It's pretty unlike 2K to completely remove a mechanic, so I assume it's still in there as another button. Again, I am not a big hopstep/sig gather guy -- try to stick to the sticks whenever possible -- so I'm not sure where it might be or what. All I know is it seems you can post up from further away by pressing Y this year.

Re: NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)
When 2K first introduced the Shot Stick, I knew I would I love it as soon as I read about it. I didn't even have to have hands on to be sure. I had an intuitive sense of it being a perfect design decision, for me at least.
I feel the same way about posting up being on the "Y" button. I can already tell that it just works for me.Jordan Mychal Lemos

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.
Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.Comment

Re: NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)
wrong...the hopstep needs to be included in the game. it's a move that is used in the NBA on a regular basis...to not include one of the most common moves in basketball would be ridiculous.
the mistake they made in 2k11 was that the hopstep button was completely uninterruptable..meaning, if your opponent performed it, the game would automatically make your defender move out of the way and prevent you from cutting off the hopstep..
the solution is not to remove it...the solution is to just make the hopstep less powerful and actually allow defenders to prevent the hopstep animation with body contact and proper positioning.Last edited by blues rocker; 08-29-2011, 09:22 PM.Comment

That's such a small issue, him not palming the ball, and I really hope people don't complain about such a small graphical thing. Altough, people have argued over smaller things (Lebron's headband).

They had Hi Top shoes back in the 60s?
I thought they all played in Low Tops at the time?#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)
I agree it's not a huge deal, but it'd certainly be a big addition to Erving's signature style. Maybe I'd liken it to Jordan's tongue wag or palming pump fake. It definitely didn't have to be there, but it added a heck of a lot (in my opinion) to the entire essence of Jordan.
The way Dr. J handled the ball due to his hand size created some of the most distinctive plays in NBA history and in truth, 2K's interpretation of his reverse layup looks cheapened a little without the palm. And I'm trying to make it clear that I'm not complaining. Rather, I'm just saying, palmed dunks and maneuvers would certainly bolster Erving's cyber-arsenal.Comment

I get you.
Seems like it's been a problem in basketball games forver that you don't get the players to palm the ball. I guess if they could do it in a good manner they would include it.
It is a staple of Dr J though so it would be cool if they had it.

Re: NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)
This is cool and everything, but they better give Aldridge and Roy their own sig shot this year.
I will be really pissed off if a lot of old legends have their own shots and sig moves but the current nba players don'tComment

Re: NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)
That's because current players have to earn it
Only respectable people deserve respect, you destroyed the game.Comment

THIS WILL OUTSELL 2k11 and be better than 2k11 in every way. 2k11 is one of my all time favorite games and the only game i play on my 360 and 2k12 will no doubt blow it out of the water. these articles just boost up my excitement for this game. I WANNA PLAY THE DEMO NOW!!!Comment

Re: NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)
They have Kapono's sig shot and another players, but not Aldridge or Brandon Roy? (and I'm sure other stars doesn't have their own sig shot or it's really bad represented.
This is 2k12, not 2k80's, they need to focus on current players 1st.Comment
