Will also allow you to control how you finish. -If you don't second flick, you hop step then remain stationary. This way 1) it's controllable 2) you introduce skill by the user; gone are the hold LT+flick layup shots that are automatic gimmes It's more complicated this way but it solves the problem you all are pointing out. You should probably wait and see until you play it before you decide if you like it or not.

@Pared, so the flick flick shots are gone this year ? I only used it in the post with big men sometimes but it was nice.

I believe Chase said it would be later this week, so I'd imagine we'll see something either tomorrow or Friday.

I have to say that I am looking forward to this greatest mode. Playing in black and white games with grainy commentary and era specific styles and rules is a nice touch. I just hope that some tweaking time was put into the myplayer mode and the game is more conscious of stats overall when it comes to created players. Being more specific, I couldn't stand when "myplayer" or just a created player would have a great half only to get snubbed during the halftime report.. Overall 2k11 is the greatest basketball sim I've ever played and I can't wait to see what this seasons edition brings to the court.

No I'm just saying if you do it this way you incorporate user control into the mix instead of just a dice roll.
