Jamming on the sticks (forcing it), holding down the sprint trigger (trying to hard), or trying to iso dribble too much like steve francis (dribble dribble cross, dribble steback between the legs, cross cross shake cross dribble). Those 3 things always gets you in trouble in the NBA if you think about it.

And this is why I prefer 2k's "isomotion" on the left stick over "freestyle dribbling". I just think some ppl just want pick up and play and give up when they feel that performing moves are too hard. But the thing I like about 2k is you have to hit the practice court to master your moves. And I love the fact the opportunity to do isomotion isn't always there. You have to pick your spots.

animations overall feel more delayed and sluggish than last year. you hit a button and there is a pause before the player shoots or passes. there are too many long "gathers" on layups and dunks...passing animations feel slower and more "floaty"...overall the game geels like they dropped responsiveness by about 15 percent. often you get caught in a canned contact animation and you can't dribble out of it or shoot out of it...you just have to sit and wait for your dumb player to finish the contact animation...

Chill out man..this demo is Default Pro. There is no way the contested shots you see going in will be the case when you bump up the difficulty level.

Roster updates as of July 14th? Then that means Ariza will still be on the Rockets. The trade happened on August 11th.

Shooting question.............Sorry its probably been addresses in the 100 plus previous pages but I don't have time to read. I know you can use the shot stick or x button for shooting. Which one is better..... down on the shot stick is a jumpshot but isn't up on the shot stick a jump shot as well? Is down preferred? Also doesn't it seem there is a little hestitation when using the shot stick over the x button?
