NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #10 - Controls

Question about pulling the chair, so do you just pull the stick away while you are being backed down or does timing come in to play. Curious to see how this will work because it can be a huge weapon when playing someone who uses the Magic and is trying to out muscle you in the post.

Yeah that would be a good question. It seems like the post game will be a game within itself. Yeah it would be good if you can trick the offense to think you are trying to fight them in the post, counter their backdown, and then bam pull the chair. I think this is how it will be implemented. I hope the ref doesn't call the flop all the time, just let them lie on the ground lol sometimes while Dwight dunks

This all sounds great just like I've been saying. I figured that Defense would be the last insight but I guess I was wrong. Anyway, I applaued 2k once again can't wait to try out demo and then wake up on that long awaited morning and after classes/work go get my hands on that game.

I consulted my high school coach (who's good friends with Mike D'Antoni and is now involved with the Knicks organization) on this issue. He's said it's perfectly legal to pivot after a hop-step if both feet land simultaneously.

When you do a staggered gather, the first foot to land becomes your pivot. When you hop-step and both feet land at the same time, you can essentially choose which foot landed "first", making that your pivot foot.

Will Real FG% be in the game again this year? I really enjoyed that addition to 2K11.

Haha, well hopefully with this year's soundtrack and if we get custom music on PC she won't cry too much when I get down with 2K12
