They probably should be called on big men who shouldn't be dribbling or doing excessive fakes in the first place.

I would love to see that if you are controlling a big and you are like 5-10 feet range and your attempting multiple pump fakes on occasion a shuffle of the feet would be a great addition.

Here we go: It might sound a bit complex but it quickly becomes second nature once you get used to the system. You can even chain several flick flicks together like Hakeem’s Dream Shake, although excessive faking will often lead to a traveling violation. One way I like to use the flick flicks is to drive in, start a hop step layup by holding LT and moving the Shot Stick left or right, then faking into an up and under layup if the defense commits on my initial hop. The shots you can invent with the flick flicks are really impressive and I’m excited to see the highlights people put together using the feature.

Thats what I was thinking too.

By default, in relation to the hoop. But there's an option to make the shot stick absolute if you want.

Man. You guys are spoiling me with the amount of information and the sheer amount of interaction you have with the community.

I think you are talking about the drive cam. I love that CAM but like you, I dont play it often due to the lack of view of the other players. 2k has always listened to us b4 so hopefully next year we have some better cams.

I am overwhelmed... Not sure I can read anymore. Glad the demo drops tomorrow to actually get a hands on; so much to experiment with and learn. My goodness, if they incorporated all of this into a new College Hoops game also....
