Agreed. Blown dunks aren't very common in the NBA, kinda like broken ankles. There are maybe a dozen or two a season, and they always wind up on blooper reels and SportsCenter's Not Top 10.

I love 2K logic: contested 3's and midrange jumpers are cool, but uncontested layups and dunks? No can do. I lost count of how many dunks bounced out and layups hit the bottom of the rim in 2K12.

Id argue that blown dunks arent very common because most players dont just try to dunk every single time. Stamina does play a lot into whether or not you can get up there. In essence, if in the game the blown dunks are happening because the user is holding down the turbo button to finish aggressively (activating the dunk command) and then blowing the dunk, i feel that is accurate. Smarter players would learn not to abuse the turbo button or try to dunk the ball every time unless you are on of the special players who can (lebron, blake griffin, dwight howard).

Not all 7 footers are capable of dunking every single time, just like not all athletic freaks (derrick rose for example) dunk every time.

I guess 2k could have just designed it so that if your stamina wasnt high enough you do a layup automatically, but i feel this method might be better suited for users to adapt a reward/punishment concept when constantly just attacking the rim.

cmon man, having bounce passes is awesome because it adds a fundamental element to the game. But no one is gonna want to have the ability to throw 100% accurate passes every single damn time. Westbrook shouldnt be throwing dimes like hes steve nash. We love having the bounce pass ability, we just want to make sure its not going to turn into a chesse mechanism (and vice versa; no one wants a completely innacurate bounce pass system that simply cant be used)

I think its better to complain and mention it now, especially considering how much 2k loves community feedback, because that way they can do some quick tune ups before the game is officially released.

Its not like people have been crying that they should take bounce passes out....if that happened then you would be right with peoples reactions...

You know it COULD be a function of fatigue and dunk difficulty.

I am digging what I saw from the gameplay!!! It was essentially a barebones display of what could be done on the court. I wish they would of used some of the stepbacks, triple threat moves, a little more variety with the post game etc. I am loving the pick and roll system. It looks like the pic and pop will be deadly this year!

I also love the motion of the offense as well. Constant movement and players cutting to the basket. I could not use slashers as efficiently in 12 because of unrealistic paint contact etc. A lot of my complaints from 12 look to have been addressed!!

I don't mean to nitpick or anything but, idk... LBJ's headband placement looks kinda odd. Just saying fellas....no harm.

I know everyone is loving the motion on offense I am too but what about the teams who are sometimes naturally stagnant(team tendency) like MIA or ATL I mean I love the constant motion but constant motion is something these teams are not

I hear what you are saying...but how is it better to complain now when you haven't even played the game yet? You've seen enough gameplay to make the assumption already? Let's just wait for the game to drop people.

BTW..game looks like a huge improvement over 2k12 gameplay wise...the controls look more reactive...didn't see any suction defense...the new dribble moves and controls look NICE...and the contact animations look amazing and unintrusive....I can't wait for this game I'm pretty amped.
