I also noticed that big men jump quite high on rebounds. 'Vertical' ratings do exist, so lets hope they have an impact on that.

Excellent point, and I agree. Ironically enough, weakside shot blocking has been almost non existent. Looks to be improving with 2K11 though. Most blocks occur when a weakside defender come to help. Rarely does a defender block his own man's shot.

Blocking jumpshots being too easy and bigs skying for rebounds and blocks have been a shortcoming of EVERY basketball game ever made that had different player heights. So obviously, it's not something that's easily fixed. Why don't you guys take a deep breath, and focus on the progress the genre has made instead of making pages of the same gripe with little added value. We get it. We a agree. I sure THEY agree. Move on.

After playing for about an hour again last night I have to say that I am very impressed with this game. I am really wanting to see how the total control passing works. I played live 10 alot and it works really good on that game.

I don't want to get carried away with an impression of a demo so I am not going to write much other then I think this game will be Sports Game of the Year. I have to wait until I get the full game, but it really is that good.

Good job 2k.

Lead Passing is with you pressing the right bumper then using the right stick to pass right? i tried this out on the 360 and it works...my question is that will i see a variety of pass animations when using the stick instead of the button? if its anything like the shot stick then im definitely going to try and get used to using the stick to pass...
