That thread was getting pretty long.

It was put up back when Live 09 came out so it has been about a year...

Well let's start this thing off the right way...

This was a question originally posted for Beluba, and I know there is a gameplay blog coming out soon so if you can't answer some of this I understand. The rest of you dev's can chime in as you see fit...
2K's post game was awesome until all of the moves became predictable because they were animations. I like to run my offense through the post so if there is no real threat, the defense doesn't collapse. Also I hope you have put an animation in for a big to hold the ball up and away from the smaller guards coming to strip the ball. I would like to see bigs draw the double team to create open shots and clean cuts to the basket.

The triple threat is one of the most important weapons of isolation players. I was under the impression that the 1st step rating was instrumental in how successful the triple threat moves would be. If it isn't, it should be.

Finally, was there a way to incorporate pass fakes out of the triple threat but mainly in the post in back to the basket situations.

Will there be any tutorial videos with Marv and Steve like in the good old days showing us how to pull off all the freestyle dribbles and moves?

I ask because in other NBA games there's no reference to how to pull off all the shots in the post and trigger all the dribbling animations on the run when getting passed opponents.

Will every team have a distinct play style where they play close to their real life counterpart?

Will there be realistic AI on offense and defense? In 2k9 they have a problem where the cpu will shoot too good. Will live be a lot different and good at having the cpu shoot a realistic fg%, of course depending on our defense too.

Create a Team feature this year? (Incase New Zealand is left out of FIBA teams). Thanks.

I meant to ask this and don't remember if I did.

Are the all-star weekend festivities back?
