And for the love of God, give us an update so we can have the home/away accessories. If Live can do it, I KNOW 2K can do it.

For accessories I wait for Rondo Is God to do them. His are great

It's just a personal thing. Ill be canceling my pre order. Sent from my mobile device.

i think the difficult thing about the player movement right now is that it's somewhat unpredictable due to all the added contextual animations going on...it makes it a bit harder to predict how your player will move...the game seemed to take on this "variable animation" quality in 2k12.

Say what you will about the player movement in 2k11, but what made the control feel good was consistency. There was less variety to the animations, so you always knew how your player would move...it was simpler and a thus bit easier to grasp.

anyway, i don't necessarily think their control philosophy is a bad thing, but it's going to take some getting used to. as gamers we've been trained that when you do specific motion on your controller, you get a specific movement from the character. we have been trained that every time you do that motion, you will get the same exact animation...now I feel like my player kind of has a mind of his own. i still need to adjust.

I'm pretty sure hes talking about official NBA2K art updates not PC mods.

Lol People on these forums talk like there are game developers, just spewing nonsense.

I'm talking about Xbox 360 hex edited rosters. Had them all last year. If you are looking for accessories home/away and all unlocked jersey's and some cyberfaces.

I wish 2K could get crowd atmosphere correct someday. Thunder-Heat should have a playoff type atmosphere and you can barely hear the crowd at times although I think the crowd does a better job of reacting to whats going on on the court. Just take the feature from Live 10 of choosing crowd atmosphere but give it a different name. "Crowd noise" will do fine for me lol.

I just signed up to quote this . Where are these moves it allowed more of a mix up on offense especially if you cancel the shot into a dribble drive now it seems it ends in a pumpfake.

Also the shot stick just adds a more casual friendly game play whereas in 12 if you wanted to pat the ball down court for example Evan turner hold LT and rock back and forward with left stick. you had to actually have learned the controls it wasn't that hard to do but only a few players knew how to do it. now everyone can do it with CS. I never had problems with which way I wanted to dribble last years game once I mastered that.

A real quick shuffling thing otherwise known as sliding?
