It's still camera-relative by default (so pull away from the rim.) You can change the ProStick to be absolute if you want though. That's how a lot of guys choose to play.

Mike another question of mine is...will the ability to split the pick and roll be available this year or in the future? I imagine it would be difficult to implement but it is a key component of guard play in the NBA. *fingers crossed*

Mike I'm not on that hype train yet but with you answering these questions is sorta making it hard not to hop on.

So...uh what do you have planned for the shot stick next year? Please don't make it that I have to press down then up to shoot....I like the pull and release method.

Bro im not sure how far along 2k17 is and id imagine its basically done but do you think you can put a word in on allowing users to be able to switch teams during practice mode if its not already possible? Its so annoying having to back all the way out of practice mode to switch teams. Its minor but would be much appreciated.Thanks bro

Really loving all the news i been reading. Been playing Baskettball games for almost 30 years starting on an old Commodore 64, played all the NBA 2K games and it just keeps getting better and better.

I do hope that for us MyLeague players there is now an option to just control one team and being able to take control of another without having to control the all though.

I like my game decisions to possibly make the difference between a 30 win team and a 40 win team. Or a 50 win or so team and take them over the top so they can get to the finals. Just wonder how many people are out there like me. I want to influence the outcome of a game but not make Tony Wroten average 40 a game because I know how to use him.

I think that's what the developers are aiming for this year! They want to reward users who actually know how to use the controls in the right way. Therefore, separating the casual and the hardcore gamer, leading to guys being able to take a team like the 76ers to the chip, just cause you're good with the sticks.
(Just a side note: 76ers roster isn't too bad though. In the game they could be a decent team to control)

It would be nice, so that one could practice with more players/teams without backing in/out...especially when it comes to custom teams.

Would also be nice to have full defensive setting control in Scrimmage. To be able to set P'n'R strategies, individual defensive settings, etc. Lots of serious players would like to be able to practice various defensive schemes in the Scrimmage setting.

And, please: Scrimmage and Practice Plays in MyTeam, not just Freelance.
