It's time to incorporate the "Y" button into signature moves. It gets a little tiring to see only about 5 different moves that result out of the Y Button.

I say we make those signature styles... players hop step and spin quite differently than other players.

Manu Ginobili for one... his behind the back is key... and how he steps from the East to the West on drives... Here's a video of what I'm talking about...

Times to watch...

The whole video can help too.

There are plenty more, but Manu is my best example and after pressing the Y button, I want to see him do this stuff. I'll come up with more players later...

I also want Bruce Bowen's shot to be more like his... I've changed his sig shot to Andre Miller because it looks much closer to Bowen's shot than the "Bowen" one.

Nenad Krstic's sig shot is way off. In 2k, he had a hitch in his shot and holds the ball too high over his head.

his real shot looks more like Tyrone Lue's 2k sig shot.

Yao Ming....basic dunk for Big men...i doubt he has any power dunks...he pretty much straight arms them in like Duncan minus the speed...

warning: song may annoy...

not really, just lower the rim...hell Beluba can mocap that dunk

Definitely looking for the coaches to be more animated on the sidelines if that's cool. I'd love to see Scott Skiles going left and right, up and down the floor getting flustered over the calls and plays that the team does. Also, seeing Flip Saunders doing his little neck thing.
