The 2k11 controls video shows almost NO use of the Right Trigger when pulling off the crossovers, hesitations, size ups, and spin moves. so why go back to old habits?

This was a good tip, I'm not use to this in 2K basketball. When Czar said that I was like that won't be me but it was haha!

The problem for me is I don't see much of a visual difference when I'm pushing hard on the stick and when I'm not. That's what throwing me off b/c the animations make it seem like I'm moving the stick correctly most of the time.

I can tell when I'm just bringin the ball up the court but once you get in traffic its hard for me to tell. Now that I'm lightly pushing on it though I feel a lot more in control. I'm going to have to get in that practice mode asap because I'm not good at picking up these things during live games.

Its times like these I wish they included a tutorial or practice session along with the demo. But of course that just asking to much from a 2K demo lol!

So many wow moments to comment on...but one in particular had a tip pass end up in Ron Ron's hand cutting to the basket, man oh man did Perk get posterized...and 1 Everybody stand up and clap for 'em.....(2K)

I feel the exact same way man! I'm so excited to play the full game! yes there are going to be flaws in the game but from what i'm seeing right now this game is very close to being the perfect nba simulation

I wonder what made 2k change the movement and controls so drastically after 2k8. It seems like if they would have just fine tuned that system then the controls, momentum, etc would be fine right now.

Also just noticed Ray Allen completely boom on Gasol, despite Gasol having good position, directly in front of him, met him at his peak, and bodied him. It looked like it should have been a block or at the very least killed Allen's momentum. Unfortunately the system didn't recognize that and allowed Allen to score basically an uncontested dunk, essentially pushing through a 7 footer in mid air.

Yeah I do. Hit me up a MP with your PSN

Im diggin the controls but there are times when I feel they are a bit restrictive. With a guy like KB, in a one on one situation , there aren't many players who can constrict his options. In some instances it feels like the defender is recovering from being faked out too quickly. In those cases it feels like you're attached to the defender and can't break away. An example being the hip ride animation they have. With KB I should be able to either spin off or go into a fake spin to fadeaway shot. Maybe this is possible and I haven't figured out how to pull it off. Anyone done it?

I think you need to hold BOTH triggers...

1 thing that stood out to me, that is probably different depending on the players sig shots but I hope can be changed in the future, is the pump fake. On the demo every time I pump faked everybody brought the ball drastically over there head and didnt really look like they were about to shoot. But thats a small thing. Everything else is spectacular. Live was promoting looks over controls and 2K has the looks, controls, features, and JORDAN, etc. etc.... Live gets blown away this year. Go 2K!

game looks great, but they seriously need to look at there crowd graphics. There pretty ps2 if you ask me. Crowd cut scenes look bad also. Nice presentation and everything, just not clean looking.

I know 2k can do it. They know presentation for sure. For some reason they just havent touched up sideline players, coaches, and give at least the closer crowd members more textures.
