yep..it's a contact physics issue. hopefully 2k implemented contact on these types of animations this year and we will see a lot more physics-based auto charges...the offensive player needs to be punished for trying to plow into defenders willy nilly with hop steps and spins. physics is the way to do this - physics don't lie. in 2k12, you could be very careless about when you attempted these moves because you could just nudge defenders aside or morph right through them...but hopefully in 2k13 you will have to be careful or risk picking up a charge, or just being stopped with contact.

Sweet! I love it!
I play on PS3 and if I ever had to press anything besides square to shoot, I would be pissed. I've never liked the shot stick at all! One advantage I always liked of Live more than 2k was using the right stick for tricks, so this sounds great to me. I'm even more pumped than I was before!

NBA 2K13's defenders ankles - not so much.

Can you comment on there being 100% successful moves this year? Like the hop step,spinning dunk and up and unders that were in past 2ks. Also will layup/dunking animations push defenders out of the way like before? Very huge aspects for me personally.

And another thing the directional passing was off i only icon pass that was on point as always thats the way i manuver around the court and i play in the paint keep the controls the way they is!!!!!!!!!!

SOO damn excited for this. Especially the new dribbling controls. Based on the video, it looks like it is actualy possible to conpletely fake out the on ball defender this year, something that couldnt be done in 2k11. Thats huge.
