Good to hear man I am loving everything I am hearing from Da Czar and Mike. Sounds like Rose was taking most of the shots like he does in real life. Fisher doesn't have the speed anymore needed to stay in front of that man. Kobe is an ok defender not at the level he once was but he wouldn't be able to contain Rose as well. There are very few players in the world that can stay in front of Rose consistently. I am glad this is represented in 2K12 and they mentioned it in the first paragraph and one of the goals. In 2K11 you couldn't "feel" the speed of a Westbrook or Rose.

thanks man...appreciate the effort coming on here and responding to the community...

What time does the demo come out again? lol Maybe i should go to one of these gears parties so i can stay up and play the 2k demo at like 3:30am.

Question -
So does the Shot Quality Feedback % replace the old Shot feedback? It's still nice to know when a shot didn't fall because the release is off, where as it sounds like it's all merged into one considering all factors.

Either way, you don't have a pivot to establish. Both feet leave the ground on both cases and land at the same time.

Again, refs let people get away with this in the NBA, ESPECIALLY Lebron. Still makes it a travel. Pro hop, hop step, jump stop, crab dribble, whatever you want to call it...

Shot Quality Feedback incorporates shot timing but there's still a separate indicator for early/perfect/late release. You can turn them on or off individually.

Exactly. Any time two feet leave the ground the only move left is to have both feet explode again. Any step after the landing is a travel. I made a living going baseline and hop stepping middle in college.
