I think you can do both without shooting.

Mike's insight should cover this. It's NOICE !

The ball is live. I didn't see any balls go into the crowd but I was told fans will react to it when it goes toward them. Didn't ask if they would throw it to the ref. I only played the first quarter of about seven games (I tried to play with as many teams as possible) so the choice crowd sounded good but the action didn't dictate them going nuts so early. I also had the sound down a little because I was recording the interview (audio only). They wouldn't let me record gameplay.

Thanks Czar. I'm trying to remember as much as possible but I sat and talked with Rob for like an hour, which cut into my playing time but I love talking hoops. Starting debating about D-Rob vs. The Dream.

Good question. I'm racking my brain trying to remember if they were in there. I don't want to give you a definitive answer if i don't know for sure. Sorry man.

So Jr, contest is more contextual now, but does the players still jumps unintendedly when doing the contest against fakes ?

Let me depict you my problem, so you may likely recognize if you saw what bugged me happen in your limited time with the game:

Lets say a post shot were to be taken and I pressed the hands up contest, oftenly in 2k11, my player would "jump" with one hand up ... in the paint that sometimes resulted in a shooting foul or in a block, thus the point was that the player jumped without me wanting him to do so.

The above problem was kind of passable because of the narrow space (unless I faced a fake shot spammer), thus it reached to a bothering degree when it occured in the perimeter, while the likelihood of a shoot were about to happen ... I went with my defender to try and "contest" the shot by pressing the hands up (not the swat/block/jump button, again) and my player would just jump with one hand up ... this had 2 really bad consecuences for something I didnt intended: the opponent either got a shooting foul or he drove by me as I was in the air.

Finally, while you were on contest mode in the paint, did you player felt like some physical presence, or was it like last year, kind of no existant when the opponent could still do a layup pushing you back while the animation ran ?

P.S:
I know what you told me DaCzar (which honestly conforted me, a lot), but just reading what JR said abut the 1 hand animation, made me fear that the jumping is still in the game ... contest is putting your hand(s) up only without your feets leaving the floor (basic defense 101) ... and jumping is just trying to block or alter a shot by in mid air ... I am a contest guy and dont want my player to unintendedly jump.

They know about this. You don't have to worry.
