It was confirmed in this thread. Beluba is Mike Wang, the developer who wrote this blog, so anything he posts on this site can be taken as fact.

man all these advancements sound good, hopefully we can get some real sim gameplay to better showcase these features. all the leaked gameplay that came out made my eyes bleed with their 2 second run n chuck offense

Hall of fame badges for each archetype is dope, interested in seeing what they are for sharpshooters/shot creators.

700 animations in just the post game but I was wondering how many animations in total have been added this year?

Mike, excellent post.. Question regarding the new post up game, you mentioned the dream shake, are we going to have signature moves like that? If so, will the ai utilize the post up moves especially when playing as classic teams? I want to see the ai dominate inside with Shaq, the dream, Wilt, Ewing and others.

No. For ideal Pro Stick aiming, you always pull straight down toward 6 o'clock or straight up to 12, whether you're in Broadcast or 2K or any other camera.

As for the boost you get with Aiming, I don't want to give you the exact number because that conversation could spiral out of control. But the boost is noticeable if you're really good with aiming. Of course, if you're inconsistent with it, it actually might be to your benefit to shoot with the Shot Button.

I like to think of the aiming mechanic as driving manual or turning off driving assists in a racing game. If you suck, you should probably stick to Automatic with assists on (shoot with the button), but if you're really good on the sticks you'll probably see a boost to your %'s if you exclusively use the Pro Stick.
