Fatigue seemed the same as last year. Keep in mind though, I was only playing 5 min quarters.

No Zone D.

Felt good. Its all matchup related. I was stonewalled when trying to post up Shaq with Ewing. I was forced to face him up and shoot jumpshots. Matched up against Tree Rollins or Jeff Turner, I was able to easily back them down and use post moves to score.

I basically shot turn arounds with Durant so I didnt do much with him in the post.

Did they mention anything about it looking as good as the 360 version ?

I did. 2k says everything can be updated now. The court, the crowd, the jerseys, tattoos, haircuts etc. An example I was given is if fans at MSG start regularly waiving towels or wearing blue shirts, 2k will go in and change the crowd at MSG. Same goes if Kobe decides to get a face tattoo.

What I didnt get an answer about is whether these changes work in active franchises. I start my franchise with the start of the NBA season and would hate to not be able to use a new teams court unless I start my franchise over. I have a feeling that these changes will be attached to roster updates and wont be transferable to active franchise.

No discussion about the PS3.

whoa....did you ask if this is done through roster update?

[kolanji]

do the commentators announce it as soon as u change ur defense?
is the intentional foul still a suction animation?
does the pass fake animation seem more realistic n more effective?

[bigball12]

Did they fix the clear path foul rule so that you shoot two free throws now instead of one?

[rosque]

Are there an indications about walk animations? I mean, did you noticed them?
