no playcalling in demo.

Love how some 'bad' passes result in a tough catch animation instead of going out of bounds ALL THE TIME.

The catching in general has seen a big animation overhaul. nice stuff. Alot of animations outside of the driving shooting and scoring ones look very organic. Definately the finest looking B-ball game i've seen.

Myself, and surely a lot of other people, are going to be able to play something that resembles defense this year. The control you have is much tighter on D, though not quite perfect

Can't wait to find out more about NBA Today 2.0.

To the guys saying they don't have any control. Try not pushing the left stick all the way in any direction. You can finally feather your control. When you go all out in a direction your going to kick in momentum and weight and you won't be able to change direction as fast because you will have to slow down.

Practice this when you bring the ball up the court by walking jogging running and then walking again.

To cross without big movement briefly hold left trigger over tap the stick left to right to switch hands or you can keep it in the same hand and strafe left to right. The control is there same thing on defense try using just enough pressure on the sticks to move at the speed you want.

This was NOT necessary in last years game so some of you may just be waayyy to stick heavy to appreciate to movement upgrade. Same thing happened to me when I first played.

Now if your doing all that and it still seems like you don't have controls then its probably just not responsive enough for you. Please give that a try as it really opens up the game on offense and defense.

and stay away from turbo. It forces you to go straight in the direction your facing so its best used as a burst after a move and don't hold it when changing directions.

players movement to slow they dont turn around or run correctly / demo is ok

I think i got it...
You have to switch to off-ball control somebody while Fisher has the ball, and i believe he'll call a play himself then...not the most practical thing in the world but it's something
