For those of u that claim you have seen real double teams on hot players I would love to know how? I jus hit for 70 with Manu an saw no doubles whatsoever.

I don't know how. It just happened. Single possession though and Monta cooled down or they called timeout, forget which.

Yeah this is some I don't like!!! I call 2K12 the year of the hook shot layup.

About 70% of the shots around the basket is some sort of hook instead of a basic layup... I wish they patch it but knowing 2K they will not.

I don't know why 2K implimented the change shot button but I never use it because 2K always change my shot when I don't need them too.

Are your sliders different than default?

i may know a partial cause for the speed issue - the garbage turbo trigger. the more i play this game the more i notice that the turbo trigger is straight broken when you are dribbling - it seems like 2k almost decided to take away the ability to control when you want to speed up with the turbo trigger...i also noticed that sometimes the game will give my player an automatic speed boost even though i'm not holding the turbo trigger. other times i will press the turbo trigger and i will see no difference in how fast my player moves. i don't know if they are trying to make running speed contextually automatic in this game and take away user control of speed or what...it seems like the game automatically controls when my player is allowed to speed up. being able to control your player's speed bursts is crucial to feeling in control - taking that control away is absurd.

so when you can't make your ball handler speed up with the turbo trigger and the game forces you into a jog, of course you won't be able to beat a defender.

in 2k11, when you hit turbo, your player moved faster - very simple. the concept of the turbo button has existed in video games for years now...but somehow in 2011, 2k cannot create a simple, working turbo button.

perhaps adding that "throw ahead" sprint animation has somehow messed with how the turbo trigger can work now...or maybe it's also tied to that damn half spin now being done by tapping the turbo trigger (a baffling control choice by 2k...why is the half-spin so crucial that it needs its own button?). at this point i think 2k is just bored and is trying out all kind of crazy control ideas just to see what happens...stick with what works, 2k. 2k11 worked and then they had to get all experimental with things.

another annoying thing about the turbo trigger is that when you press turbo, before your player can move fast, he has to do this weird foot plant that actually slows him down before he can speed up - so pressing turbo actually slows you down more than it speeds you up...a player should be able to smoothly increase his speed without some weird stopping foot plant animation.
