I did not see that. The one thing I can say when I played is I never felt cheated by the AI in all areas. When I got beat I could see why I did. I remember playing as Oscar Robertson and the defender giving me space and shading me to my left. But I did get around the defender only to have his help on the baseline stop my path. But no I didn't encounter that problem. I hope that wasn't because I was playing on pro and that it might creep in at higher difficulties. I can't say that won't happen but I can tell you that I didn't run into it.

I did use them at home and the court looked right to me. But please remember that I'm most likely not as particular about the shading of their court as someone who plays on it 41 times a season. I can tell you are a big warriors fan and it wouldn't be fair of me to say one way or the other because I didn't play on that court much last year. But from what I saw, i thought it looked good.

Ok thanks for the answers. Looking at a screen shot of Monta Ellis in 2k12 here at OS it looks like they have the Warriors court right this year(gold instead of yellow) Thats was a biggie for me as a GSW fan. Thanks again!

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.

Most def... final question, do post shots have release points?

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.

You know the cut off move the cpu does on defense, like when you go one way they slide that way to cut you off

When I was playing I released the stick at the top of the shot like a normal shot. The one thing that really stuck out to me was the ease in which I could pull off up and unders. With the Y button controlling the backdown I didn't have to pull triggers to do an up and under. Just made things flow better in the post. I could imagine what some of you guys are gonna be able to do in the post this year.

But to answer your question, I would say yes. But like I said I was shooting in the post like I shoot on the perimeter, releasing at the top of the shot.

I think I remember what you're talking about. I didn't notice that. The only time I would see that might have been on pick and rolls where the guy who's hedging out bumps the guard to impede his progress.

Going to go work. Probably won't be able to answer anymore questions until tomorrow though I think I've given you all the info I have. I will check back and do my best to answer more but I bet the Czar's preview will shed even more light and answer the questions I can't. Later guys.
