2k please hear me on this matter....in madden we can fake a pitch while the quarterback is running, I was wondering are you guys able to fix the fake pass so that we can have the option to move while faking other than the Rondo animation that you have ? because i don't know about anyone else but being able to fake the pass on the run would be super cool....

I also just want to say that the momentum in this game is soo great..people are bashing it but if you play real ball you know the way the game is played IRL....over playing someone on defense will get you played alot on the court and I love the fact that if you guess wrong on what the offensive player will do, will get you broke off..lol the RTP in this years game is nice also....I can not wait till this game comes out...!!

Defense will be the difference this year for sure.....again last night Paul Gasol slapped the Sh - - out of Rondo's move to the bucket hard off the board..it was funny as hell...Kobe's moves to the basket are poetry in motion....all I can say is this game is a "DAY ONE PURCHASE"

I was going to post how much I love the various catch animations they stuck in this year; saw some beauties this morning playing the demo. One handers, players jumping/twisting in the air to catch passes, sometimes momentum carrying a player out of bounds, etc... imo they're very very well done. Can't wait to start seeing this stuff in replays

The problem i see mostly is ppl seemed to think they would be playing a different game than NBA 2k, even after they quoted Czar millions of times.

Man I hate it when I rebound the ball near the basket and use the shot stick expecting to put it up for a layup or dunk. Instead my controlled player just tries dribbling the ball around like a moron. So when I'm in those situations I have to press the 'X' button. Even then they'll most likely miss the shot.

Oh I forgot a few more things to mention. Seems like the stamina bar was taken out so people might probably abuse the RT a lot, again. Also I'd like to see the players that aren't dressed out in a uniform in at least a suit sitting on the bench. Just another one of those small things but no big deal.

Thats not leading passing. Lead passing is a pass that leads the player towards the basket. In 2k10 this was overpowered and players would speed towards to basket for an easy score in many cases.

Actually, you can, but not with the "fake pass" button. If you hold the Shot Modifier + RS towards the rim, you might do a fake pass layup which I'm sure you can pass out of. However, I only did it once with Kobe and the rest were eurosteps, so it's kind of inconsistent. Though, if you play with Rondo in the retail his package might allow for more moving ball fakes that way.

Anyone else figure out the "flick flick" up and under moves with bigs in the post faced up? Thing of beauty.
