If they knew you mean it that way? Um... yeah.

I think on the first episode of Fresh Prince, Will Smith told Uncle Phil that the plane ride from Philly to LA was "stupid." Uncle Phil took offense, and Vivian had to tell him that he meant it was good.

So yeah, you take words by what the speaker means, not what the dictionary says it means.

Well about time because I remember only blocking one dunk and from then on I was never able to to it again on NBA 2k13. This is a much needed addition being that they have the Eraser ability(that should've included blocking dunks.) But I'm still not sold yet, once I actually have my hands on the game I will see for myself.

You cited a hypothetical statement in which you call someone "stupid," but in your mind, you're not calling them dumb or un-knowledgeable-- you're calling them awesome.

If they know when you say "stupid," you mean "awesome," that's exactly how they should take it.

I'm not trying to bash your use of words, I'm trying to understand it. I just wanted to know what you meant by feature.

I said it earlier in the thread:

It's the first news regarding gameplay, and it was released as a single, solitary piece of news. I don't think saying that 2K is treating it like a "feature" is much of a stretch, especially when the thread title has the word "Features" in it, and it's being touted as a whole new engine/system, and just a slight tweak.

To this day I still press it accordingly and I don't know why because the dunks are pretty much context now. With the new block dunk system in place that useless from dunk to layup move will finally be useful.

On Xbox 360 it was I believe:

rt+up = normal/signature dunk
rt+right = two handed rim hang dunk
rt+left = hop step dunk
rt+down = reverse dunk
rt+down or rt+diagonally away from basket close to paint = 360 dunk

On PS3 it might of been totally different I'm not sure. Yeah, once in awhile on dunks I still catch myself also pushing the RS to the right, I guess just out of sheer habit from doing it so much in 2k11 lol.

Hopefully, they add back a more advanced dunk controls system in the game for the sticks. I miss not having the same level of control over my dunks like I used to. The ability to perform signature layup moves like you used to be able to do I hope returns as well.

How can they remove blocks from the game and then bring them back attached to a marketing scheme? 2K sports has gone WAY to mainstream and have little concern with making a COMPLETE simulation game, they are simply giving to eventually take away smh It's not right at all!

I think those rubberbands were made specifically for LeBron and wont be available to use. I would never give 2K that much credit seeing as how CAP accessories have only gotten worse over the years and LeBron IS the cover athlete so...
