I read in the Live forums that Off Ball Control in Live 10 are exploitable in that you can score everytime down court. Is this true?

yes and yes. hate it in live 10.

That's the risk with too much control. You control too much aspects of the game, and at the end it might turn into "cheating" on the AI. 2K10 had an off-ball control, but I admit I hardly ever used it. What I used mainly was the Icon-Lead-Pass, which is one of the best feautres 2K ever implemented in their games. Was it cheesing? Maybe, but the fact is that you didn't have as much control over the Icon-Lead-Pass, I mean it's not like you could really move players to anywehre you wanted, it was limited.

The Euro Step is still what worries me since I don't remember it done in the NBA that much, but 2K11 might turn into a Euro-Step fest, and that's awful!!! Not only that it's not that common in the NBA, it's not even as powerful as video games might make it.
As I said, I really hope there's a slider for this step, I don't want seeing the CPU doing it every second posession. I also hope it's not as effective as cheesers would want. Think of the hop-step in Live 2004 compared to Live 2005. I want it to be like 2005's hop-step. In other words, not 100% successful and causing you TO's if done by the wrong guys, or at the wrong time.

I doubt the Euro-Step is that powerful. The only thing that might be is if they incorporate the fake passes into ball fakes while attacking. You'd probably see people online during the majority of there drives try to do some sort of ball fake.

2k really has to step up the defensive AI..because with these new controls, it means the difference between really good, or really bad.
