I really like the sound of all this, can't wait to play this game.

As I think about it you really couldnt use guys like Nash, Magic, Kidd, ect to full potential on the break because of not having a fake pass option.

I hope this physics system comes into play when I'm running off ball sets in My Player and the defender touches me while in a trail position and I stop in place for a one or two second bumping animation. Also when jockeying for position in the post, trying to move from one side of the paint to the other to get a pass, it's so frustrating that I couldn't break out of those animations.

This phsics system is giving me real high hopes, man.

Now...about plays that fizzle out because the ball handler decides to stand in place and waste the shot clock instead of reacting to the pick I've set or following the play chart that says they pass rather than do nothing.

damn hopstep button to be just a 1 button move. get ready for the hopstep cheese!!

Why does it matter if it's on one button or a combo of trigger and right stick? To my understanding (I don't play online) people abused it before anyway.

Plus if they're true to word with this physics system, if you square 'em up you can force 'em to commit a charge.

But moreso why is the hopstep so important? Why not spin move, or eurostep, or stepback? To me, it's on equal footing with the the rest of the layups in 2k12. Or why not a button that helps with on the fly coaching?

...but if you remember in 2k11, the hop step button also allowed you to do spins and step backs...i wasn't JUST for hop steps.

Noooooo

Hopefully the improved physics will balance the dreaded hop step and other moves out. The real test will be when an offensive player hop steps into the defender. What will be the outcome? I dont expect perfection, but I do want to see less ghosting and the appearance of a solid collision.

yeah...and some automatic charging calls would be nice too, for situations where someone tries to hop step right into a stationary defender.

Sounds good, need vids now.

All I can say is wow.

Nice. So they took everything that was good from the Live series and have thrown back into 2k. It reminds me of NBA live 2005 which was one of my favorite NBA games. I'm looking forward to the changes that are coming.

If they truly fixed the passing, (which it seems like they partially blame the user) then this game will seem close to perfect. I love the hop step option button and the bounce pass. My god, finally!!!! I've yelled one too many times at the TV because I couldn't get the best available passing option. Especially on a fast break where bounce passes are crucial.

I like the new controls. But I still need my Shot stick. I've been using it for 6 years. Can't go back to the button. And hop step is a important move while driving the basket.

I just wish Derrick Rose didn't use it in that playoff game.

Sounds good.

Shot stick is still in the game but now you have to hold the left trigger and then move the right analog

Everything sounds great and looks great. I am curious to see how the shot stick works but as long as its in I'm not worried about it. 2 things I'm skeptical about are the quote about pressing the right stick and something cool will happen. I would hate the game to be a crossover fest because that's not NBA basketball. The second is signature icons. This reminds me of something NBA live tried years ago. They said it doesn't effect ratings bit then net on to say the floor general icon boost awareness. I personally hate systems like this. If d.rose is a floor general it should already be quantified in his ratings and tendencies not a stupid icon. When live did that system it create super players with multiple icons. I have faith 2k will work it out. But I would hate to see the icon players with special abilities sort of speak.

2k made it work in all-pro football
