I haven't played any basketball games in awhile. Will the retail version have player lock? I can't stand all this auto-switching, I just want to play one guy. Will that be possible?

I would do that in real life if i was on the court its commen basketball know how sense and that longer then me thing don't fly son. Don't matter that Sam cassel been playing basketball longer then Rondo. Rondo is just a better basket ball player

bro i dont think u fully understand what we are trying to say. its not about knowing what to do because we know what we want to do.

the problem is taking the ideas in our heads on what to do and inputing them into the controls

With what you explained i about going left, stepping back and all that i would end up turning around and running backwards instead of stepping back. its things like that that we are talking about

This is the move I've been trying to pull of with KB but can't seem to. Its patented Jordan and is one of KB's go to moves when he has to create space for his fadeaway. Very simple, yet very effective. They can't have missed putting it in the game

Benn playing and watching and playing basketball since i was 10 which makes that 25 years of watching and playing "Son". I know how to pull off the moves the problem is it always does not do it when i want consistantly. 2k9 was the smoothest iso controls of this series hands down

well congrats. you are one of the ones that has iso motion down but it has nothing do with playing basketball irl.

we all try to respond like we would in a real game unless you are a cheeser but some just cant get the player to do what they want with the sticks

This is one beautiful game. Just did a move with Kobe, near the left hash, sizing up Allen. Gasol comes to screen to Kobe's right. Faked toward it, KG went to hedge, crossed over and instead went left. Allen was caught in the screen and KG was trying to recover.

But too late. I went into a momentum pullup right underneath the arc with plenty of space. Swish.

So beautiful and smooth, I just had to crack a smile. So many moments like this, in only a demo.

But again, I wouldn't say movement is 100% responsive, but they've removed all the WTF movements and you can now do exactly what you want. Took me a min to find out how to do the various spins, like the tight quick one.

And I just gotta say again, it feels so good to shoot. The post moves are quicker too. Just did a quick dropstep with Artest, guarded by Rondo in the low block. Strong-armed him easy and laid it in.

Oh yeah, I actually had the CPU do one of those wrap-around passes on me with Rondo, I jumped on his drive with Bynum, and he threw it around my back to Pierce in the corner. Looked nice, and dynamic. He actually caught me with that "Dream shimmy shake" thing he does where he spins back and does the lil one handed shot lol.

KG is still giving me the business. Feeling helpless against him. The CPU seems more dynamic, they'll pull up right on you, or if you get a big on Paul or Rondo, they'll shake you and drive right past.

I like the shot contests. Much less J's being blocked, just forcing misses.

Crazy how this game went from almost unplayable (2K10 for me personally, due to the control/movement issues) to being this smooth and responsive.
