I also noticed using the shot stick in the paint area won't initiate heavy contact as much. Can anyone relate to this?

Exactly. I wished they just kept the controls the same and just let the "newcomers" to just use ALT A like alot of people do.

They have to get the game to play smooth before changing controls cause the dribbling control on 2k10 was horrible i like 2k9 dribbling control way better. I hope both hoop games this year are great because last year was a embarrissment to the sport

let's see this play out. it's definitely possible you will use the trigger and the right stick for dribbling. mid air collisions? awesome.

yea i swear this sounds a lot like nba live, hmmm and they are adding in-air collisions... hmm nba live??? people say live copies 2k... and it is true to a degree but to a large degree 2k copies live, when it came to the dynamic dna , 2k came out with its version, dunk contest, 2k came out with its version, dribble stick was in live, 2k comes out with one now? hmmm

I read somewhere else that half spin will be done with a quick 1/4 roll /rollback of the LEFT stick the joystiq previewer must have made a mistake. However there'll always be alternate control schemes, and right stick ball handling is already in the game.

Actually, this feature was also in Inside Drive 2003, which was the same year EA implemented it. And also, if I'm not mistaken, in NBA Shootout 2003.

I hope not, because if it is, we may have to push both sticks and pull both triggers for dunking. That's pretty annoying.
