Slide animation? I probably have seen this but I don't know exactly what you're talking about so I don't want to see I did or didn't see it. I do know the perimeter play felt more physical. I know I mentioned this before but the AI would use its off arm to create space when I crowded the dribbler on the perimeter. I know I didn't answer your question, but I'd rather tell you I don't know for sure than give you misinformation.

to kinda play off this; How was good on ball defense portrayed? Would they ride you off of your path and cut off angles? you have been a great help to us thirsty 2k fans.

Thanks man. If I remember correctly I did see the AI body me up on the perimeter and I do remember doing it to them. You can ride them a little but if I'm remembering this correctly the animation isn't as overpowering. What I mean by that is you can break out of animations easier this year. And that goes for all aspects of the game. Like Rob said on gametrailers last night, you are not just watching it play out but you're creating it more this year. Hope I kinda answered the question.

Did you see any of the snapback perimeter defense we have in 2k11? Sometimes you could beat a guy off the dribble only to have his body defy gravity and place him right back in front of you.

I know they tweaked the free throw indicator. This year it's a success percentage number. I didn't play with the shot indicator on but I think you can see it in the gametrailers footage from last night. I'm watching it now and it shows shot quality and then gives you a grade.

They filled lanes and looked to dive toward the rim. I didn't see them flare out to the 3-point pine too much on the break though I did hit a corner 3 with Monta on the break. But I used the lead pass to lead him toward the perimeter. Monta did feel explosive. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Thanks, i can understand what you mean by not playing 2k11 with the Warriors as much. Just 1 last question, assuming you used the Warriors at home was their court golden?
