I thought this way for a while, but then I thought about how about halfway through using 2K I started holding the trigger most of the time when taking shots anyway, just to make separation or do a more technical layup. I think it'll take some getting used to (on PS3 so I haven't had a chance to play it yet) but the more I think about it I'm not too worried. I'm just worried about getting used to using the right stick for moves, it never felt very realistic to me when I was trying to decide between Live or 2K back in the mid-00s when I wasn't into basketball video games. It made the action seem a lot more "gamey" than 2K from what I remember, and I wouldn't be able to control myself from going overboard on moves.

If you want to alley then push X+A. I've done it plenty of times. But sometimes when I want to pass to a teammate I throw it off the backboard to myself. I did this twice with Bosh

Gonna take a little while to get usd to the new RS controls, but I will give 2K the benefit of the doubt that it will be good once it becomes more natural, fighting it at the moment.

The AI, however, is leaps and bounds beyond 2K12 already. Super "Organic" feeling at the moment. The push the break, will look for guys on teh secondary, will break off a "Play" to shoot earlier in the clock sooooo much better than 2K12, which I thought was just terrible in SP.

Reminds me alot of ID2004, just guys playing like they would. Westbrook puling up for midranges, ISO jumpers for Durant, etc..

Really impressed with the AI and movement with the demo.

Screw that. That would be a MESS for controls. I would HATE to have to "point" my facing as well, as move. No offense, but that just sounds like something someone would want to make cheesing easier. Again, no offense.
