he can still do that in real life

Is this how it works or am I just having bad luck with Artest and Bynum?

You were holding turbo huh?

Yeah that's it. Though it was the same animation as last year which is not that effective, imo. Hopefully, that move has some variations. Thanks, man.

The insight/video covers just about every MOVE (not animation) that's in the game. mjjr, what move that you don't know how to do isn't covered in the insight/video? Why should they tell you HOW to chain them together? That's one of best things about the game, learning and figuring out what looks good, what can be chained into or out of.

i corrected myself. i mixed them up.

you are right about the practice. with me its also so much to do but i dont remember half of them of them lol

i can say or see in my head what i want to do but i just cant put it together with the sticks. practice practice and practice i guess

I'm goin to need the 2K cam, practice mode, and a whole lot of free time Lol! But I think I may finally achieve the isomotion year.. the control scheme and overall mechanics seem great and the fact that the unrealistic recovery speed is gone gives me all the inspiration I need to put in that extra work to become good at it.

Jano, it takes years to Achieve the Isomotion. Don't speak lightly of it.

But seriously, this is another reason I'll enjoy the game so much this year. I can actually do things on a consistent basis. 2K9/10, if I did something hella tight, it was probably luck, or if I could recreate it it didn't look as cool because someone probably warped, slid, teleported, and hopped out his time machine to mess up the essence of the play.

2K7/8/11 allowed/allows you to create things and put them in your back pocket. It'll get to the point where that back pocket is so full you won't know which move you want to pull out to make the defender look stupid.
