Like in basketball, you have to "test the waters" with small dribble moves before you attack the defender.

Perfect example would be when Iverson got past Jordan during his rookie season. Iverson didn't hit him with a bunch crossovers. He tested Jordan with a couple of small moves until Jordan bit on one.
This was definitely my issue when I played this morning, along with the camera relative dribbling. I'm used to absolute so that was killing me but my other issue was me spamming the heck out of the stick. Between being overly excited about the new dribbling and trying to cram as much playtime in before work (the constant pauses for 2ku tips didn't help either) I ended up spamming the stick instead of trying to break down a defender intelligently. Can't wait to have another go at it later.

I didn't have a chance to play the actual prelude, just the 2KU part. Are we able to change dribbling to absolute or are we stuck with camera relative for the Prelude?

Compression shorts finally lol!

Not sure whether to spend my measley 400 VC on my attributes or save up for some accessories.

I love the store this year, the way you can put items in your cart and everything is so organized. And the team gear is great you finally get to buy pretty much every jersey/shors/hat for your favorite team.

Don't! Spent 500 on a pair of shorts before realizing that I can upgrade my player lol

Unless you bought vc then go for it....

How do you upgrade your player? I can view all of the cosmetic options but I can't actually mess with the attributes. When I saw Smoove do it, he was on a retail version menu.

Quick question man, once my defender bites, what's the best way to explode past him? This is where I'm messing up constantly

It's odd that I don't see a lot of highlights around here.

I haven't noticed the R2/boost glitch. Is it only Americans that have had the issue? Something off with their version?

Mines has been fine.

Is it possible to change your dribble animations in The Prelude?

I have a playmaker point guard but when I go to select my dribble moves on the player edit screen the only option is the default moves.

Do I have to spend VC and upgrade my playmaking attribute if I want to change the default dribble animations? Or is changing them just not possible in The Prelude?

They added the Crazy 8's again.

Animations are in the sport store and you will need VC to get new animations

It's a bug on PS4 many people are experiencing. You either have to try a different controller or reassign/switch R1/R2. When you switch the Turbo to R1, the R2 still works fine for icon passing and PnR switching. The button/controller isn't broken. It has something to do with how the game is reading it.

So.... I'm playing it through for a second time and I'm getting completely different cut scenes. Which is cool.

If you play badly after the first home game(game 2) you end up practicing shots at the gym with Michael B. Jordans character. If you play well you end up in a class, followed by meeting some chick (Freqs Sister?). Start flirting etc.

I'm sure there's more, I'll find out soon enough.

I like this multiple cut scenes things. Gives it a bit of teplayability factor which career didn't really have (for me anyway).

Made a 6'6 Shot Creator SG and I am absolutely tearing up college. I have scored at least 25 in every game and had a lot of rebounds and steals.

I'm not even getting those ***** blurbs after my games, all praise.


New Kobe is going to take the league by storm

O damm thanks for sharing - if you play well you indeed get mostly cutscenes from roommate/friend and the girl.

They've got a TON of cheerleader models. Would be interesting if you could actually pick which girl to flirt with. It's MyCareer after all.

Okay well I'd love to play this but its been stuck at 54%-56% for like an hour now :/

But one question.. is there a trick to play through it twice? Thinking about quitting the end of games to replay but I'd like to go through it twice if possible
