Yes they can

Can you box out? It was very easy to grab a guy and box him out in 2k10

I havent really seen much evidence in videos and I could barely do it in the demo.

Yes they do. I didn't pay much attention to who the players were, but there is definitely activity.

I haven't had any issues boxing out. L2 on the PS3 will box out. I've seen a few over the back calls as well.

Adelman retired after the first year of the Association that I simmed, and I just simmed the 2nd year and Phil Jackson and Larry Brown both retired.

[OGKing]

I don't understand that Suns-Bucks trade.

Why would the bucks want steve nash when they have Jennings? I thought 2k got rid of that issue.
