Riiight, if you say so,but the post entry passes alone should make you want to be able to decide which pass you want. Not to mention the pick and roll situations.

yup,the post entry sucks sometimes,and when the game is close its a definite controller throwing moment...its one of those things that makes u feel like u were robbed..

and its not always bad passes that create tipped passes and what not,its players with their backs turned miraculously knowing when to put their hands up for a steal...right now there is really nothing that makes steve nash stand out over a random rookie point when it comes to passing.jason kidd,steve nash,cp3 should all feel head and shoulders above most pgs passing wise,the fact that they dont shows us we arent yet where we wanna be in the pass control category

Thanks Dawolf, really appreciate your personal insight on your gaming experience with 2k12. I could not really see in the videos, but do the player you controlling still get in a defensive stance everytime you pass by an offensive player if you are not pressing the sprint trigger? Hope you understand what I am trying to ask, lol. In 2K11, if you attempted to just run up court without sprinting, your player would constantly stop and get in that defensive stance if you ran by someone...

Didn't read the posts, but I would assume this was an old build of the game. I recall reading that passing the ball wouldn't be such a pain this year.
