After a few games of play, the pace seems a bit fast to me. More arcade-like, but I'm sure it's because it's only one quarter. Would be nice if the actual game is more of a real pace. Realistic 12 minute quarters would be impossible at the demo's game pace.

If you flick it you'll get a very short crossover that doesn't cover a lot of space, however, say with Westbrook, instead of flicking it you hold it in one direction. The movement then becomes much more dramatic and feels as well as looks like you're selling the crossover. In fact, do whatever you can to get Harden in the game, because that is the most fun you'll have dribbling. EVER. Dude literally has the smoothest ball handling in the demo.

Once I realized that I couldn't sub against the CPU, I literally started a game a immediately committed 6 intentional fouls with Thabo just so I can get Harden in ... and he was definitely worth it. His handles are fun and I pulled off some incredible drives to the bucket. I don't think I've ever had so much fun missing lay ups before. But literally, some of the contested lay up animations were so smooth looking that is was awesome even when I missed.

Has anyone seen the one-hand bounce pass on the fastbreak yet? ....I'm talking about the control one with (LT) and the pass button.

Everytime I do it, it is the slow two-hand bounce pass, which is not realistic on a fastbreak. Usually on a fastbreak the player throws it with one-hand. Maybe it is a passing attribute like for Steve Nash or somebody.

Edit: Just did it with Lebron

What do you know? The shot stick is growing on me.....once people change the controls to camera relative/ get on their desired cam- dribbling will make so much sense to them...

It's really not unresponsive at all.

I'm not swing you guys block issue either....IMO it's miles better than 2k12

Also have to remember that we're playing with probably the two best fastbreak squads in the league. Both teams have the athletes to change ends in a flash. I'd actually be a little worried if the pace felt slow and methodical with these two teams. But yeah, hopefully not every team/game feels this frantic.

At first I thought it just switched between the teams every match but then it happened to me also for like 10 straight matches...I thought it was maybe because you win with them you can keep them or something stupid like that because I didn't "lose" in any of those matches and when I did I got the Thunder.

But I doubt it's for that reason... Still strange but it's what ever.

Play 20-30 full games (a couple of nights) and I bet the controls will start to feel natural.

Exactly. People are just lazy nowadays. And want this world to be a big, easy handout. How about actually working to achieve something for once.

Thank you.

People are to quick to judge. Proved my rant from earlier. Good to see you're enjoying the game.

I've won 11 games, lost 5. 16 games still no Thunder, smh.

Well I'm done, cuz the Heat are getting boring. I wanted to test out Harden and PJIII.
