I believe the RS dribbling is based on the defense and your timing, but the LS doesn't interfere with anything.

Is it just me or is the COU assist defense terrible. I'm talking about 1 guy dribbling the ball down court against 3 or 3 defenders. It seems like if you take one defender and miss, the cpu doesn't come to help. Their not guarding anyone because no one else is down there to guard yet. They just kind of post up in the lane and let the guy go right around them. I didn't play 2k12, and don't remember this on 11. Has anyone else noticed this?

this was one of my main complaints as well. Aside from what you pointed out, it seems like too many times after I score the cpu can just go full court pass the ball to the leaking guy and get an easy one on me.

Also the rotations of the cpu can be hit or miss on defense. If I decide to trap the pick and roll, a third guy will not rotate to the roller. Other instances too where the CPU refuses to help out on the rotations. These are things that I hope are tightened up in the final build.

This is what I am doing as well.

Plus, more often than not, there seems to be an extra stutter when using the RS to do crossovers.

Like what you said, I only use the RS for behind-the-back dribble. And also playing around with the ball when doing the "slow creep".

yeah, most of the time the basic left stick moves are more effective than the right stick. i find myself barely even using the right stick except to launch into a drive.

Presentation wise, I am very disappointed. This is the first time with NBA 2K where I feel like Im definitely not the demographic the game is shooting for. The last thing I felt the series needed was more bling in the menus and score overlays.

With this and the missing classic players, this has gone from a purchase to a Gamefly rental and a maybe purchase.

Im sure I will end up getting it at some point once it goes on sale, but for now I think I can just stick with my 2K12 and the downloadable rosters. I was just hoping for a bit more and instead I feel like its a bit less.

I knew about CW... didn't know about the other 2... but those three guys make it a gamebreaker?

Honestly, it felt like there were more teams there this year than last. Perhaps it is because they are all available from the start. And the players are much better represented this year.

I feel like the stealing is way too overpowered

I enjoyed the Greatest Mode last year, so just having the teams is kind of light on content in a way. The idea of the Lakers without Kareem is just ridiculous. Yes, he can be created, but its just not the same. I already had the Sacremento/Golden State teams and there were some great quality 76ers available for DL in 2K share. I like additions, not subtractions.

You are right, none of those things are a dealbreaker, but after playing the Demo, Im just not sure its really that much of an upgrade as a full game. It feels like way more went into making the menus and overlays shiny than went into Gameplay. Using the stick for dribble moves was already halfway there using controller setting Alternate B.

Im just feeling much more skeptical of this game than in years past. Perhaps my Gamefly rental time will sway me to buy it, but I think Im going to wait it out a bit.

It's nice having all the legendary teams unlocked from the get go but it would've been better if we have the option in exhibition games for old school rules and different filtered looks (b&w games and 70's era look)
