I propose, and will continue to do so for NBA 2K12 that 2K get rid of that circle and just start up the play when you call for it. There is no real benefit to making the ball carrier start from a specific spot.

I thought the automatic play flipping was supposed to fix this?

Very nice 2 mins. The first wade dunk was a little too flashy for the scenario, but nice nonetheless.

Even so, its still awkward.

While movement is diagrammed, I'm positive that no coach tells the ball carrier to start the play from a specific spot on the court. Maybe, the play is designed to start from the wing or the top of the circle, but not a small circled area of the court.

Forcing players to stand on that circle is awkward. If guys have the AI calling the plays, then they want the play to happen so it doesn't make sense to give the user a spot to start to trigger the play start. It should just start as soon as possible or be triggered by a much, much larger portion of the court.

I know, for example, that the Lakers Triangle starts further away from the three point line. Fine. But, neither Odom, nor Kobe nor Fisher stand in a circle to start the play. They stand in an specific area of the court.

It sounds very minor and it is. I just like to think that when I'm playing, I should be able to record the game and everything should move naturally. When I have to move my guard to a small circled spot, it just feels like I'm being directed and it eliminates the real fluid TV Broadcast feel.

I see they have lebron down to a t because he definitely traveled on that spin step dunk at 2:20 and he does the same thing he did with clev get the ball, have his teammates run around making it look like they were running a play but the whole while everyone knew he was going to drive the lane or shoot even though the user gave him a wide open shot by standing theresmh. Keep that up lebron and you will never win a ring lol

that dwade dunk was nice and the lebron spin dunk was sweet also

This video was much more impressive than the Bulls vs Lakers video imo, no generics here. I can't see me playing the with the classic teams very often.

The Wade and Lebron dunks were very nice. The presentation is much better in this video as well.
