Even big MJ fans...would they pay $60 for only having Jordan? I don't know...

OOOHH I see what your saying now. (And I think you meant general customer)....Still think my idea would of been cooler..lol

But I wonder why release a one teamed one player game. My little brother wouldn't even give this game another look because he only plays with Dallas...and Dallas only.

-You can lose your dribble if you try to isomotion into the defender, and have to make a tough pass to get it out against the close D.

- I love how they automatically step back behind the line if they're close to it.

oh man. i think i'm back. nba2k10 was putrid, but this is a real step in the right direction.

whats with the players moving when you arent even doing anything? they slide. that pisses me off.

Just takes it for the fast break, no look behind the head dish to PP for a smash. Another play he gets slapped with the reach. Everything is so fluid. I tried to see how far I could walk the dog, and let the ball near halfcourt. Rondo zooms in, scoops it up for the easy fast break dunk. -Moving around in space with the modifier on is sublime. I hate that they removed the walk it up anims, but I love how Fish can handle so fluidly, again. Retreats, pulls up with the between the legs...this is the perfect marriage of control and sweet, sweet mo-cap. -Weakside help is there 90% of the time, which is great. Lots of tipped shots and outright rejections. Seen a few instances of help defenders just jumping at nothing, but it's been greatly reduced. -KG on the blocks is sick. JO is so nice on here too. The sig stuff is bananas overall. The Truth's set shot, SMH. Mom. Ba. He's cheese, lol. Using Kobe is F'n cheese. I did a double spin baseline fadeway with Bean that was just filthy. -Spacing is great, passing lanes are now monitored closely by the D. This year, if you don't have the angle, it's a wrap on the ill-advised pass. It's tough to mentally note all the crazy things you see playing this. Man, great job to all yooz 2K staff.

The one thing I still want to see implemented in 2K11 that was in ID04 was the ability to set individual players defense on how to play the pick and roll and how to play the post.

Anybody know if this is going to be in there as well?

You know what man... you're doing yourself an injustice by ignoring this demo
