The alley oop had been addressed since the build we played.

As far as physics, momentum, and unrealistic junk in the paint I think you will see a HUGE difference here from 12. It will never be perfect, but it was greatly improved!

Van, how about shot fakes, is it still a quick tap of the shot button/stick? Is it even in the demo?

vannwolfhawk - Did you see any hand-off passes? I haven't heard anyone talk about hand-offs. In 2K12, the receiver pauses momentarily when they get the ball, but they should still be in motion.

Vann,

Thanks for taking the time out of your schedule to come visit with us and share your thoughts and opinions. It was a great day for us, and the feedback we got from all of the Team Up members will only serve to make NBA 2K13 a better game for everyone.

I saw 1 and it was beautiful. This was on my notes of things to address going in especially for the user to user dribble handoff animation. I agree it was really bad in the last game. Although the CPU to CPU was decent and good imo. It happened randomly though as there were no plays called in our build:-) I hope the 1 that I did see is a preview of things to come?! Regardless it was on the notes and seen by Rob.
