Hmm very interesting. I have to admit this they took what needed to be improved on in the passing game in 2K and made it more about the ratings and AI smarter passing. As long as it can't be cheesed with alley oops I see no problem with it. I think the only option in any basketball game is to give the user complete control with crazy button combinations if you want total control for a bounce or lob, alleys or you have to take somethings out of the user hands and let the "ratings" and abilities determine things. I actually expect 2K to have something similar or total control passing

Yea, they just pooped all over SA, again. Heh....

Seriously, THAT'S apart of what I was saying in my comment earlier. That damn, unnecessary defensive squat that has plagued this series for a while. THEN u get that squat/strafe deally virtually the whole time when trying to defend and even when dribbling. That HAS to go.

I have mixed feelings about this passing mechanic. It makes sense and sounds good, but it doesn't seem like it's going to cut back on profanity-inducing moments when I aim the stick at one guy and pass it to someone else. All it's going to do is create an excuse. But yes, I have icon passing I can always go back to, but then this just means 2k or Live can't do analog passing right. At this point it's probably too early to pass judgment so we'll see.

good read, i look forward to what they will be bring out, i already preordered 2k13 (pc version), going to wait to see live 13 gameplay before i preorder it, hopefully they release it for vita,

the body still look hunched and cartoony from that screen (but the colors look great, unlike 2k color palette , but have to wait for a clearer image to judge

Confirmed dribble moves with the right stick!
