I'd like to piggyback off of this with a question

Does the CPU ever slow down the game to control the pace?

If they're up do they always rush it up the court like what we see here?

Thats one thing I think this game is missing that might even help it feel even better if not.

If it doesnt, this should be considered in a patch from the beginning

Rice apologies I wasn't watching the cheer squad much when i had the game. Slipped right past me. I will try to keep an eye out when watching some of the vids I have.

Hey czar I would like to know about passing during the middle of and before the finish of some user controlled moves this year.Can i pass the ball out after my first step of the euro step with d rose, if not can i pass out after the second step? Same for spin layup, if we can branch out of all animations, does it look fluid trying to pass out of a spin gather or hop step, pass the ball in mid air or the hop step because artest just helped off of korver(supid move) and he is at the three and unless i get him the ball mid air hopstep he wont get a clean open look. Maybe you can flirt with things of that nature and report to us, and if you cant answer now maybe when they lift the shhhhh button off your computer if you could let me in on that later. Thanks for the insight on everything though.

Right...But the only problem is, Mo Williams isn't next to him. I need Wade to control the ball a little more or see a balanced attack.
