Won't that be kinda bland ?

It seems like an extreme thing to do cause of one sound effect, but I guess it annoys you a lot.

Z Bo's first up and under wasn't canned. That was a step through followed by a flick flick. Looks like you can basically up and under with anyone, anywhere now. Doesn't matter...all post moves were high powered since people complained about missed layups two years ago. Up and under is the simplest, but everyones pet post move was high powered. The baseline spin/reverse layup was gravy, the faceup/hopstep was money, and everyone had a turnaround like Sheed...only the hooks out of the stepthrough/dropstep could be contested consistently since the animation called for the defender to stay attached. Looks like the new up and unders are supposed to counter the amped up blocking.

Also, in 2K10 once the play was triggered, you didn't have to stay in the circle...you could dribble around and sizeup as the play developed. Should be the same, hopefully.

I guess he would have crazy vertical too right? Look until you can show a pic of these crazy vertical in relation to the rim using the 2K cam. I'm going to say you are wrong. I'm not debating the animation, it did look weird.

You're trying to get too technical. It's all relative. All you need to do is look how high he is compared to the other players. It's obvious something isn't right. Greg Oden is 7'0" tall and it looks like his head is around the level of Gasol's mid section.

Nah, it looks alright to me. Gasol looks just slightly taller than Oden in this video and he is 7'1" in real
life so it's o.k.
One thing I noticed though is that Aldridge and Batum - in the short moments where the camera zooms in on one of them - look actually 2 years younger instead of older compared to 2k9.

Hey!

Just wanted to comment on the statement made earlier about how annoying it is that conley has to initiate every play, I say the SAME thing everytime I watch them play in real life.

No easy baskets come out of our play design, which is why we are always at the bottom of the league in assists.

Sad, but the playcallin is pretty accurate

He brings up the playcall menu, calls a play and has to pass the ball back to Conley, then Conley has to run to the blue circle. That is why I refer to it as a "rigid" play calling system. There should be set plays which can be initiated with any player on the court so if Mayo has the ball you don't have to pass it back to Conley to run a play for Rudy Gay. That's what I was expecting to see this year.

The problem is you dont know what play was called. If the play was a 1-3 play, that means that the 1 (Conley) has to initiate the play.
