Let's say Demarcus Cousins grabs a rebound in traffic. I wanna do a quick hop step into closer position, pump fake, then go for the layin/dunk

to expand on what the czar posted, Hop steps are built into the shot system now.

So if you're driving toward the basket and want to do a hop step, Hold LT and move the Shot Stick left or right. As your player begins the hop step move, if you keep the Shot Stick held, he'll play out the rest of the hop step layup. But if you center the Shot Stick before he finishes the hop, he'll pump fake at the end of the hop step move. From here, you can do nothing or you can move the Shot Stick again (while the player's pump faking) to shoot a step through layup.

Same if you're in the post. Hold LT and move the Shot Stick away from the rim and to the left or right. This will put your player into the Hakeem Olajuwon hop step jumper move. Center the stick to just do the hop, or keep it held to finish with a jumper.

I think youre talking about the drive camera, as I share the same views about it as you do.

Thanks for the clarification Mike, tomorrow is going to be fun and frustrating trying to to get some these moves down.

This game is just....wow. Amazing

Is there a scenario that dictates everytime I go up against Ray Allen I make him fall using Jamal Crawford? I don't care if it's a canimation I think it's only fair to have in game for realism sake.

I see Practice Mode/Training Camp is going to be my BFF for the first couple of weeks again LOL.

Every year I tell myself, "Man I'm gonna get these controls down pat like my man Mo has them" and then a few months later I got like 6-8 moves down

Love how hop steps work. So you can hop step with momentum going towards the basket, or around your defender in the post, not through.

Perfect.

I'm not going to hold out hope that it's in the game this year, but how awesome would it be to have a "hangar" mode like Live 10 in the demo to practice all these moves? That could be a demo in itself!

I can dream though!
