Passed out of them but I rarely doubled the post. I played Shaq straight up.

When you drove to the basket did you see a different layup animation each time?

Any Derrick Rose-esque layups where he tucks the ball like a runningback?

Did any of your or the computer players change up their layups to avoid getting blocked?

Do big men change shots (not necessarily block) at the rim better?

Improved. No slowdown on breaks at all.

Sorry guys. Just got a text from 2k that there is an embargo until Tomorrow at 9am. I'll have to pull the article down and can't answer anymore questions until then.

[aholbert32]

Reopened. The My Player part of my impressions has been removed and won't be aded back until the embargo ends tomorrow. The rest of the article is back up. Can answer questions about anything but My Player.

wait...Da_Czar said he was playing 12 minute quarters on legends mode...i take it that you didn't check out that option? I refuse to play 5 min games in legends mode...i want to earn those teams by winning in full 12 min quarter games...

I would say its improved but not perfect. I would say 90% of the time it went to the right person but I did have some issues on the break. I don't use icon passing so I was happy to see it was improved.
