You can see it briefly in the latest trailer. It's such a cool animation. The other awesome one was Rose had numbers on me, as I was getting back he pulled off the palming the ball in his right hand while shuffling his feet, which lost me completely then he threw down his vintage two-handed dunk. It was so cool. 10x

The post up game is really tight. I was able to pull off up and understand with ease. I'm not the greatest isomotion guy so i didn't try to pull off too many of those moves but the post up was awesome. Oh and the jump shooting feels So much better. Way more fluid.

Hey jr2424!

Do aggresive block and steal attempts (i.e. while pressing the R2 button) by the user still cover the same unrealistically large distance, even if you use a big guy like Shaq?

Thanks!

I asked this specifically to Rob and he said it was not in the game. But what I did notice is there are Way more bounce passes in the game at proper times. Passes into the post felt more realistic because the game seemed like it knew when to use the bounce pass more effectively than in any other NBA 2k game I could remember.

Celtics legend John Havlicek dribbled the ball off his leg trying to get to the middle of the floor while surrounded by defenders. This addition will make players more hesitant about trying to dribble through traffic because they might not escape with the ball.

I hope 2K doesn't take this out via Roster Update if too many people complain about it after week 1. You know how they dumb the game down when people complain.

I forgot to ask this question. I assume everything is mapped to the right stick. But the Y button is strictly for backing down.

Good question. Another one I wished I had asked when I had them here. All I know is that Rob said that hop step, step back and spin move were all mapped to the right stick. I will say this though, it is a lot easier to interrupt animations this year. So I could see initiating a hop step move with the rit stick the pressing the pass button to hit an open guy. I didn't pull off any of these moves but I wasn't really trying to. I wish I could give you a better answer to this.

I am hoping that you are right JR. We should be able to hop step and while in mid air make a pass. A la LeBron James
