Vann will probably expand on this but from my experience I saw the AI take numerous midrange shots -- Westbrook would do it at the drop of a hat. I also noticed a couple of forced shots.

Vann, were you able to test out fake passing off the dribble?

Unfortunately we had sound down the whole Tim so I didn't notice.

Our build was only 1 quarter long. I'm hoping clutch rating being gone takes away from those miracle last second contested shots falling all the time?!

No, I wish I tried it but limited time and never thinking of doing it prevented me from trying.

Yes, I know it was a problem last year but it was a good mix between drive and pull ups from what I saw especially with Westbrook!

Did they mention anything about player art updates in 2k13 vann since they didn't do them last year?

Is the defense still triggered once you press turbo?

Last year as soon as you press turbo in the halfcourt, the defense would slide. It was better off not pressing it.
With sliding and bumping back being reduced, does the defense not get triggered when you press turbo.
