Heard about you from this thread - http://www.operationsports.com/forum...s-nba-2k9.html

Great vids btw, Im going to watch the Alley-Oop one soon.

[bowdown2shadi]

Just watched the Oop one. Great vid man. 2 things I liked about your vids
1) Even though their 6-10 minutes long, they dont bore me and I watch the whole thing
2) Im not a noob at this game, and there are somethings I find new in your vids.



Oh and "IT DOESNT MATTER!" Haha! Nice.

Hey Zihin, I have a question for you - have you ever played the PS3 version? I ask because last year I took a lot of your defensive tips on 2K8 to heart, and have develped pretty decent defense with a similar awareness as yourself, just usually without the execution

But my problem is, on the PS3 when I pull L2 to square up that doesn't happen, he just stays in a protective stance with the ball. So whenever I try to do an alley-oop they always just pass it clear across the court to whoever's on the perimeter.

I've felt for a long time like the PS3 is unfairly gimped and this will make me more frustrated if it just isn't possible to square up LOL. I can tap L2 and do a ball fake that gets be square, but I can't just square up like you do manually. Add this to the list of things like the unexplainable half-second lag online and I really wish I had an Xbox only for this game, a lowly sports title that should be so easy to port.

Hey Zinn do you have a vid on shooting the jumpshot? Really need help there before I can enjoy this game. All your vids are very informative can't wait to learn them all and put them into my strategy.
