So, passing is great this year. I love the quicker animations and the way my teammates will break into position when a wing pass is thrown. This makes it feel realistic as I no long throw right into defenders in most locations.
While it still is nowhere near perfect, there has been a vast improvement this year. Here are some additional passing techniques I would love to see implmented in next year's installment:
- Tip Passes: Many times on a break when two people are going after a loose ball, you will see a good player tip the ball as a pass to a darting teammate in transition.
- Tip Rebounds: Many times as bigs fight for a rebound, it is more efficient to try and tip the rebound to a teammate rather than gather it himself.
- More Flashy Pass Animations: While there are plenty new ones this year, I see the same ones recycled. It would be nice for some additional ones to be implemented.
- Icon Alley-Oops: Currently, we can not use icon passing to alley-oop. This can be troublesome when two eligible receivers are filling the lane.
These are some of mine. I have some others but I would like to hear some thoughts from the community.
