    really just a minor issue, but i think they could've implemented this feature a little better. something simple like a slow dribble back and forth. or if they wanted to keep those really fancy animations they have no, make it so the direction the player heads in is automatically animated, like the triple threat bursts ones. so if i'm in a "size-up" animation and decide i want to drive hard to the the right, the size-up animation will blend into a drive type animation with the ball further away from the defender.

    or maybe i just need to get use to all the different animations...rigth now it's just not really that useful to me though.
    I think the implemented them nicely, I have used them with JWill and DWade, to create space and knock down the J and drive past defenders.

      I like it, I especially like how its not its own dedicated button, ala Winning Eleven. Great implementation

        Ruben... The X button is definetely not working for me on the DIVES... is it any other button? or do you have to press it a certain way? Anyone else know either?

            damn.. sorry Xcell.. now we know for sure.. sorry to put you through that.

            we need a forum thread designed just to controls, if the manual isnt decent.

                i think its tapping the L trigger in a stationary position, or doing it while moving... ive seen jwill do similiar but different style of moves using L.

                ---

                also, ive been looking at fastbreak videos on youtube recently. there are quite a few "contested" fastbreaks. this game in some sense almost covers that. its not perfect but sometimes i feel we get a skewed perspective on some things about how they ought to be, when in reality there a bit different.

                im definetly not excusing the fact there is some "catch up" but in real life there is rarely a fastbreak that isnt somewhat contested... most of the times that they are, the D is giving up from possible fatigue. which isnt factored into the demo.

                maybe im just trying to give myself alittle hope, but i feel it will be a fun game this year

                  I did it with J Will a few times last night. I know i clicked the left trigger a couple of times while clicking forward on the left stick

                    Think I found how to do that dribble move Dwade and Kobe have. When you get in the lane tap Y and I'm positive a defender has to be in your way...They should pivot and its up to you what move gets done. Other times when I hit Y in the lane I get a spin move animation that slices the defense...amazing stuff, to bad I couldn't record it.

                      ^try pressing X sometimes when you sorta see a clean lane. i dont know if its random but ive seen random split the D with so many nice moves... thats one thing i wouldnt exactly like, which is the randomness. but sometimes its cool to see something new. I could always just the shotstick.

                      just remember X seems to unleash some crazy stuff.


                      ps.. anyone have a layup from the shot stick hit the rim? ive had 2 hit the rim so far. like i said earlier, i dont quite know what im getting with the X button so I dont know if its a better gamble than using the shotstick where i may get blocked by the rim.. any advice?

                        cool, that seems to work.

                          check that clip. instead of bursting to the left, what are the commands you would do to burst to the right out of the jab step for example.

                            Thats one of the animations I got also! There are a couple more in the situation so keep working on it.

                              Ok so after you hit the y and he does his spin. Which way on the stick did you use to get the jumper off? Or did you use x?

                                seems you can get similar results with the y button:



                                or you can flick the right stick one way, and then hold it the other way to fade:



                                using the y button seems to result in a more seamless animation, but you can use the right stick method easier from the post. shakedowncapo, you're right...there are a few animations. haha, the one i recorded has to be the slowest on of them all.
