I know this is going to get locked down (sorry in advance Steve) but everytime I come to this site the 'Steve's impressions' thread is locked.
So, can anyone ask or Steve can you answer a few questions re:gameplay that I know haven't been asked yet?
Thanks again for everything Steve - as everyone before me has said, you are the man.
On to the questions:
1. Nothing has been mentioned about the take-charge on defense. I thought it was way too abusable last year (anyone who played online will agree I'm sure) and I'm wondering how it is this year?
2. In one of the videos it looked like the ball carrier was bumped back by a defender playing tight. How does this work?
3. I also noticed in a video what looked like a double-clutch from a jumpshot. Can you adjust your shot out of jumpers as well as dunk/layups? If so, how is this done? Same double-tap of the shoot button or do you just hold it longer?
4. Does the AI defense switch if you run a pick and roll quickplay (used to be one of the d-pad buttons, can't remember which one)?
5. What are the signature freestyle moves that have been talked about? IE. last year when you hadn't used your dribble, everyone did the same 4 basic moves, so you could get Shaq to bend over and palm the ball behind him....is it different now for all the players, or at least between big men and small men? If you could pass it around with your team and see what big Ben does compared to one of your guards that would be great.
6. If you can dunk whenever you want, how do you stop another User from scoring all the time when you are on D?
I have a bunch more but will leave it at that for now. Thanks again and sorry for the new thread. Feel free to lock it down and answer this in the original, locked thread.
