Why do the Bulls AGAIN have black socks/shoes at home? Same goes for the Blazers and the Kings!!! If this is no new playoff feature in 2K12, i really hope it's not the same stupid bug like last year when the game was released.! But it looks like it! :-(

This is already sounding like the best sport video game of... well, ever.

Best insight X100.
I was a beast with d12 in 2k11, now i will be unstoppable. Before d12 really developed his post game his main move was the drive across the paint from the post followed by a flooter/hookshot. I couldnt really do that in 2k11. I had to faceup, then try and run across the paint but the defender would bump into me and throw everything off. Now i can drive to key after using the lean back move, then use the floater/leaner. Which is what he does irl. Or i can use the aggressive backdown, then use the dropstep dunk. Or i can post up 12 ft out, shoulder fake the get in the defender mind that im thinking about going to the basket, use the create space move, then use the outside faceup, then bank it off the backboard. Or i can faceup, drive to spin, and finish at the basket with a dunk. His low post game has really developed after working with hakeem in the offseason and now i can mimic all his moves in 2k12.

OMFG its so many options. Now im not forced to do up and unders, or dropstep wait a sec. because of animations then dunk, or the kobe shimmey left shot right move which d12 never does any of. I was forced to use these because the post game was so limited.

Does anyone know what the difference is between outside faceup, and inside faceup. Im trying to picture in my head how the insight explain it but i just don get it.

That move is exactly what d12 added to his arsenal and he got it from working with hakeem in the off season. I was talking about doing this same move in my last post above this. Drive to spin will fake inside towards the paint, then spin towards the basket, then you finish it off with the dunk. It think it will be a lil harder to faceup, then jab inside, spin, then dunk. Once you face up i think you would have to do each of those moves separately. Because once you faceup you can no longer use post moves. From the post it looks like it will fake inside and spin all in one move, then you just have to dunk it.



Pleas tell me these move do not look exactly the same and d12 finished on the other side of the rim making it almost impossible to block his shot from behind. Anyone still thinks d12 post is still limited? lol

Way to many. I wont ever get predictable with all the moves. I might aggressively back you down 2 times in a row, but the third i will normaly back you down and you try and pull the chair on me cause you think im using aggressive. But fooled you, as you back away you leave me open for the easy dropstep dunk, or easy floater.

I hope rating play a major part in this. I dont want to see Ronny Turiaf postup, fake spin towards the paint, then shoot a fadeaway

EDIT: After reading the insight again it looks like you can use the dribble disengage to faceup then use branch into low post moves.

Quote:

Dribble Disengages –Similar to the Faceup moves where you face the basket following the move, the Dribble Disengage moves do the same, except you’re performing them from a dribble. The first move is the simple Dribble Disengage, which essentially turns your player 180 degrees to face the basket while maintaining his dribble. The second move is the Stepback, where the player jabs his inside foot into the defender and follows it up with a hop back to create space. Both moves are a quick way to create potential space to get off a jumper or drive by a slower defender. You can even queue the shots or drives during the moves for quicker results.

Guess i will be using training camp alot to learn how to do this.
