omg yes! lol i cant believe i forgot about that.

if u can see how high he jumped that means its nike+ just wanna confirm

Do the right players explode off the ground to the rim even when laying the ball up or do they still kinda jog and jump kinda half-speed? I mean, is there a visual difference between how Westbrook and LeBron attack the rim through traffic vs how Daequan Cook will try to lay it up?

I knew what you meant.

When he said automatically, I think he meant if you choose to shoot with less than 1 sec. on the clock.

On blocked shots, is it like 2k11 where huge blocks can happen with the right animation, or is it like 2k12 where some big wind-up blocks barely deflect the ball?

sorry have to go. I think you can really look forward to the game. im sure you will like it - its better than 12.
