Is that what you mean?

yes thats what I meant.

Layups Dawolf? did you see any improvements in that area? Less lasy and slow layups?

Animation wise like I said more forcefull which I liked a lot. But like I also said in the preview some instances where the animation was played out although there was a defender next to me.

Hey DaWolf,

Thanks again for your yearly impressions from Gamescom.

Question: Are the D-Pad options useful like in 2k11 (subs, quick plays etc) or the non useful options in 2k12 (camera changes, hot streaks).

Hopefully they went back to 2k11 on this one.

Please tell me speed matters this year. Joel Anthony wasn't keeping up with Westbrook was he?

Thanks for the answer man. Do big men finally cut to the rim when their man leaves to help protect the basket? Nothing would burn me up more than getting into the paint and drawing the D only to have my center camping out 20ft from the basket.

Just two simple questions,
1. how would you judge the physics system?
2. How was the offensive players movement and does momentum play apart in isomotion?
