Is that run-into-defender-and-back-up-like-you-were-punched-and-stunned-for-two-seconds animation still in the game? Did you see it?

Who had the best (new) cyberface amongst the teams/players you saw?

I think Javale had a new one. Didn't look at Dre.

Still in the game.

How was the crowd? Noise and animations the same?

To expand on the earlier question: Did it make sense when it happened? Did it feel random at all? Or could you tell that it was your own fault (IE running into the defenders chest with a smaller player)?

[ifriedrice]

Did you notice any "floaty" dunks?

I know it's been asked in the past, but I don't remember seeing it answered (unless I missed it). Is the hop-step button in the game? If not how does it work?

It was my fault not random. Trying to force a play.
