1. Yes, there's no more hop step button. Instead, you use the shot stick to perform step backs and hop steps.

2. If you tap RT, you'll do a half spin.

Thanks my man! You solved my puzzle. I gotta go practice more now.

i don't think it's new, my player does that.

For those that don't thoroughly read insights the wrap up is new, and intentional fouls are the same as last year.

It's not that simple. You have to turn off menus and other elements of the game and make sure that the game doesn't crash or break because it's expecting that stuff to be there. It's not a snapshot. Then you have the fact that you have a lot of new code added to the game and you need to make sure it was done right to not break in a demo build. And, sure, this stuff gets put into the schedule. That's not the issue. The issue is that the total time is constant. Any time they add refining or expanding a demo is time away from refining the final game - which is likely the #1 priority of the company.

this game is like 2k7 and 2k11 had a baby

To me, it feels a lot like 2K11, but that's not a bad thing at all. I do like the improvements as far as the physicality of the game. Dirk is an absolute blast to play with. The big three were attacking every chance they got. Looking forward to diving in more when I get off of work.

The only thing is that the controls are just overwhelming to me. There's so much you can do, but I can't perform any of it in a game situation. Isomotion? Forget it. Post moves outside of a jump-hook and fadeaway? Forget it. I'm gonna have to spend a month in practice mode to catch up to the seasoned vets. Crazy, because I've had every single 2K basketball game.

safe to say they will do in the same in the 4th quarter which is my issue.
