you'll be amazed at how easy they are to pull of(with Kobe). essentially, any time you hold the left stick in a direction while your shooting, you'll pull an off balance jumper

This is from the Controls Insight which i am trying to reference every 2 minutes or so.

omentum jumpers also got some love. Like last year’s drifters, these play when you’re driving across the basket and are useful for creating space against the onball defender. These shots are also interruptible. So you can trigger the shot animation and neutral out the Shot Stick before your player gets off the ground for a pumpfake. I love doing this against overzealous defenders looking for a highlight block. Hit the brakes and they fly right by:
● Shot Stick with momentum = Drifter
● Shot Stick away from rim = Stepback jumper
● Shot Stick opposite your momentum = Spin jumper (Lebron uses this all the time IRL)

Thanks. Loving the demo...on my 6th quarter...

Control is indeed a lot smoother. 2nd possession of the demo I caught it with Kobe on the perimeter, used a triple threat move to set up a runner across the FT line for 2.

I guess we can only use LA though? Or am I missing something?

Overall just leaves me counting down more and more towards Oct 5.

This game is sooo fluid and responsive! Does anyone know how to euro step?

Damn, I think I might have to turn off icon passing.

I like it so far. I don't play with the lakers, but by the second game I was killing it from outside with Fisher. The final score was 14-5 with a chance at 16 on a fast break as time was running down. I wasn't cheesing or anything, just open and some contested shots.

The pace seems good and the controls were right. I just couldn't post with Gasol when I wanted to. I had to keep kicking it back out because he would face the defense with the ball exposed. Time and practice with the demo will fix that and I can't wait until the game is released.

Great Job 2K.

Seems better than the last few versions but the demo "quality" is poor. One 4 min Qtr with no option to choose the Celtics, no commentary, no play running. You cant really get a good indication of the game with the demo because its so short.

Madden 11's demo was excellent where you got everything you'll see in a full game whilst getting the chance to play a full game.... sort it out 2k
