how does this affect the hopstep? in 2k11 the triangle button was the hopstep button. Has that been mapped to another button, or has the hopstep been eliminated? I thought the hopstep button was pretty useful in some situations, so i'm hoping it's not gone.

I'm someone who loves the post game, very few people actually master it and I play center with my My Player. I'm hoping the difference between posting up and doing the pro hop is as simple as holding a button and simply tapping it. Tapping for pro hop and holding for post game. That seems logical to me. More importantly though, I'd like the quickness of players to overall feel faster. The pass fake should be faster (or at least have varying speeds by holding or tapping), shot fakes, dribble moves etc. I really want to be able Use the deceptiveness of a CP3 or a Kobe. Rose or Westbrook should feel like the fastest guys in the league. Looking forward to more news and that. Love the write up.

Hopefully the fake pass will usefull in more situations on the move.

If it's similiar to getting stuck to a ref while coming down the court or paralyzed on a chair in 2k11 then I'll be mad.

they should allow fake passes during fastbreaks

only available to players with passing above 80

on a break...press b then shot stick for a fake to layup or press A for fake pass to pass

Really hope they look to "live 10" crowd as a reference in this years game... That game had the best crowd atmosphere ever... 2k like what I read, hoping for a more involved crowd to draw me into the game, by the way, 2k12 on pc for me!!!!!!!
