You also have the ability to direct where the screener goes after he sets the screen (roll in a particular direction, pop out, etc), but I haven't perfected this control yet.

Amazing. They captured Gasol's All-Star caliber flopping perfectly.

For a moment there, I thought 2K Gasol wasn't soft.

You can post it in here.

To me, you can't ask for anything more than that - field goal percentages that are actually determined by defensive intensity and not some other artificial factor.

I feel like if I put a little effort into getting a decent shot, I can hit almost anything with Kobe. I've had several games where he went perfect from the field or close to it, even with taking some very difficulty fadeaways. On the other side of the court, it's the opposite, as Ray Ray will miss too often if I leave him wide open.

Oh yeah, from that aspect I feel what you're saying. It does feel like I can score at will with Kobe, especially with the fadeaway. Hopefully, that has more to do with the difficulty level and gamestyle. If I see that same stuff on Simulation/Hall of Fame, then I'll be concerned.

Does anyone know how to do the dreamshake fade-jumper in the post? The cpu does it all the time, I havent figured it out yet, dont know the post controls in depth

LT (L2) + RT (R2) - Engage post up
Tap RS, then hold RS until sweet spot of shot (ex. tap RS left, immediately hold RS left)

So has anyone encountered the supposed banking three pointer glitch? I want to hear from people that do NOT have a history of hating on the game and have been here longer than six months. No offense to the new folks...

I'm stoning on a consistent bases.

# 1450 youvalss @ 09/18/10 10:37 PM

I've seen it several times and it a bit worries me: I've seen both Ray Allen and Paul Pierce giving up wide open shots (even wide open easy layups) and just dribbing around. Maybe it's because of the "Pro" level, I don't know, I hope that's the reason.

Has anyone seen this?

Yeah, I'm optimistic as well. That's why I was hoping somebody who has played the full game can comment on the issue.

I'm seeing this too. I'm hoping the cpu takes advantage of open shots better on the higher difficulty settings.

Huh?

I'm talking about the case where if you call for a bank shot on a 3 pointer, and release it late, it goes in a lot. I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

This game is so bad at this stage:

1) Dribbling: Players look like robots dribbling the basketball instead of athletic beings doing it in the court. You can't even walk the ball up court which is ridiculous. It just doesn't feel natural to move around the court. Sorry but this game gets an F in this department.

2) Momentum: Players have absolutely 0 weight in this years game. The game feels detached as animations don't transfer smooth and continuous as it should to express the game of basketball.

This is coming from someone who has purchased every single NBA 2K basketball game since 1999 starting with Dreamcast.

it is not consistent so I don't see it as a problem plus hitting 3 when open is not really difficult to do in the first place in the demo you are not going to see a C hitting 3 all of a sudden just by banking it in.

LOL. The guy is either being totally sarcastic, or he's totally baiting. Either way it deserves an

We're referring to the times where a CPU player like Pierce or Allen, who are good jump shooters, is wide open for a jumper but doesn't take it.
