Yeah you can re-create that sequence

Did you guys re-do DeMar DeRozan's player model by any chance? He's way too dark in 2k lol.

Will you guys be including retro dribbling packages next year? It kinda of takes you out of the moment when you see Jerry West do hesitation cross dribbles

When you hop-step and both feet land at the same time, you can essentially choose which foot landed "first", making that your pivot foot.

thankyou.

Pared you're just wrong.

I agree 100%, great acknowledgment of the team's hardwork

are steals fixed this year? how the person who poked the ball loose is suppose to be credited for the steal and not the one who picked up the ball. also sometimes when its a canned block animation, it would count as a steal instead of a block.

speaking of blocks, will recovering blocked shots count as rebounds? it didnt in 2k11

i know it has nothing to do with the insight, sorry

Try that move in any level of basketball and they'll call you for it - there's a reason why. You can't leave your feet and come down in a 1-2 motion with your feet, then start pivoting. It's the same reason they call a travel when you catch the ball, take the steps for a shot, then drive.

What is his name? I have a few friends who work with the Knicks and I'd like to talk to him - I'm sure they can put me in touch. PM it to me if you don't want it on the boards.

Yes! This was really a great addition last year, Mike. Glad to hear it is still there. Thanks for the insight on the controls; practice mode is going to be a necessity this year.

Reading this last night....And I was totally blown away by the improvements in the controls.

"Shot compositing gave us the ability to essentially create a limitless number of sig shots, while still allowing for tons of new shot types without bloating our memory footprint."

You know what, I think all those new plays are bloating up your memory footprint as well. You should make a Create Your Own Play Feature in 2k13

Seriously i've been losing sleep over this create your own shot feature. I can't wait to see all the crazy choices you guys put in the game.
