And in reference to 2K18, once you catch, the jab step, first step game appears to have been worked on.

Why? The game last year was fantastic. Defense and some other aspects need cleaning up yes but overall the game has improved leaps and bounds over the years. These guys know what they're doing and they listen to what people want. I wouldn't worry too much

Shoot/dribble/pass. It's basically when you have the ball and haven't used your dribble yet. Melo's game like he mentions is a perfect example. Lots of pump fakes and jab steps.

I want to know if manual dribble handoffs are still in the game. They were fluid in 17

If it's LT to perform crossovers (didn't watch vid). I believe Mike might have went back to how it was in 2K11. I believe you used to have to hold one of the triggers to do crossovers.

I think tapping it causes a crossover(left right) and tapping it again causes a double crossover (left right left right) instead of using the right stick -kanye shrug-

Would like to ask if rotation timeline is still in? If yes, is the auto substitution working fine?

In 2k17, the player wont get subbed out if committed 2 or more fouls in a quarter. The substituion would also mess up if one of the to-be-sub players is shooting a free throw.

This rotation timeline is one of the best improvements in 2k. I can literally apply the rotation to any team after watching the real game
