I can't believe anyone trusted anything he had to say about a 2k game. He works for EA. Some of the Vets here should have known that.

Too often people would frantically hit the Shot Stick or button at the end of a clock, which would log a tap rather than a press, and the result would be a pump fake. Nothing worse than not even getting a shot off when having a chance to win the game." There have been so many instances where I rush to get a shot off at the end of a game and end up ball faking instead. That's pretty cool.

Also liked that part about players being forced to pick up their dribble if they try to go baseline repeatedly and are stopped.

DC is happy about something 2k related (the Date is 09/29/2009-must make a note of this).....jk DC

Amen, amen. I had this happen to me once and I nearly broke my controller.

He runs a website that gives out game information. He historically has promoted ea games. Back when APF first dropped he tried the same thing in regards to giving "unbiased" info. When it comes to his opinions and reviews he has more ea slant than a Kwame fade.

There is nothing wrong with that but tell people that.

Good read. They made great improvements inn this game and they step up every year. The alley-oops from the sideline/baseline sounds great and can't wait, the adjustments to the shot stick, etc. Can't wait only a few days left.

So does this mean they have special jumpers for situations where time is running out? I didn't see any in the demo.
