Where is the signature gather button? I know it has been replaced as the backdown button (Y) so where did they move it too now?

Just finished playing the demo and I have to say that this game is amazing. Gameplay wise, the game has improved a lot.

Things I noticed:
- The game feels more like a chess match. You really have to use strategy, exploit mismatches, and think more in this game than you have to in the last game.

- You can really see the weaknesses and strengths of offensive players. J. Kidd doesn't have the speed he used to so he can't drive to the basket. Dirk has no strength so he can't back his player into the post as much. I can't say that the game, overall, is making it difficult to drive to the basket though because we aren't able to use a quick PG like Rose or Wall yet. But I will say that its good to see that you will have to think about your players weaknesses more when you play as a certain team.

- It seems like running plays won't be that necessary to play good, sim, basketball. What I mean by that is, plays are nice but sometimes I just want to move the ball around, find the cutter, drive and use common-sense basketball knowledge to play the game. I don't want to always call a play in order for someone to cut to the basket, post up, or have a player run through a screen and get open.

- Dribbler animations are nice. When I want to walk the ball up they have the appropriate animation for it. Same for when I want to push the tempo.

- Defenders seem to play more to their strengths. Chalmers played tight D on Kidd and always when for the steal. Chandler was active when the Heat drove to the paint and always tried to block the shot. Defenders, as a whole, seems more engaged then ever before.

- Graphics and player models are also better than 2K11 but that's a given.

All and all, I think this game is definitely a must buy. I just hope that 2K doesn't follow the trend of recent sports games and gives us a workable, glitch-free, Association mode.

I've never played you when you were the Nets. I do remember eliminating the Knicks recently though.

Beluba said its gone. I'm glad, as I thought it was a bit of a waste of a button.
